Just bought an '04 CRV- EX
the wife needed a new car to replace her Jetta, so we got an '04 CRV - EX in Silver. 52k
Im a long time honda owner/lover..
Ive had
86 prelude si
92 accord ex
00' prelude base
and now have a 87 prelude si
I know that the 04 crv has a timing chain, not a belt.. so that is good.
anything quirky or weird about the crv that I should know about? Anything you can share?
Thanks
Bones.

From a transmission reliability viewpoint, the CR-V is probably the best vehicle built by Honda to date. There are no chronic problems to speak of.
Good purchase :thumbup:

You will need to replace the oil in rear drive axle at about 60,000 mile or when it starts making a noise, manual I believe says 100,00 miles but my dealer says that you have to replace it at 60,000.
The 04 CR-V had A/C issues with the compressor's blowing up on them, mine did and my dealer said it would cost between $3000 & $3500 to fix A/C. Service manger told me after asking about issues
with the 04 a/c that Honda would not stand behind a/c problems. He also stated that if I had them to fix it he would send it in to see what Honda would do, I took it to my personal mechanic and he
replaced compressor, dryer, filter, etc. for a little under $500. My dealer wanted $77.50 to replace the cabin air filter, I replaced it for $14.95 + tax, took me about 5 mins. I now have 104,000 miles
on my 04 but I also have a ex dealer that I think over chargers
