Honda CR-V

"The acceleration is terrible. It is worse with 4 passengers and the AC on. It is a sloth."

"Generally good but acceleration when entering a highway off a ramp is sometimes too slow or "iffy.""

"Has the power to easily overtake other vehicles on the highway and I have no problem hauling my utility trailer. Other SUV's i've owned have been lacking in those areas."

"AC has broken twice. Road noise is loud."

"Both are very smooth"

"Noisy, noisy noisy! AWD was great until it failed due to rear differential."

"The handling and turning radius are very good,"

"The car is a little noisy."

"It only has 4-cylinders and I think around 160 horsepower. It does not accelerate well going up hills and gives off a smell, like the oil seals are leaking or something is burning. Does not handle all that well on curves so must slow down under the limit for curves."

"Handling and steering is superb."

"Car drives very smooth and quiet."

"As is true for every honda I have owned, it's acceleration is sluggish and hesitant. Good thing I'm rarely in a big hurry."

"Handles easily."

"When air conditioning is on, acceleration is diminished when starting to accelerate."

"The acceleration is not that fast and causes some worry when passing."

"Car needs a more powerful engine with better acceleration and gas mileage. More gears in the transmission would also help.."

"This vintage CRV is quick from a standing start but lacks performance at fast highway speeds on hills. However, it performs well on snowy roads...It feels safe and secure"

"When AC is engaged ascending a steep engine power suffer to the piont that AC needs to be switched off to regain power to excelerate up a hill"

"Acceleration is acceptable. It's certainly limited compared to other vehicles in the class, such as the Rav 4 V6, but it's easy to get used to. Handling is reasonable and feels precise. Not much feedback from steering wheel."

"Drives very well. And for its age the acceleration is very good. The handling in wind is outstanding."

"easy to maneuver"

"The a celebration and handling are still terrific in the car."

"very easy to control while sliding on ice/snow."

"it works - without any trouble... just what I want"

"Couldn't drag the skin off a rice pudding - annoying and inconsistent lag between pushing pedal and going - makes overtaking like roulette"

"After driving the f250 this 03 CRV EX all wheel drive is quick and ninble and will go most anywhere and I can turn on a dime & park in tiny locations"

"The "RealTime" 4 wheel drive provides excellent traction and control on icy and snow covered roads. Its mileage per gallon is very poor considering it has a 4 cylinder engine and a 5 speed manual transmission."

"Turning radius is great"

"Excellent handling when maneuvering in city. Getting in and out of parking spaces is incredibly easy. Tight turning radius."

"As much power as I need and easy to drive."

"Very good steering with good feedback. Very safe, predictable handling. A pleasure to drive."

"car skids on ice and snow before shifting into all wheel drive"

"Car handles very well. I've always enjoyed driving it."

"Total mileage and handling"

"Acceleration is fantastic!"

"Not bad. A bit noisy."

"One of the best vehicles I've ever owned."

"Ride is noisy on the highway/ at higher speeds"

"The air conditioning system failed after about 150000 miles and has never been completely repaired because of cost. I could not participate in a class action lawsuit because of the amount of miles on the vehicle."

"Air conditioner failure"

"It has to much road noise to much shock over bumps in road."

"Rides a bit rough for long trips"

"This was once a decent vehicle, but compared to modern cars it is very noisy and unrefined. We will replace it soon."

"The biggest problem is the road noise. Very loud.!"

"Front passenger seat does not slide back far enough."

"While the seats are comfortable and the rear bench is very roomy, the ride noise is considerable."

"Passenger seat uncomfortable. Road noise a bit louder than most american cars but nowhere as loud as the 2003 Rav 4 that I drove before I bought my CRV."

"Seats not very comfortable"

"Road noise was always bad."

"The car drives smoothly and the mpg is good."

"AC failed at 36000 but Honda only helped with $300 toward a $2,000 repair from a class action suit. Expensive car but manufacturer wouldn't back it up on several repairs including AC and brakes. Reliability isn't as advertised."

"My only criticism is road noise, it's disappointing"

"Generally a good ride but it is noisy and one feels the road too much."

"Noisy - too much road noise"

"Very comfortable seats for both driver and passengers. Very comfortable ride. Easy to drive, tracks well, responsive steering. Air conditioner compressor now needs replacing also needs rear struts."

"It is comfortable but a bit noisy on the highway. It also has a rough ride over uneven roads."

"Ride is tight, controlled, crisp. Interior is noisy."

