2003 Honda CR-V LX review from North America
"Very good vehicle for the hearing impaired"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The CR-V has been a very reliable vehicle. I perform work on the car myself and it has not been that difficult. Good gas mileage. The CR-V protected my son in bad car accident. At 39,000 a minor seal went bad in the rear. It repair was $70.00.
My biggest issue with the CR-V is cabin noise at highway speeds (60mph+). It makes normal conversation difficult and listening to music a pain. It needs more noise suppression insulation. Better tires help a little bit.
I have a 5 speed manual transmission which I prefer with a 4 cylinder engine. It is not the smoothest. I had a VW Jetta with a linkage stick and the difference is very noticeable. Even though the CR-V is a 4 cylinder the next time I would get an automatic.
