Used 2004 Honda CR-V SUV Consumer Reviews
Shame on Honda
I have been purchasing vehicles for over 30 years, and this is the first new vehicle I've ever bought. It is a total lemon! I am very, very disappointed in Honda as I used to think they were a very reputable company, but not anymore. From just under 10K, I started having oil leaking problems that my whole family would smell and each time I brought the car to the dealer for service, they would fix it temporarily. I have 55K on it now, and over the years I have had the oil pan replaced, the oil line, and the latest adventure was the oil sensor. This is a problem Honda knew about! I'm done with them.
This car is s-o-o-o-o thirsty
This car is s-o-o-o-o thirsty Gas mileage is horrible In city (no traffic) 17 miles/gallon; highway 23 miles/gallon. I even went on a trip Seattle LA - Seattle to test/confirm these numbers Dealer said that it may get better after 7500 miles Why??? I think I would NOT buy CR-V if I knew about this gas consumption

It's True...Honda QC is SluMping Fast!
I miss my 95 Accord. It was by far the best vehicle I have ever owned, selling it with 157,000 miles on it. Drove it Coast to Coast and it NEVER ONCE let me down. The 2004 CRV I have now has 57,000 mi on it. It's not horrible..but not great either: I'm 6'1" and can (NEVER) get comfortable due to the lack of leg room...which is primarily my fault for not taking it on a 100 Mi test drive:).. Right! Everything still works BUT the squeaks and bad rattles are Everywhere!..Including Multiple windows, passenger side belt, the front suspension...Mechanic still can't figure that one out! Interior scratches easily, and loud road noise. I'm selling it for an alternative Colorado friendly car.
Beware before buying
I owned a prior CRV and I was disappointed to see that this CRV was lower then my 1998 one was. I have knocked off the CA fuel can for SMOG emissions 3 times now. I have also hit the fuel tank on the CRV with rocks and scraped it going over the same kind of terrian that I took my 1998 CRV. Honda informed me that this CRV was not to be driven on dirt roads or sand, yet they have ads showing this. Even recently I have seen a Honda CRV being driven on the beach (this is not reality). Don't plan on buying this car if you live on a dirt road, it is about as low as a regular car. On the Highway and streets it performs well.

The CR-V handles curves without excessive roll. The size of this vehicle is just right for me; don't really need the 8 passenger space of he Pilot for myself since I'm not carting the children around anymore...until grandchildren come around, anyway. Like the performance of the i-VTEC.
