As I watch this video my 2004 (built 11/03)crv has 310, 862 miles. I bought it with 235, 000 miles on it back in 2018. I drove it to Alaska from Michigan in 2019 and it is still kicking strong. It is my daily driver.

I bought my 2005 Honda CRV in 2016. I got lucky because the air compressor went out as I was driving off the Honda dealership lot after just purchasing it.. lol so Honda put me in a rental car and replaced the compressor. I love my Honda CRV . I’ve owned it for over 7 years now and the only thing I’ve had to replace is the battery and tires so far. I stay on top of all regular maintenance . My Honda has 163, 000 miles and is running strong!! I love watching CRV videos!! Yours are really great!! Keep making them

I had a 04 I purchased new. Sold it to a mail carrier at 410, 000 miles. Saw her a year later still driving it.

Bought my 2003 in 2020 at 186000 and 2 years later I Just hit 206000. Staying on top of the oil change and basic repairs has helped me keep this bad boy going😁 Good luck to anyone who buys one

I am driving an 03 my wife inherited recently. It is SO FUN to drive. 85kmiles mint condition. I sold my 2023 fully teched out hybrid. Never looking back, so fun rolling through the mountains.

I have the 2003 and love, love, love it! Wish the gas mileage was better but it's spacious, easy to drive and already have several people lined up wanting to buy it when I decide to sell. Since I haven't even reached 91, 000 miles I'm not sure that day will ever come!

I live in East Kazakhstan and I own the same version of CRV 2003 as yours. I would like to note that I drove it where other jeeps could not go. Snow and sand are no problem for her; she doesn’t drown in it at all.

The aftermarket has developed a piston type compressor as a replacement to the oem or oem replacement compressors. The oem are the scroll type which do tend to fail at about 100k miles. I replaced mine with the redesigned one and has been running great for over a year now. It also does require less refrigerant than the factory specs so watch out for signs of overcharging when you do the switch.

Just bought an 03 with 149k miles and never seen salt!
Can't wait for some adventures in it!

02 crv 303k miles all original well maintained still running flawlessly. Japanese imported 2.4

After 19 years of Northern New York winters my 03 CRV failed inspection due to a heavily rusted frame. Recently purchased a 2011 CRV from New Hampshire and got it undercoated, hoping it lasts ten years.

Bought my CRV in 2000, 385000 ks still going strong, love my CRV.

The air conditioning compressor can be replaced and installed on a Honda Stepwgn K SERIES. I did just that and forgot about the problems with the air conditioner. The only downside is the air conditioner pulley is a little larger, you will have to bend the aluminum tubes or make new ones. And you will have to take a slightly longer bypass belt

Gen3 here and I love mine. 172, 000 miles and not one problem like you said it’s a Honda with the k series nothing else to say. Awd system is amazing never been stuck yet.

Bought my 2004 CR-V new. After nearly 20 years and 340k miles it finally needed expensive engine work. Auto trans still going strong. I donated the car to charity to auction it off. It was like parting with an old friend. 😢

I have the same Burgundy 2003 CR-V with 140k miles and it runs great, I've never done any major work to it. Just brakes, tires, oil and flush the trans and dual pump fluid. But these suv's have lots of road noise and I would recommend the 2013-2014 for someone who wants a smoother quieter ride. Also the newer RAV4s are very nice - 2014-2020 are very smooth. My sons have owned them and were very good suv's.

[marcbaine]

Awesome review and I also have a second gen and they are comfortable and just keep going! I like the 4 speed auto trans a little better than the 2005-2006 models as it doesn't have the same tendency to whine. These are also great rigs to flat tow behind your RV.

Got my 06 in 2020 Dec. Daily driver, drive it every month or two 1, 500 mile road trip. Runs like a champ. Only thing is AC doesn't work. I had researched that this generation had AC problems, but did not care because where i live never gets over 65 F. Regular oil changes every 3, 000 miles. I actually got a 2nd gen because it doesn't have a timing belt, has a chain.

Just bought my 2004 CR-V 4 months ago with 110, 000 miles on it so watching this video is reassuring
