I agree the regular 4runner is wishy washy on the road, but if you get one with kdss it will corner much flatter and since the kdss version gets stiffer shocks it won't have that horrible nose dive issue when braking.

I had a 2020 Honda CRV and it got totaled at no fault of my own. I have the 2023 Honda CRV now and I like the looks of it but I don't like the fact that they keep making the CRV bigger and bigger. If I want anything larger than a CRV, I would get the Pilot or Passport, no need to keep making the CRV larger and larger.

[@ECPP]

I agree everything is growing look at the A cord and Civic from 20 years back, pretty big contrast

[@DeflectionMode]

@@ECPP Exactly, I mean I'm having a hard time fitting this CRV in my garage already and I probably need to extend the driveway cement because when I back out or drive into the garage, it's going on the grass and makes a mess, specially when it's raining. 😂

[@dancarlton7973]

Here in the states I am noticing 2023 CR-Vs on the road. Looks like people are buying them. I counted 6 yesterday on a long trip.

[@sk-un5jq]

Are you nuts? Rear pax room and storage is a HUGE deal, esp with a family or Ubering part time. CRV, Accord, and Civic are sportier, more refined, roomier, and more fun to drive than RAV4, Camry, and Corolla.

[@santafepacifico-scaletrain6207]

It all depends on the transmission, I have a 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD with 412k ish. I regularly change the CVT fluid. I read the CVT doesn’t like heat or sudden acceleration. So I’m sure it helps I don’t accelerate heavily. My coworker owns a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD with 289k, as of last week. In her defense, she doesn’t leave Aquidneck Island in RI, and doesn’t go over 45MPH. Her Juke should last forever lmao

[@74tyty]

You just killing me with that GMC

[@themachine8009]

The CRV with the 1.5 L turbo, I’ll be shocked if it goes more than 140k. That engine is too little to sustain that turbo for 300k imo.

[@Hutchy86]

Yes also shocked he mentioned this one too. He always says things like ‘ small engine, turbochargers and cvt transmissions won’t last. This engine also has passed history of oil delusion problems 🤷‍♂️

[@nygiants4life93]

Earlier model hondas have built somewhat of a reputation from the 1.5T. the CRVS with oil dilution in colder climates and the accord 1.5T. But the civics with the 1.5T have seemed to stand the test of time. I’ve seen Civic si’s with 180k on them. Others with at least 150k. And somebody put 200k trouble free miles on a 2022 1.5T Civic over one year. Seems like the engine is great in the civics while other models I can’t really say.

[@richardli5530]

​@@nygiants4life93I doubt a 1.5T CRV with oil dilution would last at all. I sold my 2019 in a year ago.

Honda is stretching it a bit turbo charging a little 1.5 liter. They just cannot handle the pressure.

I have owned since 2005 all Toyota's ,2007 Tundra,2014Tundra, 2011 Venza, 2021 Highlander, I have only had problems with the 2007 the air injection valve went when I was 2500 miles away from home!

I will only buy Toyota products from now on even my wife corolla is reliable and the seats are comfortable, my back never gets sore no matter what toyota I ride in!

[@Johnrap]

My Kia Borrrego did 14 years with only one issue. I broke one of the wheel bearings by loading 2,000 lbs of tiles in the back and driving it cross town. That was about year 12. Other than that, no issues. I'm sure it still works for whoever owns it now. But I traded it in last month to get a 2024 4Runner, as it seems this is the last year to get a new 5th Gen 4Runner.

[@ECPP]

Well actually….watch an upcoming video

[@udmbfckx2916]

In addition: 1) MDX more affordable derivatives: Honda Pilot and Passport. Their V6 and auto trannies will last 15 - 20 years if properly maintained. PERIOD! 2) Any V8 from GM has the crappy cylinder deactivation which MUST be deactivated to ensure engine longevity, which, in theory could last to 300K mi. I cannot say the same thing about the 10-speed from Fordlet or Che'Ford. 3) Sorry but the fun to drive Honda CR-V has a TURBO and a CVT....At least one of those two items will not make it to 300K miles. The BASIC Toyota RAV4, a boring vehicle to drive for sure and not as cool looking has a large, normally aspirated 4 cylinder and 8-speed automatic transmission. Guess which one will last longer without any major problems?

[@myk1_sp]

Honda also has the crappy cylinder deactivation technology called VCM on their V6 engines, so it would be a good idea to disable or delete it if you keep it for over 5-10 years.

Agree the pilot should be on the list. But I think the previous gen with the odyssey didnt have the best transmission.
