Car purchase has expanded from CRV to other models due to current honda turbo issue. Specifically some owners are reporting gas in the oil pan, to the tune of draining 7 quarts when doing an oil change.
Injectors are either leaking, or the thing is running so rich its washing down the cylinder walls.
Local dealers are denying any problems, but the turbo4's in china are currently under recall, and perhaps there is a ban from selling them right now, depending on what you read/believe online.
Drove the CX5 this weekend, sporty yes. Feels sort of like a cockpit when driving, similar to BMW X1/X3. Feels sort of claustrophobic to me. Dealer experience was less than wonderful.
I can see why people like them, but sporty/speedy and stiff suspension isn't really what I'm after right now. Looking for 7-10 year hold with reliability and resale, as well as safety and safety features.
Leaning pretty hard towards the 2019.
25 more hp, 8 speed instead of 6 speed auto, 1/2" better ground clearance, about 5mpg additional combined (estimated).
So here's the 2018 Rav4
vs the 2019 Rav4
Opinions?
