I reckon CJ would have something to say about that... I guess it'd be as scary as a prospective 406 owner reading this ear forum but after spending a couple of hours trawling through the RAV site they're beginning to sound like a bit of a disaster waiting to happen (most common seems to be these oxygen sensors, but there are DMF issues galore, EGR cleaning threads aplenty, broken road springs, broken drive shafts, leaking seals, duff dashes, gearbox ecu issues out the yin yan, quite a few blown engines )Welly wrote:"Jap cars are reliable"

Modem spotted a Hi and die Tucson in the supermarket car park earlier, so now I'm investermigatering these. The trouble is my mate's more-or-less told me not to buy anything LPG (I can't argue 'cos they'll be servicing it) and all the Tucson petrols are running on it.

I'm also looking at Shogun Pinin (designed by...) but there only seems to be SWB ones here (as pointless as a 2wd SUV). Oh, and Shoguns, sports and Pinins are all just "Pajero" here, which my mrs still finds quite amusing because in many Spanish-speaking parts of the world it means a man with a very small willy
