  CRV or Sorento?...CRV! - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Jason&Jenny - May 18 - 10:00 am

  We were torn between the CRV and a Kia Sorento. The KIA was much nicer on the inside with many more standard options and a more luxurious feel to it all for the same price. Although we finally went with the Honda pretty much based on the gas mileage factor and the Honda reputation for quality. Although the CRV has a much smaller engine because of the weight it had better acceleration than the KIA. Our biggest problem was the availability of the EX AT model in the color we wanted (waited a month through 3 dealerships). We got the Mojave mist with saddle interior and added wood grain (which looks GREAT), roof rack, fogs, splash guards and a cargo cover.

  Nice until A/C failed - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By JPettibone - May 13 - 10:49 am

  I really liked my CR/V until the last few years. 1st, the cabin materials did not wear well. 2nd, the gas mileage seemed to decline over time to the point that I could not get more than 275 miles out of a tank even with highway mileage. 3rd, we had reliability problems. Had a $600 transmission sensor repair last year, and then the A/C compressor imploded and destroyed the entire AC system a few weeks ago. The cost for that repair was quoted at $3800 by the dealer, and American Honda refused to help even though theyve helped other customers with this, but left us out to dry despite owing a 06 accord and doing all service for both at the dealer. Were done with Honda for a while.

  I love my CRV - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By cec1212 - May 13 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my CRV since August and I love it. I used to drive an Acura Integra and I was afraid I would not be able to drive the CRV. It the perfect SUV if you are used to driving a small car. It is so easy to handle and park. You cant go wrong with the CRV as Hondas are known for their high resale value. This SUV is great for the $.

  My first and last Honda - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Hondas no more - May 11 - 5:45 am

  This Honda is a lemon! Sensors failing, defective parts, high maintenance requirements (rear differential fluid often needs changed), defectively designed A/C system. I will never buy a Honda again. I had a Ford Ranger for 10 years and apart from routine maintenance never had to replace anything. Im going back to Ford.

  A/C compressor blew up at 55k miles - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Ed C - April 28 - 6:41 am

  A/C condenser blew up with 55k miles requiring a complete replacement of the entire A/C system costing $3500. Honda refused to pay for any of the repair costs although this is a common issue. Car had other minor quality defects with the window controls and control panel. I liked the way the car looked and handled but the overall quality for this model is way below what I would expect from any manufacturer.

  By Tom Rush4th - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I just picked up another CR-V EX..After this lousy winter I couldnt find a better vehicle combining all weather traction, fuel economy & good looks.. Reliability is tops..resale very high..If you are considering a small- mid SUV this is a no-brainer.. Tom R. Bedminster, NJ

  Air compressor blew up! - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By raks - April 5 - 3:15 am

  Shame on Honda! My a/c compressor blew up around 58000 miles. Since this was a known problem (read the reviews).. they replaced the parts but refused to pay for the service.. cost me about $500 not including rental car fees for the time it was in the shop and the $200 I spent at a private shop trying to diagnose the problem. (about $800 out of pocket total).

  Honda CR-V a Winner - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By tommyd - March 31 - 10:00 am

  I hunted for a fuel efficient vehicle for a 80 mile commute in Washington, DC. The CR-V fit the bill. Plenty of space and storage. Seats are firm but comfortable. Leg room and head room are superior. Fuel economy is excellent with 25.5 mpg for regular driving and 23.5 for running around. Plenty of zip for a four banger. Road noise is a tad loud, but I dont need a Lexus.

  Great Car! - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By NovaCRV - March 31 - 10:00 am

  I decided on the CRV over the Rav4 and I made the right decision. This is a great job and is especially great if you take a lot of road trips. Highway gas mileage is much better than around town.
