#277 of 404 4 cylinders and hills by roj1 Sep 10, 2007 (11:42 pm)
I live in a city with a fairly flat terrain, but I may be moving to Seattle in the future. I am interested in the 4 cylinder Rav4, but I am concerned about how it would handle the hills of Seattle. Does anyone have any experience with 4 cylinder Rav4s and hills? Do you think I would have problems in Seattle if I purchase the 4 cylinder Rav4? I would appreciate any feedback, especially since I can't test the RAV4 on hills where I am living right now. Thanks. Replies to this message: dtown (Sep 11, 2007 2:02 am) roj1 (Sep 11, 2007 8:35 am)

Replying to: roj1 (Sep 10, 2007 11:42 pm) Im not sure that power from the 4 cylinder would be a problem, but I have read several reviews from owners that say the transmissions seem to search constantly for the right gear on hills. I got a 2007 V6 Rav, and it has never really had to search for the right gear when climbing hills. The fuel mileage is nearly the same as the 4 cylinder, but its upfront cost is about 2,000 more. I guess it just depends on what you want to spend. You might want to read the blogs in Rav4world.com/forums, and perhaps that could help you decide.

Replying to: lovembad (Aug 28, 2007 8:06 am) I took my vehicle to the Dealer but they couldn't find a problem with the radio. As I was driving back from the dealer the same thing occured. I believe the problem is the radio is not securely connected to the dashboard because I just pushed it in and it worked fine. Toyota will have to fix this.

Did anyone notice that RAV 4 starts very loud, comparing with Camry? Makes me feel this is not Toyota. Replies to this message: charliesoda (Sep 22, 2007 6:02 am) bankone (Sep 24, 2007 10:05 am) bankone (Sep 24, 2007 10:07 am)

Replying to: bankone (Sep 20, 2007 9:51 am) By any chance, are your sunglasses the polarizing type? Try tilting your head left or right while wearing the sunglasses and see whether that makes any difference.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: bankone (Sep 20, 2007 9:51 am) Hmmmm..   Looks as if there might be a market for "bi-focal" sunglasses, dark above, less dark below.
#286 of 404 Alloy Wheel corrosion by bankone Sep 20, 2007 (10:17 am)
I live in Canada. Can we still drive with the alloy wheels on in thw winter. Will they corrode with so much salt on the ground. I have a car bought in Louisian with alloy wheels. All wheels corroded in one winter. I am not sure whether this is a problem for cars made for the south.