"The air temperature for my 2003 CRV is difficult to keep at a steady comfortable level. The road and engine noise is tolerable for around town trips but is tiring on longer trips. The seats lack cushioning and this also makes for a tiring ride."

"Road noise is noticeable,ride a bit stiff. I can live with both of those. Overall a great car."

"I find the seat very uncomfortable when we travel any distance. I usually end up with a backache. The leg room is also an issue. Not enough for someone with long legs."

"Love the smooth, quiet ride and the higher seating view of the road"

"Seats are very comfortable, A/C is very cold. Rides nice for a small SUV."

"Comfortable upright position, easy to enter and exit. Good headroom for tall people (I am 6'2") and comfortable seat for a person with back problems."

"Overall comfort is good. It’s the outside road noise that leads to some dissatisfaction. Although having owned the car since 2003 it must not be too bad"

"large on inside"

"Lots of support from the seats, ride is more like a sedan than an SUV, some harshness over bumps, but suspension components may need replacement soon."

"The car is 15 years old and, as such, the seats are not all that comfortable after driving a number of hours. I have bought a separate cushion to help with this."

"A lot of road noise!"

"The seats are comfortable. The noise is okay, but could be a little quieter. The ride is good. Stiff, but then it is a SUV"

"Rised like new."

"Road noise is terrible due to bad roads caused by studded tires."

"Ride is good outside of road noise...can be quite annoying!"

"Seats are comfortable. Ride is generally good"

"Smooth driving but road noise at highway speed and bumps in road are more pronounced than I'd like."

"This is a very noisy car. Even with new tires made for quite ride, it is still very loud with road noise."

"Erect sitting position, super quiet engine, almost-too-tight turning radius"

"have had the CR-V for 14 years and still love it."

"What can I say about a car that has served us well with minimal expenses. Great in snowy weather. Reasonable mileage and ride is smooth.ride is smooth, seats are very comfortable , even on long rides."

"Good:excellent headroom, access to controls. Bad: Road noise, poor acceleration"

"good for suv"

"Fit and support are great, feel relaxed while driving."

"seats good"

"Relatively noisy and rough eide"

"Road noise noticeable and more than expected."

"Cabin is noisy at highway speed. Seating uncomfortable for drives over 2 hours."

"Rough ride--not a good road car."

"Due to reliability and relatively low maintenance costs (that is, no unplanned maintenance), the Honda represents reliable transportation at predictable costs."

"AC component failure happened at 180,000 miles. A water heater hose leak at 220,000. No engine or transmissions problems to date 226K miles. It has been a durable reliable car that rides a bit noisy."

"Very reliable and can be towed behind my MH"

"This CRV has had zero mechanical issues other than standard maintenance. Extremely high reliability."

"My car has 171K miles. I maintain it, but has never broken down or failed me mechanically. Although I miss the new bells and whistles available in newer cars, there is no reason for me to stop using this car. I hope to get to 250K miles."

"Great value from a Honda vehicle. My CR-V is reliable and durable. It is economic with gas' I get on average 24 mpg., I can haul a lot of stuff because the seats fold done and the cargo area is roomy."

"I have learned over the past 20 years to buy Honda vehicles coming off of 2-year leases directly from the dealership in order to get the best value. These vehicles offer up to 10 years of trouble free driving. In this case, the vehicle is used for short range trips with excellent cargo options."

"Given that I have owned this car since new (almost 13 years) and continues to run and look great, I think I have gotten a lot of value. I put on about 10,000 miles per year."

"The CRV has been very dependable, other than routine maintenance, the vehicle had more than one hundred thousand miles before the first necessary repair, Just recently, the AC compressor failed, the repair for the AC would cost as much as 30% of the current value of the CRV. I do not plan to repair the AC because of the cost. Overall, I still consider the CRV an excellent value."

"Have had some expensive repairs lately, but overall it has been a very good running vehicle."

"I have 286,000 miles on this car and have mainly only performed routine maintenance with no major repairs."

"Purchased as a used car---and still in great shape, both in looks and operations. Local Honda dealer loves it!!!!"

"The car is old and I should get a newer CR-V, but I am hesitant doing so as this car gives me no headache.for my purpose of doing small errands around my city..."

"The car has 151,000 miles and we have done very little to it....making it a great value!"

"Reliability Ability to carry host of items"

"We've had the car for 17 years and other than wear and tear, it has served us very well. For around $20,000, we have driven this car all around the country in all types of weather and it has never let us down."

"After 240000 miles I still feel confident enough with this vehicle to take it across country. It still runs like new."

