  • Damn Good Car - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Have had it for about a month and Im really impressed. Looks kinda small from the outside and blows you away with the space inside, especially with the rear seats folded (really cool feature). Peppy without being gas guzzly, and the looks are in line with the clean, classic Honda look. Is much quieter than my old Corolla, and I dont slow down as mych in the rain. Really happy with my purchase.

  • Fun & Full of Ideas - 2003 Honda CR-V

    Tons of storage places. Fun to drive. Corners well. The smooth acceleration is surprisingly good (way better than the RAV4s automatic), yet efficient (RPMs shoot up to give power, then go right back down again to save on fuel). Back is great for big dogs. Child safety seats fit easily, the rear center console gives kids a place for their sippy cups/snacks, and the rear doors have tons of places for coloring books, etc. This car is priced very well for what you get out of it. I am so glad I bought it!

  • Second time customer doubly pleased! - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I had a 98 Honda CR-V and when it was totalled, I immediately got the then brand new 2003 CR-V. This was in the first week of January when finding one at any price at any dealership was a tough job. I still happily paid the premium (you get what you pay for- about $600 less than MSRP) and since then have been 100% satisfied. High marks for the thoughtful and family friendly interior. Youd be surprised how much space there is when you fold the rear seats! We loved the picnic table a lot (made our car popular among friends!) and it returns in an even bigger form!

  • Wow...This thing is fun - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    Just purchased 2003 EX AT in black. Really amazed at the peppy 4 cyl. I traded a 2002 EX V6 Accord coupe and the CRV seems more zippy. Engine is quite on the highway and theres not much wind noise. The suspension inspires confidence in the corners. The tires are a bit noisy and the radio is a bit far away. Perhaps controls on the steering wheel for us commuters. Dealer wouldnt budge on price.

  • A good alternative - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    The car completely lives up to the quality I have come to expect in a Honda. Two small complaints, 1)the small back window makes the blind spot bigger then average and 2) the handling in the rain is not as stable as I would have liked.

  • Best Mini SUV Out There ! - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    I test drove every other mini-suv on the market today and the CR-V is tops in just about every category. Its engine might not be the most powerful out there but its response and smoothness more than make up for it. The CR-V handles very well on-road for an SUV and is a snap to park in even the tightest spots. For its size the CR- V is incredibly spacious. There are so many places to put things, that you might never use them all. The interior is my favorite part of this Honda. At 62" I have more than enough leg, head and shoulder room. With the front seats all the way back, I even have enough room in the back seats to sit comfortably.

  • My 2nd honda vehicle - 2003 Honda CR-V
    By -

    this is my 2nd new honda purchase, 1st being in 2000 on a ex honda accord. I just took delivery of 2003 crv ex with auto. Ride is good for a mini suv with awd, so far I enjoy everything about the crv. although Ive only had it less then a week, Ive already put almost 400miles on it. Just a fun vehicle to drive. internet/fleet manager (Kevin) was excellent to deal with. Got me a good price, walked me throught the whole crv, just a good buying experience via Los Gatos Honda
