Apr 27, 2010 · I am comparing 2010 Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. I did test drive them but in different roads. 1. Any idea which one has less road noise from inside? 2. RAV4 advertises its AWD as on-demand all wheel drive which kicks in only when needed. EPA mpg estimates are same for both though.

Feb 17, 2020 · I’m considering getting a used (2017) Rav4. As I’ve had only regular cars, looking at the cargo area in the Rav4 how does one keep things that would normally stay in place in a trunk, or slide around only within the contained trunk, from sliding around and forward to the back of the front seats. As I need cargo space equivalent to my current Camry’s trunk, the second row of seats would ...

Jan 13, 2008 · I have two small SUV’s- Hyundai Tuscon and Toyota Rav4, purchased in four cylinders for fuel economy. However, on long highway trips, I’m afraid that maintaining a speed of 75 mph might be detrimental to the engines (3000 rpm). I’m FAR from the red, warning zone, but need I drive slower because of the small engines? Also, am I really saving money on the highway with a four cylinder ...

May 30, 2024 · Hello everyone. I hope all is doing well. So, I have a 2021 Toyota RAV4 which was bought new and when shopping for this particular vehicle I wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting one with CVT. I hate CVT so much. I’ve had nothing but problems with them. When I bought a Nissan Sentra years ago, the CVT transmission died at around 90k miles and cost me $7000 for a new one. When looking at ...
