Minsan 9 Minsan 10.... hinahataw ko kasi e... pinapaabot ko ng 140-150... Minsan i go 160 easily pero natakot ako because of the warning alarm, the limit at 180, and of course you will definitely feel that it is a Small SUV traversing high speeds dangerously...

Yung 8km/liter yan ang nakukuha ko palagi from SM Fairview to Makati and back ha... so decent na yan for a 2-liter engine... Never experienced the 6km/liter horror of Jap mid-size sedans...

OKs! Been dreaming na rin kasi of maybe getting one for some time now. Looks like a real fun ride.

You use already synthethic or just regular oil with that km/li? Also, are your 3-drs manuals or matics?

3 dr Manual Sir. In Red & Blue. I just use regular oil basta change oil every 5,000 km. Saka pag gusto ko humarurot I make sure I fill-up with Velocity or Blaze... Though mas swabe ang Velocity parang sobra sa additives ang Blaze e... You will feel the difference from Unleaded vs. Velocity/Blaze kasi mas mabilis umabot ng 120 pag Vel/Blz...

Fun to drive??? Definitely!

Oks. Not bad ah. Lalo na siguro pag synthetic pa ang subukan.

Sarap talagang kumuha rin ng isang 3-dr. Hehe. Thanks, Mikmik.

Ganyan din gusto kong kunin nun pero yung 5 door kinapos nga lang sa budget.

Got a 3-door A/T RAV back in '97. It was the best car I ever owned. I had to sell it when my son was born. When I let go of it at 60,000 kms (took it out-of-town almost every weekend). It was still very smooth and had no defects whatsoever. Despite it's diminutive size, anyone who rode with me on it were very pleased with its comfort. At best I'd do 10-11 km/l on the highway. Regularly, 8 km/l in the city. It being full-time 4wd doesn't help the fuel economy, but the vehicle takes-off like a rocket from standstill and it handles close to a go-kart (a tall one that is...

).

Mine was red, just like mikmik316s avatar. I liked the sound of it "Red RAV!"

hi tsikoteers,

ask ko lang opinion nyo on whether i should opt to get my mom's rav4.

its a gen1, 3s-fe, 2.0, 4x4, a/t .

after searching the threads, hindi ko magauge kung ano average fuel consumption ng ibang people dito.

ano ba dapat expect ko as for its consumption?sa interior, suspension, braking, sold na ako, ang concern ko na lang is consumption and maintenance.

medyo no idea ako kasi avid diesel user ako.

thanks peeps!
