Beware of AC compressor - 2004 Honda CR-V
By ncgator - November 4 - 7:22 pmI have almost 110,000 miles and my AC compressor imploded. I was totally unaware that this was a known issue. Shame on Honda for not doing a recall for this. I called Honda and they denied any knowledge of problems. Pointed out that it was pretty well documented on the web, and asked him for the zone manager name and number. Within 15 minutes I had a call back and was told to bring it in for diagnosis and Honda paid for just over 50% of the repair. Still cost me $750 but at least they admitted there was a defect.

2004 Honda CRV - another problem - 2004 Honda CR-V
By SMH - October 19 - 11:47 amMy AC went out around 45000 miles, brakes 46000, check engine light now coming on at 60000 miles - the fix is over $300. Ive owned 4-5 Honda sedans and now this CRV. Ive never had this many problems with a Honda. Part of the AC was covered by warranty. Nothing else. Beware!

Great Value in a small SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
By Dawn Bernard - October 10 - 2:00 amGreat Vehicle! After getting my Honda accord up to 235,000 miles, it was time for an upgrade, and the CRV fit the bill perfectly. Drives like a car, but plenty of room for camping gear, and we love the way the rear seats fold down. Hondas quality and reliability show here, and we love the "real time" 4 wheel drive that kicks in only when you need it, great to drive in snow. Great mileage, but I wish the gas tank was bigger. All around great value..and "waiting list only" at the dealership!

fun suv - 2004 Honda CR-V
By top hat - October 10 - 2:00 amI have owned a few suvs and had a lot of fun with them all. they all had V8s and got bad gas mileage.They all did very good off road but i do not do 4 or 5 thousand miles off road driveing any more so the CRV is just what i need.

A Keeper - 2004 Honda CR-V
By DDP - October 6 - 4:04 pmBought brand new. Always follow recommended maintenance and have had zero problems. None at all, still going strong at 105k. Mileage has stayed between 25-28 mpg, very good interior room for its size. Drives nicely for a SUV. Original tires only lasted for 27k, but not the CR- Vs fault. Plan on putting a lot more miles on it.

Satisfied owner - 2004 Honda CR-V
By SamSim - September 30 - 10:00 amI wanted a tall car with ground clearance, not an SUV. Thats what a CRV is. 4WD actually works very well, I have driven on beach and poorly graded, muddy roads and performance was better than expected. Its effective because it kicks in so fast, you never slow down. Fuel economy is exactly what the sticker says, usually 1/2mpg better. Good 5-speed, perfect engine, very smooth. Not my last Honda.

Great AWD Vehicle - 2004 Honda CR-V
By JND - September 30 - 10:00 amOverall fit and finish is very good Traction great, 160HP engine very zippy great power when passing. Fun to drive. Busy steering, lots of road/wind noise. Front seats and arm rests not comfortable for people over 58". Front seat belts hard to engage with armrests down. Alpine 6 CD Stereo adequate but really have to crank it up to cover road noise. Rear seats surprisingly comfortable, split feature very convenient. Rear door opens to wrong side, bad for loading groceries from curb. Difficult to attach bike rack to rear with spare tire attached to carrier.
