My sister's auto Pinto back in '73 comes to mind. When it downshifted it would scream as the revs soared, but go no faster! It's a lot different today with much better designed 4 cylinder autos, and I know I couldn't out-shift my 6 speed auto in the V6 Outlander. I know I also prefer towing in an auto, so much easier in stop and go traffic. Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Aug 26, 2009 3:23 pm)

Replying to: piast (Aug 25, 2009 11:11 am) When making comparisons, we need to fairly compare the inline four cylinder versions of each vehicle.   ******************   According to Consumer Guide to Auto, the 2008 Mitsubishi I4 clocks in at 9.4 seconds from 0-60.   Link   And according to the test data from Motor Trend for the 2008 models, it appears the CR-V and RAV4s inline four engines perform pretty much on par with each other...with a slight edge to the CR-V's 0-60 in 9.2 seconds compared to RAV4's 0-60 in 9.5 seconds. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the report for the 2009 RAV4 I4 which has added horsepower up to 179 rpm, nor the 2009 CR-V report. I would say all the comparable I4s have similar acceleration.   2008 Toyota RAV4 I4   Link   TEST DATA Acceleration to mph 0-30 3.3 sec 0-40 4.8 0-50 7 0-60 9.5 0-70 12.2 0-80 16.5 Passing, 45-65 mph 5.0 sec Quarter mile 17.1 sec 81.5 mph Braking, 60-0 mph 123 ft Lateral acceleration 0.71 g (avg) MT figure eight 30.0 sec 0.52 g (avg) Top-gear revs 60 mph 2200 rpm   ************************************   2008 Honda CR-V I4   Link   TEST DATA Acceleration to mph 0-30 3.0 sec 0-40 4.6 0-50 6.7 0-60 9.2 0-70 12.2 0-80 16.6 Passing, 45-65 mph 4.8 sec Quarter mile 17.0 sec 81.1 mph Braking, 60-0 mph 134 ft Lateral acceleration 0.76 (avg) MT figure eight 28.8 sec 0.56 g (avg) Top-gear revs 60 mph 1900 rpm Replies to this message: comem47 (Aug 26, 2009 7:49 pm)

Replying to: dronestudios (Aug 26, 2009 6:20 pm) "When making comparisons, we need to fairly compare the inline four cylinder versions of each vehicle."   Normally yes, but in this case, No.   What started this conversation is a statement someone made about how their 2005 4 cylinder CRV with a stick would smoke any V6 CUV automatic.   It's truly apples to oranges, but there you have it.
