Used Honda CR-V for Sale in Ottumwa, IA

After our first child was born, we needed a vehicle that would offer increased safety, interior room for passengers and hauling, good gas mileage, and look good all at the same time. The Honda CR-V answered all of our needs and more, with the smooth ride and interior sound quality at highway speeds. Plus, it has a pretty spunky four-cylinder engine that turns on the power when needed.

For the most part, the car works as expected. It gets decent mileage and does all the things a car should. As a backpacker, I drive on a lot of backroads to get to trailheads, and the car handles great on dirt/gravel roads. I bought the car at ~65,000 miles, and have driven it about 10k. I've had to take it into the shop for a few big things. At one point the O2 sensor was broken, leading to a very scary interstate experience, and it was a costly fix, but has since been great. Recently one of the brake pads got ground to nothing somehow while the others were in fine condition. So it's been a bit annoying having to keep working on the car, but when it works, it works. The seats are comfortable, the trunk is nice and spacious, and there's lots of handy compartments hidden around the vehicle. Overall, it's a great car. I just would have liked to not have to get as much work done on it. Maybe at lower miles it holds out better, but at 70k+, expect to be putting some money into repairs.
