Toyota Rav 4 with 2000cc Engine strong enough?

Postby Borg » Wed Dec 24, 2008 3:58 pm

Hi, I just arrived from Holland a few days ago. Searching for a car, I found in Napier a Toyota RAV4 4 doors with a 2000cc petrol engine. Does anybody knows if this engine is strong enough for this heavy car?

I ask this because it looked like the car is for sell quite a long time.

rgds,
Peter

Borg, RAV 4's are fine. Strong & reliable. Some of the older ones are remarkably cheap now and offer good value for money.
Beware buying sight unseen though.
