2003 CR-V Review Summary & Specifications

With its expanded cargo and passenger volume and more mature styling, the latest Honda CR-V has graduated to less cute, more ute. In the process, it has not only caught up to its competition, but passed most of it.

Yes, a V6 would be nice, but it's not necessary, given the impressive torque output of the CR-V's Inline-4. Most importantly, Honda's reputation for quality and durability make the CR-V a top choice in the small-sport-ute field.
