My dad purchased a 2003 CRV brand new when I was 10 years old. He passed away in 2008 and paid it off before he left this earth. My mom drove it but encountered issues along the way that were to expensive for us to repair so eventually we just let it sit around not being driven. Fast track to today, I pulled the engine out of it and did a full rebuild on it, it drives so smooth like a new car! I absolutely LOVE this car, 147k miles on the dash fully revived, and so blessed that my 19 month old son can enjoy it with me! I dedicated so much time and money into it I actually call it the most espensive 2nd gen on earth 😂 the sentimental value still tops that price❤ the plan is that it is going to stay in the family forever!

Things were just wearing out. It needed new brakes, and tie rods. I had it die at a gas station bay. Had it towed for repair found out needed a new starter. I still love that car.

I own a 2005 CRV manual transmission, bought it used a year ago with 230K miles off of FB Marketplace for $3200; red paint with brown interior. It now has approx 257K miles on. I've done a handful of minor maintenance work which is to be expected for the year: new brakes, rotors, tires, power steering pump that failed, catalytic converter, o2 sensor, front axel, replaced all the engine fluids, rear sway bar links, bushings, master clutch cylinder - now that I type all of that out, yes I've done some work to it. But, know what? I freaking love this car, so much fun to drive and very practical. If I could find another manual transmission 2nd gen out there with under 200K miles on it, I buy another one.

Only problem with his is that whistle you mentioned and broken AC. The whistling is common with 2nd/3rd gen CR-Vs, I believe it is due to a pinhole in the exhaust somewhere.

Thank you for this terrific review! I’ve owned my blue 2004 since new and, with some maintenance and occasional parts replacement, still runs great. A few thoughts and corrections: 1. The picnic table is standard issue from the factory and yes it’s a great surprise when you find it back there 2. The most significant mechanical changes to the refreshed Gen 2 (in my opinion) was the inclusion of a 5 speed automatic (up on extra gear from a 4 speed like mine) and side curtain airbags in the top trims for a major boost to safety 3. You get two (A and B) trip mileage calculators if you push the right side dash stalk by the speedo 4. In the automatic, the coin tray/ ashtray thing is a pop-out cup holder since the gear shift is up on the dash. It would definitely get in the way with the standard transmission.

I have an 06, red with beige interior all-wheel-drive EX automatic. One of my close friends from high school has an elderly father who I noticed kept it in his garage up in Philly since we were in high school. Going on 12 years now 😂 and I always noticed that rear end with the tire sticking out of the garage when they’d open it. He told me if I could get it out of the garage, I could have it. He’s a bit of a hoarder so it was an all day thing, but ended up plugging a jump box in it when I cleared everything out around it and saw it only had 60k miles 😮😮😮😮 this past 2 years I brought the thing close to brand new: new tires and brakes/rotes/lines, new suspension, did all the services etc. All new plastics on the exterior. Threw in an Prioneer Apple CarPlay screen too which turned out really nice. Couldn’t believe how many people walk up to me in the parking lots down here in Florida at the supermarkets and offer me money for it on the spot. I have a 2014 MX5 Miata, and Tacoma. All the same color combos, didn’t do that on purpose either 😂 But probably going to sell both of them and just hold onto this. Love it.

Ben, I am only 1/2 way through you CRV video, & now I like it better than my MDX. Thank you for your videos,... watched a bit more of your video. Noticing a bit of maybe stain on the arm rest, & wondered, if the rig was detailed, maybe a friend or detailer that would like to make a name for them selves "Ben's Detailers" would do the work, your video item would be as good as it could get, & your lender would be very happy, & more may be willing for you to show their older rig. Just a thought :-) Love your video reviews. When the CB-750 came out, Honda has always had a nice sound, & AWD, your tires will have some sound, they will grip what they can, mud, rain, snow... as safe as can be. You see the Nicest People on/ with a Honda. Thank you Ben :-) Just before you ended, I had a thought... What if... the cars, some, maybe not all, could be sold because of the detail & review. People could see a car type, & year, cleaned up, reviewed, & maybe even sold. I am sure that would be a very small % of the cars your review, as you would not want to be known as Ben, The Car Seller... But, a review could interest some to the rig they really should have, & if the owner really is not using the potential, why not get something that does. It would be really cool, if your video prompted a person to have you review their rig, & that led them to want another in your video. Just thinking, maybe...

I have always liked this generation and have seen a few manuals pop up here and there, but do to their rarity the manual is always overpriced. I recently rented a new 2024 CRV that was fully loaded for two weeks to drive cross country and back with my family. It was a wonderful vehicle when not in the mountains as the CVT does not have pre set selectable gears like other manufactures have, making the many steep grades difficult to navigate, but over all, when put into S it did okay. The overall gas millage was 28mpg but that was with going through multiple mountain passes there and back and at time around 90mph for hours.

The Pilot especially has that “whistle” that the CRV has. Plus I’m getting my uncles 2003 Pilot with around 278,000 miles on it.

I found an 05 where im at with 145K miles for $5,600 which to me is too much for a 19 year old car. I'm thinking $4,500 would be fair. What do u think? Is the dealers price a fair price or should i try to get them to lower it?

That's honestly a good price for one with those miles too! What trim?

Looked at a 2005 Honda CR-V LX today that the dealer wanted $8900 for. I'm sleeping on it, this video just happened to be recommended to me. Can't decide if the price is worth it. It legit looks like it never touched the road, despite having 138k miles. Pristine and looks brand new, can't find a scratch on the exterior or a bit of wear on the interior. Under the hood looks fresh out of the factory. I love it, but I can't decide if I should buy it.
@BernonCars3 ай бұрын
Interesting! That's honestly pretty expensive, especially considering its an LX! It would treat you well, but that's a bit steep in my book!
@jjjwwwwwwww3 ай бұрын
@@BernonCars It was a bit too steep, I ended up passing on it. It was the most immaculately kept used car I'd ever seen, but money is money. Going to keep an eye on the market, got a few months before my current car will fail inspection haha
