2003 Honda CR-V EX review from North America
"This is a great little car, well worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cruise control was improperly adjusted and when "resuming" speed, I felt like the car was being shot from a cannon. The dealer fixed it.
I have had two factory recall notices already.
General comments?
This is a great little mini SUV.
The all wheel drive is wonderful. I don't use it until I need it.
The back seat has the most room of all the mini SUV's I looked at before I bought the CR-V.
Everyone should check out the included picnic table!
I think the finishes could be better.
The shift lever was in an odd location, but one gets used to it.
The creative use of the brake lever placement was wonderful.
The room between the front seats, with the tray down, is very useful.
