  • My First SUV - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Excellent drive with outstanding capabilities in the snow. Nice interior finish, smooth drive, very good acceleration for a 4 cyl SUV and very quiet engine. So far with 10000 km on it is a no problem SUV. The VTEC engine performs extremely well and it appears to be an outstanding technology. Only desappointment are the small tires and their noise

  • will never buy another honda - 2003 Honda CR-V

    The car is noisy and feels cheaply made. Very tinny. Lots of rattles and air noises. Very uncomfortable ride. The smallest bump in the road feels huge. Looses grip on tight turns on wet pavement. Feels like it could flip over very easily. The dealership service dept is aweful! They never believe my complaints and blow smoke up my butt about what they fixed. I will never buy another honda nor go to that dealer again! I am going back to subaru!

  • Fun, comfort and room - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    This smaller sized SUV hugs the road well, has very comfortable seats even for long periods at the wheel and has the advantage of fitting in just about any parking space easily. While its cargo capacity is not as large as larger SUVs, its handled all my needs so far, from large furniture boxes to good sized trees. Any one whos driven it really loves it.

    Like most if not all automobiles made in Japan the Honda CRV has been the typical start up and go reliability we have come to expect from cars today. Bob Nadel

    this vehicle is fun to drive, if you are looking for off-road action do not buy this SUV.

    Enjoy the spacious feel and drivability on the road. Was looking for something larger but still decent gas mileage and it fits the bill. Good milage on the open road.

  • 2003-EX CRV-Almost There! - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I too looked around and narrowed it down to the Tribute and the CR-V. Since I had owned previous Hondas, I went with the known entity. The 4 cylinder is very peppy, more so than most V-6s I have driven. Its pretty economical, though I felt gas mileage would be better, averaging about 21-22 mpg local. Interior design needs work, the gear shift needs to be on the floor as one can knockout of gear by trying to change radio stations! Heated exterior mirrors would also be beneficial as well as intermittent wipers. All in all, for the price, its a very tidy package. Service needs to be more responsive...

  • Almost perfect. - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Researched many small SUVs and chose the EX above all others. Outstanding performance, fit & finish and well thought out interior...with two small exceptions. The drivers arm rest needs to be larger to make it useful and Id like to see automatic headlight shutoff and daytime running lights made standard on the EX (and would gladly pay extra for the option). Even if the dealer has a CRV on the floor that sports 17" rims (an option) do not buy them. The only tires you can get are low riders...which limit your winter driving options.

  • Great purchase! - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I bought my CR-V in July after having a Saturn for 6 years. The CR-V kicks the Saturn out of this world ... I love it! Its sporty and lots of fun to drive. I recommend the EX, though, because I test drove the LX and found a big different in the two. I LOVE my CR- V!!
