Most unreliable car I've owned was a Mini Metro, a "British" fitted with lots of European parts, French glass, German callipers, it was the next to last car that broke down and needed a call out. Got rid at 2.5 years at a time when I had lots of debt and really didn't want too, it was that...

I have no complaints other do, having said that I wouldn't be able to drive more than 2.5 hours with out a rest, back starts to object after that.

I mentioned AM because he posted at length his modifications, and reasons why, and he also lives in the UK, the home of the survey.

The batteries have more plates closer together, and can be topped up, in fact I keep meaning to check mine. Stater motor is also designed to cope with more operations.

My battery isn't AGM, but its not cheap for the OE one. https://www.thebatteryshop.co.uk/yuasa-12v-80ah-780a-efb-start-stop-battery-ybx7335-t110-8949-p.asp

Old Rav4 isn't well thought of by the UK car mags, and our offerings give poor power and performance, but I'll look at the Rav4 again when we get the new version, I have a local dealer so it would be more convenient. However the worst handling car I've ever owned was the only Toyota I ever had...

Last dealer that washed my engine later had to replace the ECU. Idiots. I should say it was a Primera bought at 10 months old. But still with two years warranty.

Have you checked for oil in the diff? Or been running through flood water?

I didn't part take in any survey, but I found zero difference with the 2017 car comfort and my 2015 car, or my 2013 one. But it seems strange that suddenly the CX-5 has become the most comfortable car, given that "Anchorman" has gone to great trouble to modify the seat?? So obviously not the...

I expect a detailed report from you regaurding the performance of the updated engine, and the fuel economy. (boom02)

Why its speed limited so of limited value and not suitable on most roads.

Is that faster than a Tesla?

I had lock on both xtrails I had, over the 9 years I drove them I probably used it twice, not because I needed to just that I thought it worth checking it still worked. Mine was left in auto permanently and not once did I ever encounter an issue, so in the real world a lock switch isn't surplus...

There you go mentioning money again, is it me or do you contradict what you previously said. "less about the money" "rav will save enough money"

If its all about money why are you wasting it buying an SUV or what ever you want to call it, there sold at a premium.

Thanks.

Not really my 1.8T audi in 1999 had 180bhp with 177 pound feet from 1950 to 4500 rpm, plenty quick enough for the kerb weight under 1500kg from memory. But a CX-5 in top trim in the UK is now 1746kg, no light weight and needs the new diesel 190ps 450nm engine, not yet here in the UK. My first...

Is the survey for cars made this year, ie the updated car? If so I can't see how its worth even reading as its only May.

Sounds like the original owner got rid due to the problems, my advice is to get rid. And buy new.

Ride height is 32mm lower than the old model, just saying.
