Honda CR-V (RD) 2002-2006 Review

Automatic transmissions are problematic and must be serviced frequently to avoid problems. Differentials also need frequent oil changes.

Air conditioner compressors are a common failure item.

Many owners complian about high fuel consumption and road noise from some brands of tyres.

Engines are generally reliable and use a timing chain. Valve clearances require occasional adjustment.