"The vehicle has more than 150,000 miles on it. Beyond repairs to do routine wear, it has been generally trouble free. The body and frame are rust-free, despite 13 PA winters. We expect to drive it for at least another 50,000 miles, unless wwe decide to go from 2 to 1 vehicle, selling both and buying a new SUV."

"13 years old and 266,000 miles and no major problems"

"At 228000 miles, it has been very reliable and dependable. My only major repair was the ac replacement in 2011. Original brakes started pulsating, & I replaced them about 3 years ago."

"Pronounced road noise. Enjoyed driving past my mechanic for years!"

"It has been a very good car overall. We bought it used as a one-owner car. It has been very reliable."

"It has 270000 miles on it without any major repair. Always followed the manufacturers maintenance schedule."

"It is almost 14 model years old. I have no problems with it. It cost 22,000 sticker price NEW. I paid less. My cost per year is absolutely great."

"I bought this car used in 12/27/2008 almost 8 years ago. I paid $11,000 for it in a car buyer's market. It had 56,000 miles on the odometer. I keep careful records of both maintenance (oil, filters, tires, batteries, brake pads, etc.) and repairs. Over this time period, I spent an average of $269 per year on maintenance, and $162 on repairs. The car now has 117,000 miles, or an average of 8,500 miles per year (We're retired and do no commuting. I think that this car represented the best va"

"It's been a great car, for not a lot of money. Very satisfied."

"long time use very reliable"

"I purchased this vehicle 4 years ago for 6K. Yes, it has some wear. I keep it well maintain and except for some body rust that I had to have repair this vehicle has been perfect. It is a great car."

"13 years old and still going strong. It's hard to get a manual transmission CRV these days so I plan to keep it awhile longer."

"The 15 year old car has been reliable with very little additional yearly cost to run other than oil and gas"

"The Honda CR-V is very reliable and drives well."

"Very dependable vehicle."

"This body style has changed but favor over the new style. After all the yrs. feel I got my money worth. The biggest problem is the light for the safety seat belt and the bigg recall they still have not fix it. Dragging there feet on problem."

"The BEST vehicle I have ever owned!"

"Roomy, reliable, and comfortable. It really hit all the right points for me."

"Great all-around SUV for city."

"Best priced vehicle for the value including accessories in our area."

"Got just what I bought it for"

"Reliable . Engine has a chain not belt so costs are lower to replace"

"Good dependable car"

"The car is 15 years old and keeps on going."

"I don't think anyone is all that likely to buy a 15-year old car. That being said, the paint job has held up over the years - no signs of rust - and there are no rips/tears in the interior fabrics. Runs well and gets me from point A to point B without any drama - don't want to jinx myself but it has never broken down/had to be towed, which a lot of my friends can't say about their cars. I think it was a good investment and well worth what I paid for it."

"this car is 15 years old. It has 232456 miles on it. I bought it new and the only major problem is I had is replacing the air condition condenser twice. Reliability has been great."

"226000 miles and no problems with engine or transmission"

"`All things considered, the cost of major repairs, compared to replacing it, has made it one of the best bargains we have ever made. Equally important, none of these repairs left us stranded: the vehicle always gave us notice - formal or other - that the repair was imminent."

"For the price, the CRV has done everything we wanted -- generous cargo area, decents handling, few mechanical problems. Gas mileage could be better."

"has been reliable transportation"

"This car has never left me on the side of the road. Very reliable."

"About to be 16 yrs old. Runs great, mileage is good, no repairs just normal upkeep."

"I still see a lot of these on the road. That says something!"

"In general, I am very happy with the Honda product. The options and quality for the price is very satisfying."

"Great small SUV that has never let us down when it comes to the space it provides and it's cost of ownership."

"Very happy with what I paid and what i have received."

"It's lasted forever with very little expense"

"Our 2003 Honda CR-V has almost 300k miles and no major repairs. Engine uses no oil, runs smoothly. Most costly repair has been new brakes and tires."

"Great value for a honda. Only wish if new honds would provide the same reliabiliy and value??"

"It was a great value, especially considering that it is this old and still runs great."

"14 years of reliable use. Whast more is there to say?"

"It can last a long time"

"Car is 14 years old and has minimal problems"

"The design and specifications of the cargo area make it possible to transport unexpectedly large amounts of stuff or large items, which is not the case for later models."

"I love my Honda it has been an excellent vehicle in all areas...Please note airbag issues was a recall by company making the airbags."
