I Love My CR-V

I bought this car after my first car was totaled in an accident and am absolutely in love with it. I bought a 2003 with a little under 150,000 miles on it and in the past two years I have put right around 30,000 miles on it and it's held up way better than I expected. I get suprisingly good gas milage for an SUV averaging around 25 MPG and sometimes getting as many as 27 miles to the gallon. It's extrememly reliable and handles great in the snow and is easy to judge. My only issue with the car is the A/C went out last fall and was estimated at over $1,000 to repair. I decided it wasn't worth it so I just roll the windows down in the summer. But overall, I love my car and am going to be sad when I see it go which is hopefully many years down the road.

Best Value SUV

Smooth, high-revving engine that gets most jobs in most situations done-and done well. More spacious than the Accord wagon I had back in college and looks better too. I get about 22 mpg which is more than I expected. All in all, I love the thing.

Excellent car. I drive it long miles to work everyday. I have about an hour and a half commute one way. It has not failed me yet and would recommend it to anyone looking for good gas mileage in an SUV

Love the CR-V

After doing much research between the CR-V and Toyota RAV4, I decided that the CR-V would suit me better. It's an enjoyable car to drive and has the space to haul cargo, unlike the RAV4. I absolutely love the fuel economy that I get with the CR-V (especially coming from a gas-hogging Jeep Cherokee). It offers a very smooth ride, is responsive in steering, and has a slick and stylish design.

LOVED My CR-V

My dad purchased the 2003 CR-V LX 4WD new in 2002. When I was ready to drive, he passed it down to me. I drove it for the next eight years with only a few fixes. The front/rear brakes and alternator were the most major repairs, but with good reason. I went to school in Ithaca, NY for four years and the snow/sleet/hail took its toll. For the winter beatings it went through, it held up great. I recently got in an accident and my CR-V was totaled - a Chevy truck hit my front passenger wheel. The impact hit all the right spots and my poor CR-V couldn't be repaired. It was only at 78,500 miles. It's a HUGE shame - this car had many years left in it. I miss it greatly.
