Best Car I have Ever Owned!
My 2003 CRV EX with over 242,000 miles has been the absolute BEST car I have ever owned in terms or reliability, minimal repairs and overall performance in all weather conditions. The only complaint I have is the driver side door lock actuator which needed replacement and apparently has been an issue with this year Honda. However, when I decided to buy a new car for business needs, I choose another CRV without hesitation.
LOVE!!! I dread the day I have to replace it
This is the best car I have ever purchased!!!!
I bought my 2003 Cr-V brand new and 9 years later have put 160,000 miles on it.
I have had no major repair issues that are not associated with normal wear and tear.
I did have to replace the A/C compressor, but only once and after 100,000 miles of use.
I put mainly highway miles on it in New England with snow, ice, road salt, and a heavy lead foot without a problem.
It drives like a dream and I have no issues with noise.
I have been rearended on the highway 3 times and only sustained significant damage with the 3rd accident.
This car is very well built and incredibly safe.
I wish Honda still made them the same way.
Good car Except for expensive A/C repair
Bought this w/ 94K miles and overall its an OK. As expected, it is very weak and slow. However, unexpected was poor gas mileage. This car is both slow and thirsty! I only get 20-22mpg mixed and for a 4cylinder this is unacceptable. I've gotten better gas mileage w/ V-6's.
Also, the A/C compressor problem is not a rumor or a joke. I knew about this problem after reading reviews but I did not think it was common enough to be a risk, so bought the car anyway. I was wrong and 3 months after purchasing it the A/C compressor broke. Seems like not a big deal since its not engine/trans related but guess again. From the dealer, the A/C repair was quoted at $4000! because they need to replace the entire system. Thats more than an engine or transmission. Luckily I found an indy mechanic that fixed it for $1800. Still alot of $ to spend especially when comparable RAV4s don't have any of these costs.
