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

Other than a new seatbelt reminder there are no significant changes for 2004.

Edmunds says

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

BEST CAR IVE EVER HAD

Monica, 12/23/2015

2004 Honda CR-V EX AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

I moved 6 times with this car. Drove all over Florida with it, and it never broke down once. 100k miles on it and I have yet to find a problem with it. The speaks were soooo good, everybody thought I had special speakers put in. 10/10

Great Car With Bad AC

brett758, 05/02/2015

2004 Honda CR-V EX AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Positives: Bought my 04' CRV with 175k miles on it. It now has 250k miles on it and other than putting new tires on it and having the breaks done I have not had a single issue! Not one! The gas mileage (manual transmission 26-27mpg)is pretty good for an SUV. The AWD system has worked well in the snow and I can feel the back wheels turn on when I let the clutch out. Quality interior that …

Lee Ann, 12/10/2015

2004 Honda CR-V EX AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

The best car I have ever owned!! My 2004 Honda CR-V just turned over 340,000 miles! The only real problem I had was the AC compressor which lasted until around 250,000 miles and I replaced for $1000! The tires last forever on this jewel! I am now looking for another Honda CR-V! I love, love, love this car! Wish I could buy another one just like it!

AC drags this guy down

timjsmith, 11/30/2011

2004 Honda CR-V LX Fwd 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

The AC unit in this SUV is the worst. Who cares if you can drive the car for 200,000 miles if every 50,000 you have to shell out 1500 bucks for a total rebuild of the AC unit. The dorks at Honda designed this this to fail, the compressor blows up right into the cooling radiator for the AC. This adds about 400 bucks to your repair total. Honda just settled a class action lawsuit about …
