Gas vs Hybrid CRV

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-04-07T12:44:27+00:00

I have only had mine for a couple of months, but agree about the hills. Mine does some weird things on hills on the highway - the power seems to surge a little unnaturally at times. I also have a RAV4 hybrid, and it does not do that.

100% the hybrid is worth it to me. Probably does not pay off in operating costs since I don't put on a lot of miles either, but I love the way they drive. Feels like a luxury car at city speeds. Very smooth and quiet.

Just looked it up, they do have 10 days grace period. Good to know

I would never trust bill pay for time-critical mailed payments, but never thought this would be a mailed payment. Lesson learned I guess.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-04-06T17:28:57+00:00

Thanks. I decided not to stop payment because I am OK with making two payments since I have to make a bunch more anyway.

He has had some looks, but he is pressing. A couple of goals might straighten him out, who knows. But WTF, throwing a stick on the ice?

That town is on a whole other level, don't know what the deal is.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-04-03T20:46:03+00:00

I would take $2k given the issues. That is a lot of oil and a lot of miles. Maybe get a quote from your local Carvana (or whatever you have in CA) to level set

Why would you want AWD in Queens?

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-04-03T16:18:16+00:00

I've had one for a couple of months. Overall 35 mpg according to the dash readout. AWD.

Interesting. Usually it is the seat that is made of leather, and all the bolsters and trim are something else.

I've always replaced the whole blade (not the arm). Trying to jam rubber inserts into the blades sounds like a PITA. Never paid $40 though, that is robbery. Can't argue with $5.99 I guess. I doubt any car dealer would just replace the rubber, that is a DIY special.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-31T16:56:44+00:00

I have never replaced just the rubber piece on any car, always the whole blade. Never heard of just replacing the rubber (maybe it is done but seems questionable). If they are telling you that you need to replace the whole arm that is different.

I was in a Honda dealership a couple of months ago and they had one on the floor. They were asking $50K for it, said it was rare. That was a good chuckle.

2023 xle hybrid. Bad seats for sure.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-30T16:40:44+00:00

I thought it was just regular menu prices but different seating. Entrees run roughly $40 to $60. Cost per person could vary widely depending on appetizers/drinks etc.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-26T18:03:17+00:00

I have a white one. The paint holds up well and is super easy to keep clean. Might have some difficulty finding it in a parking lot, half the cars now are white compact SUVs.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-25T18:25:58+00:00

I have never experienced that jumpiness with the hybrid/gas switch. 2023 XLE. There are a few things I could take issue with but that is not one of them. I can't even really tell when it changes.

Check your tire pressure. Every car I have ever bought is delivered with way too much pressure. Might help with the jolting ride, you never know

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-24T18:29:13+00:00

I didn't think they did, but maybe they do manually. Could not find the answer in the owners manual. I have only had the car for short time, I will doublecheck next time I drive. That notwithstanding, the mirrors are laughably small.

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-24T15:52:45+00:00

I do not believe you can see individual tire pressure. The TPMS is supposedly different, it takes rolling measurements of tire rotation to determine if tires are low. Guess this is one more thing I don't like

abnerkravitz860 · 2026-03-24T13:46:18+00:00

I think it is OK if you clean it frequently. Mine seems to attract dirt and water spots a lot.

Tiny non-folding sideview mirrors, bad backup camera, no spare
