I currently drive a Nissan Frontier Pro 4x. It is ok in seat comfort. Cabin noise is mostly road noise and gets tiresome on long trips. I am starting to look for a replacement. I am considering a Rav4, Mazda CX50 with turbo, and the Subaru Outback with a turbo. Still hit and miss on being able to do any extended test drives.
I have searched and read the threads regarding cabin noise in the RAV4. Some say the RAV4engine is noisy under hard acceleration. Some have complained about wind noise. Not many have said they would never take it on a long trip.
So how is the RAV for long trips? Mainly curious about seat comfort and if the cabin is quiet enough for long driving hours.
I can put up with engine noise when the foot is in the throttle. My Nissan makes a bit of noise when the foot is in the gas, but quiet down when you let off.
The earlier threads really didn't give me the answers I was looking for.
