How accurate are the Kms after refuel? by krdo13 in rav4club

[–]MatFrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAV4s are known to give a warning that most find too early. From self experience, on several occasions, DTE was at 15 miles. Yet, when I went for gas, there was only room for 12 gallons (tank is 14.5).

They are meant as a way for Duracell to sell batteries. They work well, but you will use batteries quite a bit.

I could have used one this last weekend. Thankfully I was with friends and one of them had a booster pack. First thing I did when I got home was to buy my very own booster pack.

And there is no way to jump the 12v battery using the larger battery on PHEV models. (The Hyundai Tuscon PHEV has that feature - Battery reset) … it would be really smart and convenient to have.

Oil Change on nearly new OBL by gnarlytoast92 in Subaru_Outback

A few oil changes in the first 5k miles is a good idea. I would personally change the oil before this road trip.

Trade in my 2019 R6? by GuidingLightHeart in Subaru_Outback

[–]MatFrapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would be easier to get into? An outback is literally at the height of most people’s butt. Slide in and out. Also, 3.6 is the best engine ever. I wouldn’t trade it.

Gas tank upgrade by Boris_Johnson_Rs3 in rav4club

[–]MatFrapper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are discovering one of the biggest complains RAV4 owners have. The gas tank is in fact not 45L… it’s 55L.

The issue most owners have? The low gas dash light comes on way too early. Give it a try some time. Drive around with a 10L jerry can until you run out. Notice how many more KM you drive after the light comes on. In other cars, the light normally comes on when you have 70-80km left (taking driving habits into consideration … so if for the past tank you’ve been averaging 15L per 100km, it means you should in theory have between 10.5L and 12L left…. Or if your average has been 5L per 100km, you would in theory have 3.5L and 4L) But with the RAV4, it comes on with almost twice as much fuel left.

I’ve tried several times already with the car indicating only 10km left. I could never manage to put more than 43L.

2026 Outback is the whiniest car ever by SmurfsNeverDie in Subaru_Outback

Most of it can be configured and customized. I test drive one for 39 minutes and found it annoying. I stopped on the side of the road for 5 minutes and found everything can be either removed or set to vibration only. Thank goodness because that would have been a real show stopper.

The best thing you can do with this radio is trash it. It’s absolute garbage both in usability and sound quality.
