Used 2004 Honda CR-V LX AWD for Sale near Minneapolis, MN

The car is reliable and considered safe as it is a medium high car where i get a good view of the traffic. the performance is good and the engine have enough power for a car of this size.Japanese quality does not need any further comments as it is outstanding...

Excellent vehicle. Great for getting the family around yet nice on the highway. Lots of pep when you need it, but the engine is designed to run at too high an rpm at highway speeds. Fuel economy is okay, but not great. Have had no problems with this vehicle in the two plus years I have owned it. If you are looking for a vehicle to navigate safely in the winter, this is a good one. It has great traction with the AWD and you never feel out of control. All in all, I would rate this vehicle an 8 out of 10 and would definately recommend it.

Well, after 2 months of research and trolling the dealerships, the choice came down to Forester, Outlander, RAV4 or Honda CR-V. RAV4 - actually didn't test drive this one - I was very cramped behind the wheel with the seat fully back, and couldn't even fit in the back - too small. We were after something a bit bigger than a medium sedan/hatch, but not a serious off-roader truck like a Patrol, Paj, disco or ‘Cruiser. Needed something auto with AWD and good storage for size – something the missus would like to drive. Having driven all 3 of the above remaining medium SUV’s, came up with the following: All have similar engine size, and outputs. Mitsu the thirstiest, heaviest and least internal space for both drivers, passengers and cargo – would be fine for sub-6-footers with small kids, but not for us (I'm 6'5"/195cm) Subie – lovely driver, but narrow cabin and poor rear-seat space. Most “car-like” to drive and lovely smooth engine. Most torque. But kickdown from autobox poor. Honda – what can I say? Got into it and everything just felt “right” – highest, widest, roomiest and internally the best design, IMHO. Very zippy with the i-VTEC engine and more than enough grunt (in a car) for me. Handling is terrific and when I first drove in wet and greasy conditions, it never felt like getting out of shape (I did do some pretty heavy accelerating and braking to test engine, ‘box and brakes). Sweet and tight as a drum. Cargo area massive, compared with Forester and Outlander - rear seat space the best by far, and the way the rears fold down, then forward, means HY-UUUGE capacity for something this size. Best econ of the three as well. We all know about Honda and reliability as well now don’t we? This one, even though used, will still come with a Honda-backed 3yr warranty, and it’s a local car with full service history (by the dealer who sold it new). Peace of mind. The missus liked it best too, with the kicker that under the cargo-area carpet, and covering another recessed storage-well is a large flat piece of molded plastic, that when you lift out, realise is actually a folding picnic table! How smart is that? Plus, when I showed the missus how the rear seats folded down, then forward, her first comment was: “You could sleep in there! Let’s go camping!” w00t! After having driven both the Forester and CR-V together, it was her pick as well and I graciously got the thumbs up to go ahead with purchase. Happy chappy and they even took my 19yr old Saab as a trade, with a decent price.

The CR-V cabin is comfortable, the vehicle handles nicely, the cargo space is great, and the mileage is a pleasing 26 mpg on average (driving the speed limit). There is plenty of power for the vehicle size, and passing is not a problem. The 4WD makes getting in and out easy - no matter the weather conditions (normal driving, of course). Integrity wise, the vehicle has held up well, both the interior and exterior. Repairs have been mainly wear and tear and regular maintenance, with the exception of replacing the alternator at approximately 60,000 miles. The single complaint I have is the road noise, which is noted in just about every review you'll see on the CR-V.

Who wants mine?
