I have a 2002 manual, what an underrated machine!.❤

I also bought a 2005 EX with a 5 speed manual as well just 2 weeks ago. I love it! It's a one owner car that has been meticulously maintained throughout its entire life, with just over 200k on the odometer, and best of all no rust! Something that as you commented on is extremely rare to find on a car that has spent its entire life in the northeast! I just got new headlight assemblies for my car as well and I'm also planning on adding fog lights. I installed a Bluetooth kit that I got from crutchfield and it also allows me to stream media through the radio and it syncs with the factory radio which is great. I'm also in the process of trying to obtain all the extra discontinued accessories for the XM radio which I like. Not easy or cheap to find parts for these cars but they are a blast to drive! Mine is red with a tan interior!

theyre so practical, regular maintenance on all fluids makes all the difference

I have an 04 5spd awd. Super clean, near mint body and interior with the exception of a few scratches. Bought it about a year ago at 139k, haven't put much miles on it since my last job was remote. Currently sitting at 144k. Solid motor and i was able to chirp 3rd gear with another person in the car. They even left the picnic table. Def an awesome car and the K series are literally the best 4 bangers you'll ever own.

Great video man! I’ve been looking for an 05-06 automatic myself. They’re so hard to find in good condition and a reasonable price right now.

Thank you for showing me your vehicle. I would really like to find one like this with a manual transmission. Honda's are the best!

Thanks for your very comprehensive and in depth review. Appreciate the fact that you actually took the time to not only go through all the neat and functional features this vehicle has to offer but you also had to take out the mats, cargo, cago covers and put them all back lol. I just picked up my 2006 CRV but, unfortunatley I got the 2.0L 4WD, 4 SPD Auto because that's what was available in South Africa. She's not exactly speedy or light on fuel but she's definitley got the space and capability I need right now. She was also a good buy, everything stock from the factory, rear cargo cover was there, no sunroof, no fogs but all minor hiccups. I'm also guilty of letting my phone fall through that damn side door cubby but my cousin said it could be useful for storing folders and suff so might need to give that a go. On the issues that I have currently is that the check engine light is going on even though the car is running perfectly fine and apparently it's a common issue on these models when the catalytic converter picks up dirt from lower quality fuels over a long period of time and those parameters then cause the sensor to read it as a fault. The first fix is to use fuel injector cleaner and change to a gas station that sells cleaner gas and maybe it will go away. The other way is to change the catalytic converter. I also experienced a lag in power which is also another common issue with age and that's supposedly caused by the exhaust gas recirculation valve which I'm not sure if is part of the same system as the catalytic converter because they are both exhaust related but yeah anyhow that's what I am dealing with right now.

Do not lift it. It will wear out the suspension components. Some a/t tires will be enough to get you through any rough or gravel roads.

I have the generation after yours (2009) and the back seats fold up exactly the same way. My generation didn’t come with the table. We have just shy of 190,000 miles. We bought it new and it’s been incredibly reliable, even more than our Toyota was.

You don’t suck at all. That was a great job, thorough!

i found a 2003 honda crv gen 2 with barely any rust on the underside. the only place it was the most was on top of the windshield that i now have fixed. Bought it in norway at a little over 1k$ at 255 000Km. had it now almost a year now. had to fix brakes on it so far and did some other maintenance that wans't too necessary at that moment. Engine does run fine and the engine oil has not yet turned black, only in an slightly darker orange colour.

I have a 2000 Honda CR-V EX AWD. Has just over 281K miles. The first and second generation CR-V's are the best. Other than my 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited, it is the best vehicle I've ever owned. You can't go wrong with Honda or Toyota.

I have a stick shift, 3rd generation EXL model, exactly like yours but mine is a 2007. I remapped it from 138 BHP to 200 BHP, so it's now incredibly fast, especially when you overtake using 3rd gear rev limit. It's hard to get rid if the car because it's practical, reliable and safe. I have been driving it for about 5 years now but I need to sort out the AC issue like you said, I think my compressor needs replacing. It's nice to see a like minded individual that shares my interest for the Honda CRV. I must say, Honda makes the best engines.

