The 2003 Honda CRV is a small SUV with plenty of room inside. For me, there is enough leg room and head room. You have plenty of windows all around to look for potential trouble when driving. The CRV has been free of defects and needs little repair outside of the normal day to day mechanical needs. The ride in 2003 CRV is what you would expect for a small SUV. Highway driving is smooth with little outside noise noticeable from the inside. One major dislike is the small gas tank. Hold approx. 12 gallons of gas. This is noticeable because the fuel economy is not the best. You get around 20 miles per gallon combined highway and around town driving. I find myself visiting the gas station twice a week. The CRV is a well-built and sturdy car. The standard sound system is very good too.

I have driven 15,000 miles. Smooth ride, even over road imperfections, cargo space with easy loading, no issues on electronic components, including stereo and navigation system, excellent fuel economy. Overall it's a good value for money and given mileage. When I drive in smoky areas, my high beams automatically come on.
