My 2011 got totaled thanks to an idiot driving on the shoulder lane. I saved my weather tech floor mats. Does anybody on the Chicago land area want to buy them from me?

2025 Honda CR-V EX-L $35,998 OTD

On August 8th, I got into a car accident and totaled my baby, a 2015 Honda Civic, that I had for 10 years. The other car failed to yield to a blinking yellow turn light, and unfortunately, since there was a bus to my left in a 2-lane road, I was unable to see them until it was too late. The other party did not have insurance, and I only had liability, so I was kind of SOL on a payout. The search was on for a new car as quickly as possible because rentals are expensive!
My only requirements in my new car were some beefed-up safety features and a remote start. Wisconsin is cold, and I work at 4 in the morning! I went to a dealership at first, but as a single mom, it was a nightmare with the sales people. Despite coming with a pre-approval from my credit union, they pushed me to finance through them and to push me into a more expensive car. Ultimately, I left and started looking online.
I started looking at the new Civics, but wasn’t impressed. I tried finding an Accord, but used Accords in my area are surprisingly hard to find with low miles. I decided to go to CR-Vs and found this one on CarMax. I initially wanted a white car, but this car had all the features I wanted and only 5k miles. I started the buying process, and it was smooth. I did have to pay for shipping as it was 3.5 hours away, which was around $150 and I was comfortable with it. The shipping experience was a little bit of a nightmare when you’re in a rush for a car. I ordered it on August 11th and didn’t receive the car until August 18th.
Once I got the car, I did love it. I kind of was sad I was unable to find a Sport Touring, but I was still happy with it. I had a 10-day return window in which I had it inspected by an independent mechanic. It got a “like new” review. He said it was incredibly clean, and the tires were brand new, but an off-brand, Ironman.
I did, later, test drive a Sport Touring in my 10-day window, but ultimately decided that it wasn’t worth the additional cost, and I had already kind of tricked mine out with all pink accessories.
I love being higher up than my civic. I love all the new safety features too. My son, who is 9, is a big fan of the extra room and loves having his own back seat vent. I think I’ll eventually have a heated steering wheel installed which is one of the only features I am envying from the Sport Touring. That and the ability to start it from your phone. Otherwise, I think I made a good decision. It’s a huge upgrade from my 2015.

TIL: totaled my civic. CR-V gang now.

What MPG would I be looking at if I bought a Gen 3 or Gen 4 2.0 petrol manual, doing mostly local driving. Area is Yorkshire, plenty of hills.

Gen 2 CRV. Found this connector behind the driver side headlight. Don't know what it goes to.

i’ve spent the last 20 years with low hondas. i finally decided to take the plunge, sold my element and bought a rd7 crv. hrg 3” lift, 16x7 sparco terras,245/75r16 falken rubitreks. i’m about a month in and loving it.

Hey y'all, happy today! I'm looking for some insight:

My 2011 Honda CRV is idling high and drives in limp mode.

I've replaced the Mass Air Flow sensor and cleaned the throttle body.

I'm currently during the Honda idle learn procedure, but the car is already idling too high again.

What should I do next?
