Toyota RAV4 Review: Assuming it's Reliable!

[@Tom-ej8bb]

\]U ALL miss the most important thing!!! Atkinson cycle with Direct AND PORT injection and NO TURBO!!!!!! Cmon educate people who like to keep vehicles for the long haul! My '05 accord is still running like new and the Rav 4 will do the same!

Absolutely! You make a great point! Atkinson cycle engines with direct and port injection, without turbochargers, can indeed contribute to long-term vehicle reliability. It's all about educating people on the importance of engine design for longevity. I will make a video for the new Accord soon, and we can all benefit if it's truly reliable. Looking forward to it!

I went from the Venza Hybrid to the Highlander 4 cylinder turbo. The turbo makes it so much better. On average, the turbos last 150,000 miles. The new Toyota turbos should last longer. Unlike many turbos, the engine does not have to be removed to replace the turbo. No turbo lag.

@@paulstein9258 It sounds like you had a smooth transition from the Venza Hybrid to the Highlander 4-cylinder turbo! That's great to hear that you're enjoying the turbo's performance and durability. Thanks for sharing your experience and insights about the longevity and convenience of replacing the turbo. It's valuable information for anyone considering a similar upgrade!

I wouldn’t say a “return on your investment” because you WILL take a loss….

Why?

[@bsamra1124]

Because every car loses value over time
