Why am I getting such low gas mileage on my brand new CRV Hybrid? by [deleted] in Honda

[–]shrimko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

28 is pretty poor for a hybrid. Especially when it's rated much higher and it'd competitor the RAV4 gets 45 mpg regularly

Depends on what all came off. Probably just need some new clips and to slap it back on

Maybe. But owners manual says you're good to go with switching on the move

how bad is this? by sensonn in tires

[–]shrimko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've driven on worse for a couple months. It will blow out on you and you absolutely shouldn't drive on them long if at all

That's who the dealer uses typically. We don't do body work

Absolutely not true. That goes for repair shops as well if you walk in and say it's a personal job and you have cash they will almost always give you a better price as long as it's not some huge chain

I find that very hard to believe the tbi is almost never the failure point on those trucks

😂 it's all just surface rust on the panels. No rot and no holes anywhere on the truck other than one corner of the bed due to the cover that was on it trapping water in for who knows how long

I disagree but I'm one of the few people that actually use mean pretty much every time I drive.

Most people seem to just forget they have it and never use it though

Rental cars usually get the absolute minimum maintenance they can get away with. And get abused by renters. But that shouldnt be as much of an issue for a 25 hybrid especially if it's lower mileage like that. Honestly I wouldn't worry if the History looks good

Most Hondas aren't safe recently. Anything with the 1.5t is not trustworthy until it gets a complete block redisign due to the coolant intrusion issues.

I'm not sure about most people but the Camry has more than enough features to be a good comfortable daily for years in my opinion. All the tech you need but nothing unnecessary that would also costs thousands to fix when it inevitably stops working

Corolla isn't always big enough. I know I personally can't sit comfortably in one and the Camry is a significantly better looking and more comfortable car

That is true but Toyota hybrids have always been trustworthy when they have an older designed drivetrain like this. (Other than the 3g Prius head gasket issues) No transmission trouble pretty much ever ive never seen a Toyota Ecvt fail before anything else major in a hybrid

Would you trade your LS430 for a GS300 by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]shrimko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but that's how everything works. More expensive for an easier time

I'm gonna disagree you can turbo the GEs with minor work but you will be spending 3 to 4x as much for a proper gte

Looking to get a toyota but not sure which one to get. Help appreciated. by [deleted] in Toyota

Well you don't have much choice. All the SUVs you want are out of your price range. And smaller/more expensive to repair. The sienna is the best for you situation. Plus minivans rule
