I purchased a Brand New Rav…
I purchased a Brand New Rav 4 in 2001. The reliability of the Rav is amazing. I've had it now for over 23 years, only 285,000 KM cause we have 3 vehicles. Original muffler, Original almost everything, only Fliud maintenances were done.
Spark pulgs were chamged at 200,000 KM's.
Other than the front power door locks, everything else still works like it did in 2001.
Only the front power door locks have to be done manually now.
The reliability of this compact suv is amazing. I have owned many other vehicles since 1990, But the Toyota Bannd is for me.
If your want reliability, buy in this order: Toyota, Honda, Suzuki.
Note; there might be a small chance a certain model of Toyota, or Honda let you down, but most models out performe all others Manufacturers.
If you want reliability stay away from Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Porsche, most German STATUS vehicles are disposable. Only for status and the rich. They can afford the expensive repairs and the steep depreation of the car.
I also personally know 2 automotive garage owners, They love the trouble making cars.
My next vehicle will be a Toyota again.
