Which makes sense since it’s been in production since 2008

Isn’t maintenance always included in a lease?

DSG service interval is every 40k miles and it’s around $400 at a dealership or $150-200 if you DIY. Oil changes are $60-70. Pretty sure Volvo maintenance will cost you more.

I prefer Kayak Explore for a simple reason - the website actually works.

Wow. Even Legacy outsells Mazda 6...  it’s unbelievable nobody buys Mazda 6

That Lexus IS dashboard is their “old design language”. Pretty sure next gen IS will have an iPad style infotainment. Look up all-new Lexus models released in last two years - RX, NX, UX, ES - all have iPads glued on to the dashboard.

Unless you purchased some third party warranty program, Acura CPO warranty is 5y/62k miles bumper-to-bumper and 7y/100k powertrain.

Actually, the take rate on the V6 Rav4 is 0%, since they don’t make them for 6 years now

Forester gets 170hp from 2.5l engine, Rav4 gets 176hp from the same displacement.

Toyota hasn’t been offering CarPlay up until 2019 models:

They lifted the suspension but also lowered the roof line. Back seats have no headroom and the trunk is a joke - GLA offers 15cu ft vs 27cu ft you get in BMW X1

As a former 2003 Saab 9-5 Linear Wagon 2.3t owner: my example was fairly reliable until 150k miles, after that it turned into money pit. Between 150k and 163k(when i got rid of it) I had to replace: turbocharger, AC compressor, ignition cassette, fuel pump, motor\trans mounts. Parts are not that expensive and you can…

The crackiest pipe ever.

I had 2003 Saab 9-5 Wagon. Purchased in 2010, sold 4 years later after replacing all motor mounts, turbocharger, ignition cassette, fuel pump, suspension bushings, wheel bearings, AC compressor(twice) and more...

Last RAV-4 with V6 was 2012y model...

Dude’s got some serious issues:

G37 was renamed to Q40 in 2014(last production year), Q50 debuted the same year as the G37 successor.

There is no way all side windows would survive that crash.

Hyundai Pony, Hyundai Acc(id)ent, and Isuzu Amigo

The article says 286hp, not 268hp.
