@@good_roads as someone who has owned an 00 Rav4 and now an 07 Rav4, I agree. They come as the most basic cars ever, but they quickly take on your personality and mold to the owner like one of those kits to made a dildo out of your own dick. They're fantastic cars, and range from the most pedestrian "I am an older lady and need something easy to get in and out of" cars on the road, to "I tank this thing through more camping trips, more expeditions through the mountains, and rip more muddy back roads than 95% of bro-dozers, while still dailying this pig 20-30 miles one way to go to work." And everything in-between. And it only takes one second to tell if it's a "rav4" or a "RAV-FOUR."

Toyota tech here. Want to make your new Toyota actually last longer than other brands? (because it definitely can) Make sure you do the regular scheduled maintenance. That's how these things last so long. The difference I've seen between 300k mile toyotas that have been maintained and haven't been is the difference between following decent (not even perfect) maintenance and any other car brand. I've seen 300k mile Carollas that had me fooled like they only had 100k. I've also seen them at 100k that weren't long for this world. Summary, they WILL last longer than even a Honda, but only if you maintain them.

This is what GM could've had if they made the second-gen Volt a powertrain option for the Equinox instead of its own car. Plug-in hybrids make sense for commuting, because you get enough range for a non-lethal commute, and for winter. (Electric heat murders EV range, but gas engines create motion as a byproduct of creating heat anyway so you get to be warm "for free". My Volt gets 120-140 MPGe on electric most of the time, but turn on the heat and that drops down to about the same economy it gets on gas.)
@me33332 жыл бұрын
That's a good idea, it's a shame they didn't do that because that might have made the POS Equinox actually worth buying.

I’m waiting for the 6th Gen. It will probably have more EV range and a smaller ICE. In addition it will probably grow a little bit into the perfect size SUV. The next Gen will probably have hybrid standard, prime option, and BEV option.

Toyota Prius. When that first came out in the states, it was it’s own cultural revolution. That’s when cars started becoming political, too. you had Hummer and the Prius representing different visions for the American car.

Yeah, the prius perfectly represents the slow descent of America into politicizing everything. Everything is left or right now, yet nothing really is.

Toyota still can't make batteries in the amount needed to field a significant number of EVs in their lineup. That is the only reason why they are pushing hybrids/PHEVs so hard. The moment they have a massive battery factory up and running, Toyota will suddenly have press releases for 6 new EVs and say "Gasoline? Why would you want to use that?"
@syxepop2 жыл бұрын
Toyota actually put already news for 7!!! new BEV's (the BZ or Beyond Zero line), the first of which, the BZ4x+, will be a "Rav4 BEV" (same footprint, but longer wheelbase on a skateboard-like platform). These won't be "Tesla fast", but will certainly be more efficient on battery juice. Toyota is already preparing (with Panasonic mostly) for that battery ramp up.

Rav 4's were very popular with residents of the Alps. But after the 2nd gen they became useless. No longer would they drive down a farm track or in deep snow. They don't need to be Jeep/Landrover/Bronco competitors, but a slighty lifted car won't cut it. A freind loved his 1st gen, drove it till the 3rd gen came out. Driving home from the dealership in his brand new 3rd gen he ripped off the oil pan and broke the transmission on the lane to get to his driveway! The dealership had a tough time retreving it! They were good enough to apologize and give him a full refund. (not bad for france). He bought a used Freelander (1st gen) which while being horribly unreliable didn't leave him stranded while he searched for a suitable replacement.....the nearest so far is the JImny (4th gen).