Outstanding review. I just purchased this exact model, same "Silver Moss Metallic" color. Found it in the SF Bay Area with 271k miles on it. Love the color because it changes throughout the day. Yours is in amazing condition. Thanks for the tour and test drive. I really appreciate it!! Edit: I purchased the "Solution Finish" that you recommend, and it works great. I'm looking forward to seeing how long it stays on.

I had 2005 honda CRV model still good running condition.❤

I’m looking at getting an older suv for camping and beach trips man I love the first and second gen crv. Granted my favorite suv is the rav4 2019-2023 love that style but the crv are pretty cool.

My favorite part is the tailgate swing sideways instead of up so I don't have to bang my head or worry about it falling down

Jeez!................super Clean car !................looks NEW!

Great car awesome condition

My aunt used to have an 04 5 speed and I’m going to look at an 04 5 speed with over 260k miles on it tomorrow and I’m probably going to replace the Volvo S80 T6 I have

You’re right those door handles look like the same one on the prelude tiny ass car. This is the best year and last manual transmission for crv so I wouldn’t get rid of this if I were you

My dad has a 2005 CRV EX Automatic. Mileage is low about 105K, but things are wearing out. Paint is fading, but no rust, headlights are all blurry and toothpaste polish won’t help. Steering wheel texture starting to flake off. It was not garage kept. Door locks can only be manually locked. AC still works fine and no issue with the compressor. Wonder if it could be restored and drive for longer. Engine is a little noisy but still drives well. Regular oil changes and routine maintenance were done. Wonder if he should keep it or trade it in?

I have this model and almost perfect just a tiny bit of rust and a couple loose plastic pieces but I am deciding if I should sell it but it’s such an awesome car to drive

Has to be the best review on KZfaq right ? What mpg are you getting ?

The picnic table has a release handle near the bumper. You don't need to pull from the center hole.

Nice! I have 06 manual as well. However, it's a fwd.

Thanks for the video! I'd love to get something like this.

Your CRV so handsome!!!

Quality review but camera position makes it hard to see some things lower down

That’s the one I want.

I have a 2004 5sp manual paid only $1500 with a little over 200,000 miles.

Great review!

Gen 2 CRV are the best Looking for 2005/6 with K24

Hi, been looking for an 06 manual, is this vehicle still available ????

Well done! Don’t suck at all

I'm assuming roof rack was removed. Liked the SE spare wheel cover. Just needs a rear wing now

Very Nice, What did you have to give for that 😀? I had one exactly like it, now my son has it. Put some weathertech window visors on it and a weathertech hood deflector.

There’s also a drawer under the front passenger seat.

Great car! The bar on the front, where can I find one? And is it hard to install? Thanks!

Beautiful V. How much picked it up For

Is shifting into 2nd gear a little notchy occasionally? Looked at an 05 manual the other day and 2nd gear was a little notchy, but not grinding. Couldn’t tell if it was a synchro issue, or if that’s just how the car shifts

im stuck between this gen crv or a third gen rav4

Would be nice to hear a video where you drive and do t talk the whole time. I just bought one and the cabin noise is loud, wanted to find out if yours sounds the same at around 50 mph. Meh

Erina good

I want to buy it

Did you buy this thing in Missouri and drive it to California?? Also where did you buy the OEM stuff? Like Ali Express?

I can't find a manual anywhere in the US.

What floor mats do you have? I recently bought a 2003 Crv manual and I’m looking for floor mats that fit the car

Can you send the link for led headlights and fog?

I have same but mine is 6 speed Manuel

Seems that the valves have to be adjusted

where in the heck did you find this diamond?

Have you experienced any ac issues?

What do you use for the bluetooth ?

Does it have alot of rust

I have an 2006 CRV automatic in excellent condition I tried to take it to Mexico but I can because my VIN starts with a letters just wandering if yours star with a number , for Mexican government it requires vehicle need be assembled in USA 🇺🇸 , mine it’s Japanese I know , can ask you if your vehicle VIN star with letter or number ?
