Hello guys just wanted to know Is Honda crv 2004 a good car?

In terms of maintenance and especially fuel consumption

Anyways,1998-2001 honda CR-V is a very reliable SUV, easy & cheap to maintain with low fuel consumption even when driving with A/C. It is very spacious & it has a bullet proof engine(even stronger than a Camry engine).
You can as well go for the 2003-2006 model if you can afford it. Very solid suspensions(legs don't pull), easy to mail and it moves like a jet even if it has a 4 cylinder engine.
Note that these models are not known for electrical issues even when abused by your local kazeems.
Enjoy!

LOL Kazeems destroyers of engines, first of their name.
Thank you brother, but what models do not have electrical issues? the 2003 - 2006 or 1998-2001.

The Honda CR-V is not known for having electrical issues but you must note that all cars are prone to electrical issues if abused by a quack electrician(including the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle). However, some cars can tolerate abuse while some can send you parking to your village the day a kazeem touches it. I can't speak for the 2003-2006 model but I once owned the 1999 model from 2015 to Nov 2018 until I sold it to upgrade. I must tell you that car is a work horse. I drove it without thermostat all through, a kazeem once bypassed the relay & connected my double fan directly to the battery yet I travelled with it from PH to Benin & back(with A/C) until my trusted electrician reverted It back to the relay.
The only times i visited a mechanic was for servicing & change of upper arm/shaft/b.joints. I never worked on that engine even though I was the 2nd naija user. The new owner uses thesame engine till date.
Damn! that car left me with so much memories. What I miss the most about that car is the A/C. It can literally freeze your fingers within 10mins even on fan speed 1.
