I have a 2004 CRV-EX. Only has 174,000 miles on it and runs like new! I had to replace the a/c compressor and it needs shocks, but that's about it. Great car
Oh wow nice! Ride on!!
I just bought a 2005 CRV EX trim for $500 with 169,648 & still runs really good. Needs a tune up & shocks that’s it. Ac works really good & dries & response well for an automatic.😁
Danggg what a steal! I wish you luck with it!
3:42 Love the Mr. Regular impression lmao.

IM GLAD YOU NOTICED!! 😂😂
As a tall guy, I prefer a swing out tailgate. One less thing to hit my head on.
Also, you don’t have to swing it all the way out. You could swing it a foot or so, and get smaller items in/out pretty easily.
That makes sense LOL! Yeah I think it was just from the strut on this one being old haha
Love the reviews man, keep it up!
Thank you much! 🙏🏾 I totally will!
Mate! I am looking at a manual '06 CRV later today - thank you for uploading this!!
Ohh woww what a coincidence!! Im glad you found this haha! Let me know if you buy it!
The Baby GX 470
LOL right!
Man I wish Honda still made their diesel engines. That 1.6L and 2.2L inline-were amazing.
A diesel CRV here would be fantastic
We had a first gen growing up we didn’t know the table was in it until we got rid of it lol. Just found your channel yesterday and watched probably too many reviews 😂 keep up the good work!
I'm glad you found me! 😂 yeah the table is sick LOL
Great review! I would love to have one with 3 pedals! 2nd gen is the best looking CR-V IMO. Very desirable version here.
Thank you sir! Yeah these are the best!! 😂
I was looking at finding one of these in the 3rd generation. It’s hard to decide whether I want this or an xc70 haha. But I don’t even got car buying money yet 😝 nice video.
When life has sucked your soul, you buy a crv
LOL adulthood and kids 😭
@@BernonCars and retirees. Anything soulless like subaru wagons, rav4, and this.
I love this comment....😅 I am 54, troubled from anxiety, depression, and high blood pressure...so I definitely need one of this. Lolll
I have a 2024 CR-V hybrid and wish it had the spare wheel on the tailgate.
Comfortable, good mpg’s, decent tech ….i like it
Nice! The hybrid is great!!
My dad had the 1st gen CR-V, DX manual, I loved that thing. That also had the folding table in the back. As far as we know it’s still driving around the Big Island of Hawaii to this day.
Ohhh nice!! Haha that's cool Im sure it's still kicking 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 appreciate you watching! Yeah sometimes I help my friends sell their cars, and the videos certainly help! My friend Louis does detailing by trade so he cleans most of the stuff I film, but this one definitely could use a good cleaning too haha
Here in Poland we still have a lot of CRVs. I personally have black manual 2.0 Gas one! Great car and super comfy
Oh wow nice! That is excellent.
Still see them all the time.
Same!
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.
Nice, not bad. Yeah the 24's aren't bad either, just a totally different experience haha
This was my dream car for a while because of the rear hinged door
Yeah just like the old Passport! It's cool haha
@@BernonCars13:12 you could be another Tony the Tiger lol 😂.
@@Newussd227 LOLL grrrreaat!
I had the 98 forever and kept holding out for the stick version of this generation. They are in demand! I ended up getting a 2011 Hyundai Elantra touring. Same cargo space, just as light and stick shift! You should review it!
Nice!! Yeah the manual is very worth it!! I'd actually like to try out an Elantra Touring one day haha, I see them a lot!
@@BernonCarsJust give me the word and it's yours. Love your long form reviews
Here in the Philippines there was a 10-Seater variant.
Wowww I looked it up, that's wack
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.
Oh nice yeah O2 sensor whistle haha. Ohhh nice!!!
I love my gen2.5 .. only ever found two issues...1 the fuel tank range and mpg is terrible for a utility vehicle and 2 the rear floor isn't flat like the xtrail .. apart from that it's great . Your one there is missing front arm rests I couldn't have a car without them now.
The new pilot window design appears to be a homage to this 2nd gen crv.
My friend's father last month sold me their 06 CR-V for a whopping $10 because the starter went bad. Otherwise its immaculate inside, has a bit of hazy headlamps but that can be easily cleaned, and the rear cargo-door lock is broken. But it only has 95,000 miles on the odo. Barely broken in, lol.
Damn what a find!! Very nice!
I don't know Bern I think you should give the 1st gen manual a go! I think you'll love it...
I still have to drive one of those!
My dad passed away at 74 and left his 2nd gen crv. I never loved a car like i did now.
it is true utility vehicle for normal people which don't need a truck every day to day life. that e brake handle really threw me off when i saw it first time. later year of that 2nd gen has, heated front seats as well. I was looking for one, because it fits perfect commuter car with space and easy to replace audio. Audio stands at driver's eyesight perfectly. For automatic, the shift is at the steering column, so it definitely saves the room in the middle. between driver and passenger. like you mentioned, one bad thing is transmission. I wish automaker bring back old designs with new tech and improved system.
Yeah they are great! So easy to customize, good old Honda haha
My favorite fact about these are that some were built in England
Oh interesting!!
I want one of these so bad, but here in Minnesota every single one of them is rusted out.
Yeahhh the rust is killerrrr
they copied the light design from the gx470. i understand honda whated to make it fuel efficient but should have made some with v6
Haha right and they came out and nearly the same time 😆 a V6 in this would be a hoot!!
