‘We’ve been eyeing used Toyota RAV4s and have time to wait for a new car’
My partner and I live in rural Nova Scotia and drive 20,000 kilometres a year, mostly on highways. We drive a 2008 Honda Pilot that has served us well but it’s not going to last another two years.
We are looking for something reliable with four-wheel drive for the unpredictable winters here. We also want to prioritize fuel economy for back-and-forth trips to the city and the airport. We do not need a massive vehicle but prefer to be up a bit higher. We do regularly tote around a dog and might add kids to the mix, but the Pilot is still too big for us. We’ve only used the third row seats once.
We’ve been eyeing used Toyota RAV4s and have time to wait for a new car. Our budget is $40,000, ideally closer to $30,000.Mark Richardson: My neighbour drives a 2016 Pilot, which he bought after running his 2006 Pilot into the ground, with close to 500,000 kilometres on the clock. Mind you, that newer SUV had to have its entire engine replaced under warranty, but it now has 260,000 kilometres on it.At least it was under warranty. Since Spencer drives a Pilot, should we start with looking at another Honda, perhaps a smaller Passport?That would be my first choice. It’s one size smaller and doesn’t include a third row.
