Most dependable & mechanically sound car on the road

I own a 2004 Honda CRV which turns 17 yrs. old shortly. I have not bought a newer model because this car is still going strong with only a few minor repairs needed over the years. It is incredibly mechanically sound and exceptionally reliable. Since it is an older model it does not have all the new "bells & whistles" but there is not one new feature that can compare to having a car of this quality and low maintenance. I had another Honda CRV before this one and it too was a winner.

Reliable Automobile

Great car for commuters, running around town, poor road conditions and reliability. Has ample power and handles very well. The downside: a bit uncomfortable for long haul, outside noise and interior fit-finish is not what it should have been.

Best car

Almost 160k and it still runs great. Probably the best purchase I ever made. Still no rattles. Runs super-smooth. Stereo is good. My only criticism is that the driver’s seat is not supportive enough. Hoping it reaches its 20th birthday!

Reliable with plenty of space

CRV is a reliable performer, starts up every time and is fun to drive. Not much you cannot fit into the big trunk. Gas mileage is less than expected but still excellent. High space above ground - clearance means I can take this off road and it is great on Jeep trails.

Good quality

Dependable vehicle for what we paid for it. Worth putting some more into it to make it an even more Dependable. Honda has always had a great reputation. I don't think that we will be thinking of getting rid of it any time soon.

Very reliable and dependable car.

I bought my Honda CRV new. It is 19 years old now and I have never had any major repairs other than maintenance. I have complete confidence in this vehicle. But I have always taken good care of it. I really got my money's worth with this SUV.

Most reliable car ever!

My 2004 Honda CRV is the best car I have ever owned in my 60 years of driving. This car is extremely reliable. In the almost 20 years I have owned it I have had a limited amount of needed repairs. At 19 years old this past year I needed to replace some part of the rear brake system and my mechanic said it was an original factory part. It may not have all the modern "bells & whistles" of new cars but living alone, its reliability is more valuable to me. I've been asked by my mechanic that if I ever want to sell it that I give him the option to buy it first. It is an incredible car. Low maintenance.

Plenty of room, economic and highly durable

At 19 years old my CRV runs like new and has a gentle 94k miles. This auto is my hunting, fishing, bicycling and general transport car. Put on my own roof rack and the kayak and canoe fit fine on the roof. Minimal repairs needed and tested city and off road tough. CRV is light in weight so on wet roads you may spin the front wheels when there is a quick start. Super reliable.

This Cr-V EX is a great performer.

As any Honda vehicle this gem has great performance with a 2.4 liter engine even if it is slightly heavier than an Accord with same engine. Because it is slightly older it outperforms newer more gas conscious models with same engine specs. Pick up is good, can handle hills effortlessly. This has diminished somewhat in the newer Honda models across the board. EX trim also outshines newer EX trims on current Hondas (Accords and Civics).

Honda's are durable.

I love my little 2004 Honda CR-V. Had they not changed the style of it including the rear door opening, I would have bought a newer model along the way, but they didn't, and this car has everything I need. Most of my driving is around town so I don't get great mileage, but it's not worth me getting another car for. I bought it brand new and it's only got 66,000+ miles and it still looks and runs good.

2004 Honda CRV EX

Our CRV has met all the needs we have including even using it somewhat like a truck at times for hauling things-great capacity for such a small mid-size Suv. It has always performed well in snow and ice, and since moving from the West to Winthrop and adding studded tires, it has performed very well here and when driving to, over, and away from the mountain passes to the West.

2004 Honda CRV

My little CRV has been a very dependable car. It is very maneuverable and has a tight turning radius. It seats 4 adults comfortably and has a nice amount of cargo capacity in the back for luggage or groceries. It has great visibility and is a nice height off the ground for getting in and out easily. We bought it 4 years old and it now has 170K on it at 13 years. If you do the maintenance these Hondas last and last. Only issue with this car is the AC. The compressor and condensor have been replaced twice in 13 years.

CRV Evaluation

M y CRV is a 2004 model with a number of items I have wished, which have been corrected in later models, were better or should have been included as standard equipment. Otherwise, the car has performed very well except the MPG is lower than advertised and expected. Oversized tires have made a world of difference in ride feel, cornering and mileage performance.

Honda 2004

My only problem is not the best gas mileage and with AWD make sure you buy 5 tires to have the correct tred. I love my Honda. I drives nice and you are higher up to see and get in and out of. I can put a recliner in the back and you can't do that with a Ford Blazer as I had to do this for a friend. I would buy another and my niece got a new one 2016.

A Great all around Vehicle

Have had this little car since purchasing from the dealer. We have owned numerous automobiles over the years but this one out shines the others! It just keeps running, requiring only basic maintenance. From extended trips all over New Mexico in ALL types of weather and road conditions, to urban commuting, reliability and mileage has always been consistent. Hopefully newer models have improved on sound systems, smoothness in ride and other minor glitches. On the flip side, we have had several offers to buy this gem.

Reliable with plenty of space

Starts up every time and very low maintenance. Is a bit underpowered but fine overall. Interior is comfortable but a bit noisy. Car is nimble on the road, has good visibility and can haul most all household items. Very pleased.

Very good and reliable car with, of course, regular oil changes and check ups!

I’ve had my Honda CRV 2004 since 2010 and it has been a reliable car as long as I kept up oil changes and check ups. Of course various things have had to be replaced, such as the starter motor, the radiator, etc. But that is normal for a 18 year old car with 220,000 miles!

The locks

Two of my locks has broken and fixed for $200.00. the other two are on the way for fixing! I'm told by the locksmith that fixed them that Honda uses cheep crapy locks in all their cars for the past several years.....and they know they're bad! I've NEVER had this problem in any other car. I'm 67 and been driving since I was 14. I wish I could get my old Dodge Caravan back. It was the best car I've ever had. It had 268K miles on it and was still running when I got my Honda CRV. I can't imagine how much a dealer would charge to fix them, and it only has 130k miles on it. My advice.....stay away from Honda's unless you want to waste $ on it.
