If you get one, please post a picture of it. Thanks.geudens said:I only want toyota
I testdrive the RAV 4.3 V.I.P.(belgium)
it was the diesel 135 hp ,full option
I like it
Diesel here in Wisconsin is about .20/gallon more than reg unleaded. This kind of offsets the gas mileage advantage of a diesel. Unless you have other reasons to want it.purduealum91 said:I agree. The duals on the V6 would have been killer. So jealous we cant get diesels here.
That's not nearly the size of our Pilot. look how small the cargo area is.karrock said:OK, but the SantaFe is a larger vehicle -- it's been upsized to Honda Pilot proportions. If you don't mind the larger size and lower gas mileage, more power to you -- I don't consider the RAV and the SantaFe to be in the same size class.
I've mentioned before... it looks like more of a progression of the RAV4.1 more than anything (other than the first SantaFe).
I would agree. The difference in my personal opinion however, is that the Outlander actually looks good.. Much less "bubbly" than the 4.3.. If the 4.3 looked like the Outlander, I'd be trading in my 2005/4 cylinder on a 2006/6 cylinderDerek said:If you ask me, the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is an clone of the 4.3 RAV. :lol:
The SantaFe on Hyundai's standard website is the old model -- even if you look at the "All New SantaFe" website the dimensions aren't there, have to go to the Korean website.Dan Dahl said:That's not nearly the size of our Pilot. look how small the cargo area is.
A diesel is minimum 20% more economical, whereas .20/gallon is only 6.7% more if gas is $3/gallon. So the price differential does not offset the advantage of a diesel. You'd have to have $3.60 diesel against $3.00 gas before they match (even if we are pessimistic about the amount of the advantage).Dan Dahl said:Diesel here in Wisconsin is about .20/gallon more than reg unleaded.

Actually it's so retarded... in canada anyways. It was 20 cents a litre cheaper, but secertly recently because of "kyoto" there is a claim that diseal is more enivornmentally unfriendly (which isn't really true) anyways so they added another tax without the public really knowing.zaitcev said:A diesel is minimum 20% more economical, whereas .20/gallon is only 6.7% more if gas is $3/gallon.

i am not sure if tire below is more practical... reason it is on the hatch is because it is more accessible. It also makes it look like an suv, like it should.Stafford Meadow said:Toyota should have copied the rear hatch door design. No tire hanging off the back is the better way to go. My biggest beef with the RAV has always been the rear door operation and design.
