My 2003 has an extra storage bin/drawer under the front passenger seat as well. Great car for the dogs, too.
Yes ! Certainly a handy bin to have ! A great little budget camper as well!
pls what is the color code of this
honda
@@divinepaschalelochukwu13 unfortunately, I have since sold it, and do not have the code. Good luck.
The color is “Mojave Mist Metallic” - it’s what I have. Nice color.
@@divinepaschalelochukwu13 The color code is found on the inside door jamb....mine is NH623M which is called Satin Siver Metallic.....AutoZone carries a paint pen to match this specific color code.
That picnic table is unbelievable, I've never seen anything like it on a car.
Not to mention, it’s pretty room for sleeping in the back of! It’s a great camping vehicle!
Just hit 210k miles in mine, running amazing
So basically, its just breaking in !
305,000 on ours. The weakest thing I've found on mine are the brake calipers.
That’s awesome. I love to hear Honda family’s over 100K, 200K. My 03 CRV is at 315k and still running great. All Hondas need is love and they will last forever 🤗
@@mariessamarie i also have a 2001 Honda Prelude 😃
I have an 04 CR-V LX with only 52,000! Absolutely love the thing ❤️
Wow! Hold onto that it is going to be worth a fortune!!
@@mikealarie00758,000mi and new rims/tires hehe
Mine is 2006. It's economical and fun to drive. I'm keeping mine stock. Great video!
Mine outlived my marriage! Haha they sure are reliable!
i've had my 2003 since 2015. It runs so good I can't sell it. Very strong motor and the smoothest transmission I've ever had. I do not tow it after reading all the manufacturer's warnings about damaging the transmission. I wish it was only 2wd.
Mine was flat towed for years without issue, but i guess you never know…
@@mikealarie007 According to my owners manual, it can be done if the procedures on pages 224 and 225 are followed. Several warnings about "severe transmission damage" are there also. I never like the idea of jeopardizing my drive train, so I stay away from doing it. Honda has a weird setup as in normal use the drive shaft to the rear wheels is always turning. The rear wheels are engaged at the differential when the front wheels are detected slipping. I almost removed the drive shaft one day, but decided not to as I could not find any reliable information on whether removing it would damage the differential somehow. I thought that the removing it might interfere with the internal lubrication of the differential.
You can remove the driveshaft with no problems. Bought mine used, the u joints and shaft were on back order for a couple months. Worked fine as a front drive. With the new one was installed, works fine as an all-wheel drive.
@@frankciccone8559 definitely. Where I live, the all-wheel-drive was essential and works really well.
I also have the 2003 CR-V but in USA there was no option for leather seating. The 2005-06 SE model offered leather seating but it wasn't the best quality leather used. Most get rips in them after 100k miles.
Leather or not , looks like its still going strong all these years later !
One of the best SUV segment of this...As an own of 2002 CRV 345k miles are covered , I am totally satisfied except fuel consumption
Great review! I just purchased an '05 EX model in "Silver Moss Metallic" with 5 speed manual transmission, AWD, and sunroof. Loving the silly thing!
I am so jealous that you got the manual transmission. That is a very rare thing to find where I am from.
I think you will love this vehicle !
@@mikealarie007 They are very rare in the US, also. Took me a while to find it.
I have a 05 manual,they are fun to ride....
Oh man im Jealous ! I just bought a manual Tacoma ! Stick shift for life !
@@mikealarie007 stick shift for life🙌
Great car! I recently bought an '05 EX in redondo red. Mine is a stick shift but it does have the same color interior! I love it!
That’s amazing! Congratulations on your purchase! Especially being a Manual! I recently sold mine and bought a manual Toyota Tacoma, and just love it!
@@mikealarie007 I work at the Toyota dealership as a matter of fact, and the Tacoma is basically the only truck SUV that you can buy these days with the manual transmission and that is definitely one of my favorite perks about those trucks
@@mikealarie007 this is a one owner car with a clean title with no accidents or title issues that has been meticulously maintained by the previous owner since it was purchased brand new back in 2005 it currently has approximately 204,000 miles on it, and best of all no rust. Something that is extremely rare to find in a car that has spent its entire lifetime up here in the northeastern region of the states.
@@mds2465 i went with a TRD Pro ! Love it
@@mds2465 just breaking it in !
I ruddy love these cars, thanks
There is a small compartment under the cruise and sunroof controls on the left. I keep a spare pair of sunglasses there.
So many storage options!
The mk 2 is all cool. If only the rear seats folded back further
and were removable without a spanner
and the fuel tank could have been relocated for better ground clearance.
I do own one and love it. But if only..
Absolutely- some valid points there!
You can store the spare under the picnic table, or an extra if you want. I've over 300,000 Ks on my 03 find perfect.
A well designed unit for sure with all the storage options!
Only a donut fits there
"hi5, namaste" amazing video buddy:-*
Thank you so much the vehicle deserves all the credit though🍻
Great car, i have an 06.
Lots of miles or not , these keep on going !
@@mikealarie007 181,000 miles, daily driver and drive 1500 round trip once a month. Drives like a champ, only problem is no AC.
@@chicali707 oddly enough , my AC is toast too haha !
Hard choice to make: Crv 2006 with 150.000 kilometers or 2008 crv with 113.000 kilometers? 2008 is 3.000 usd more expensive than 2006.
Nice crv. How’s the fuel mileage? My 03 does 28mpg on the highway but a miserable 18 on the city 😫
Pretty comparable, i sure wish there was an extra gear or 2 for overdrive!
"hi5 namaste" very nice video buddy:-*
Thank you my brother ! A great vehicle!
Did you know if you have broken wheel studs, it's a $500 job instead of $2 ?! Coz shop will only do it the proper way, wheel bearings $500 ?! Good on you Honda engineer.
Hmmmm I have never heard of such a thing? Maybe get a second opinion on that one?
Im going to look at a 03, the owner stats it has a issue with the blower/ac and the rear pw windows arent working. Some rust around the wheel wells, around 213k miles....I like the V6 power of ther SV's but gas isnt getting any cheaper. Any advice is always welcome.
If it was properly maintained, it should last you a long time. The question is how bad is the rust and how is the underneath?
The other major, deciding factor would be price point . Is the rust surface rust or is there actual deterioration?
If the price reflects the condition, I think you will be happy with it .
@mike alarie 007 thanks Mike, I had a 98, it was too underpowered. In the meantime, this one sold B4 I could see it. Thanks again.
Are you sure this is 2003? I don't think they had SE for that year.
How do u make the Bluetooth work I tried so many times
I have an aftermarket stereo in mine , it is not factory Bluetooth. Yours is probably a different model than mine…
Hi, wanna sell this beauty? Can’t find here in Spain
Thats too bad !
Child safety locks? My son just learned how to open the door whilst we were driving.. 😬
Hopefully you have found it ! I just recently sold my crv so i can’t confirm for you. Could another viewer help out on this matter?
@@mikealarie007 thankfully I was able to find it a few days ago! Thank you for replying =)
I don't know
Ugly car 😹😹
