2003 Honda CR-V SE Executive review from UK and Ireland
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The back window did not fit from standard.
Wheel bearings disintegrated.
Brakes have warped.
The clutch is slipping and the dealer tells me that this is pretty common, it will need to be replaced.
Unexplained uneven tyre wear.
General comments?
I traded from the Freelander because I believed that it would be more reliable having had a few problems with my Land Rover, however, they were nothing quite as bad as I experienced with the Honda.
Trade in value is weak for this type of car, the Land Rover was better.
This car has no off road ability.
Dealer service is excellent, it is just the car that is bad.
