Honda CR-V for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Highly versatile and roomy interior, stable handling, comfortable ride, high crash test scores.

Cons

Limited off-road ability.

What’s new

Fully revamped last year, the CR-V receives no significant changes for 2003.

Edmunds says

The longtime benchmark of the "soft roader" mini-SUV class. Drive it. You'll like it.

ELAINE LICARI, 04/03/2016

2003 Honda CR-V LX Fwd 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

I hate to sell this car after 13 years of great service. The only reason I am buying a new car is b/c the 2003 has 180,000 miles and I didn't want to push the luck I had for so long. When I went to buy another Honda CRV (stick with a winner), there was another car on the lot just like mine (except it had automatic transmission and mine was manual). It had 400,000 miles on it. I now …

LOVE!!! I dread the day I have to replace it

2003 Honda CR-V EX AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

This is the best car I have ever purchased!!!! I bought my 2003 Cr-V brand new and 9 years later have put 160,000 miles on it. I have had no major repair issues that are not associated with normal wear and tear. I did have to replace the A/C compressor, but only once and after 100,000 miles of use. I put mainly highway miles on it in New England with snow, ice, road salt, and a heavy …

Great Reliability and Safe Too

2003 Honda CR-V EX AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

This car was a fantastic buy for my family. After 140,000 miles and nothing more than oil changes, brakes and tires it was tragically destroyed in a pretty serious car accident. $15k in damage later and on one was seriously injured. Never had any issues with A/C... We liked this car so much, we found the exact same car and bought it with the insurance money.

3 yrs and counting...

2003 Honda CR-V EX AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Have had my CR-V for 3 years now, and it has generally been an excellent vehicle. It is used mostly for daily work commuting (about 25 miles round trip), in a hilly, city environment. Also used as 2nd vehicle to carry our 3 kids, and for carrying tailgating equipment (during football season... Roll Tide!).
