    I think people severely underestimate the capability of cross-overs. I have a 2008 FWD RAV4 and I spend quite a bit of time outdoors, and I've never gotten stuck or damaged anything off-road. Of course, if you want to drive up a mountain out west, a traditional 4x4 will be a better choice, but if you're a normal camper/hiker/hunter/fisherman/mountain-biker you'll be just fine in a RAV4.

      But if you rent cars, you can use them to travel, and you don't really care about their reliability since you're not responsible for repairs.

    I live in Pakistan and bought a JDM Toyota Harrier 2014 17k kilometers from Japan in 2015....it's a hybrid and does 60+km or 40+ miles to an American gallon.... not once, have I needed to go to an excellent mechanic like yourself......just maintainence stuff like oil and filter change.....I've owned nothing but Toyotas and just one Honda in the 50 years of car ownership....I entirely concur with your assessment of Japanese cars, specially Toyotas....

Is it in a good location? What about the oil filter ? is it a canister type or regular screw on. How easy is it to service and say change a lightbulb etc. You mentioned special tyres, How expensive are they? Does it have a transmission dipstick to check oil levels or do you need a computer etc. The usual things you would tell us to check for when purchasing a vehicle since we don't want to spend bad money.

    • @justaguyandhissilver4893
      @justaguyandhissilver4893 4 года назад +2

      @@ZupE891 I spent around 3 months researching vehicles before i made my decision. I spoke to mechanics, dealerships, parts store employees, friends/family, online reviews etc etc. The main thing i look for is the overall reliability, and cost of parts. EVERYONE i spoke to had the same input. The Toyota Rav4, and the Toyota Tucoma, etc, will keep running until you hate it lol. They all shared the same opinion on the AWD models. Unless you are driving on crazy terrain, or just beating the mess out of the vehicle on a regular basis, the AWD system should and will last the life of the vehicle. Toyota really does make solid reliable vehicles. The second part of my research was on parts, and cost. There are always parts you will need to replace, and you can choose regular or high end parts. This is a list of "current" costs should i need parts.
      Front Break pads - $21 - $41.
      Front rotors - $31 - $68.
      Rear Break pads - $30 - $55.
      Rear Rotors - $31 - $43.
      Tie Rod ends - $16 - $20.
      Starter - $89 - $120.
      Alternator - $75 - $125.
      Oil filter - $5 - $8.
      Complete Front Left Strut - $176.
      Complete Front Right strut. $176.
      Obviously you can find much more expensive high end parts, but im just quoting your standard replacement options. None of which break the bank if needed. Now if by some chance the transmission did go bad, i was lucky enough to get 3 years full coverage. They would replace it at no cost. If i were to buy a new transmission myself, it would be around $1000 to get one, which still isnt that bad for a 2019. I dont know if any of this info helps in anyway. For me, the results of all my research, convinced me that buying a toyota was the better option. Not to mention i not only live in a heavy snow area, but live right in the middle of a snow belt. Lake effect snow POUNDS my town every year. The AWD is a life savor for sure.
