  More than I expected. - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By Bobrobin - July 11 - 10:00 am

  If you are looking for a compact SUV or an alternative to a family car you have to check the CR-V. I got much more than I expected. Acceleration and power are more than adequate for the vehicle. Interior space and storage areas are unmatched in its class. Styling has been much improved in the latest generation. The quality is outstanding for a $18-$19,000 vehicle. Could it use a little here and there, yes, but if your that picky, buy a Lexus or Acura. But, for us middle classers, you cant beat it. Just one thing, get the keyless entry. No power lock button on passenger door is a pain. My keyless entry is on order.

  Im Happy - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By J Mac - June 16 - 8:36 pm

  Couldnt be happier with our 2002 CRV 5 speed EX. Highly recommend the 5 speed as it is fun, smooth and adds a lot of spunk. The engine power is perfect. The size of the vehicle suits our needs - not too small, not too big. The CRV is much roomier, sportier, and quick and than the Accord I traded. Very quiet, too. No complaints here other than having had to pay list price.

  Aggressive looking,but boring engineCRV - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By stever817 - May 29 - 10:00 am

  I moved from a 2000 Accord V6 coupe to a manual trans CRV thinking that the this would make road trips, game days easier. Well, its nice for around town shopping, but any long distance trips, camping trips, etc shows off the limitations. Gas mileage is not that great when you consider that most SUVs with V6s are getting about 20- 24mpg. This vehicule after 14 months of driving could not muster any better then 22mpg. Best thing about the CRV is its strong resale value.

  Honda CRV - Accident Waiting to Happen - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By Kent Myers - May 24 - 10:00 am

  CR-V interior design and mechanical is great but it is an accident waiting to happen. Rear wheels kicking in while turning a corner on ice sends the car into a spin. The same on a wet curvy road w/suggested speed of 30 mph. The car began to skid while slower then suggested speed. When the brakes were used, the car went into a spin. Obviously the rear drive engaged where front-wheel drive alone is the safest. Why design a car without a four-wheel drive override? Why design a car allowing four-wheel drive over 20-35 mph? Insurance companies disallows ABS discounts for "on-demand" all-wheel drive cars. Wonder what they know that the consumers dont?

  Almost perfect - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By racerx2k - May 10 - 10:00 am

  Weve had our CR-V for a few weeks and its been great!! Great fuel economy, good handling (for a mini-ute), solid construction. We had a Grand Vitara as a loaner car while our other car was in the shop, and it was a HUGE difference. Even with the V6 it felt less powerful than the CR-V.

  Lots of problems? - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By ron p - May 4 - 10:00 am

  I had several bad experince on this car. The first problem was theres a burning smell on the engine. Dealer said its normal for new vehicle. The smell went away only after 10K miles (or got used to it). The second problem is the clicking noise whenever I hit the breaks the first time after its park for a few hours. Dealer says thats normal. #$#@!! Anyway, Im stuck with it so Ill mention its a nice drive.

  Great little car! - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By Bill Klett - April 5 - 10:00 am

  Only thing I don;t like is Honda dealers using receptionists. I want to talk to my mechanic & not just see his photo on my bill. Soon as my warrantee runs out, Im going to a garage that lets you see & talk with the "technician". Also, a 20,000 mile checkup with oil change costs $90 at Honda & I got the same thing across the street at a "Tires Plus"for $18.95!

  Bike Riders Value Vehicle - 2002 Honda CR-V
  By Bike Rider - March 28 - 10:00 am

  I chose this type of vehicle because I wanted my bicycle to fit inside, standing upright. It was important to me to keep both the outside dimensions and price as small as possible. The CRV was my best choice after looking at the Escape and RAV 4. The list price was $19,260 and I was able to get $560 off. I wonder if buyers will get better deals as time goes by. This is my first foreign vehicle and am looking forward to the "legendary" Honda quality and durablity. So far so good except for intermittant light on dash board for engine emissions problem.
