Just Bought A New Rav 4

[robNor]

Hi new member here!

Just bought a new XT-R diesel automatic should get in it in a couple of weeks,was looking at a petrol auto but delivery time was 16wks and the diesel should hold it's value better ( am I right?).I needed a car that wasn't too expensive and could cope with poor roads in bad winter weather,I've been driving an automatic for over 4 yrs now so didn't want to go back to a manual

Rob. Hi and welcome to the Forum. You are a lucky chap !! The XTR Auto is a fabulous car . My neighbour has one and I drove it a few months back and absolutely loved it !!!

If I were to replace My T180 that is the car I would be buying....

The Diesel is well worth the outlay especially if You do high mileage and will absolutely hold its residual value far better than a petrol equivalent can do ..

Wee Charlie.

Any idea on real world mpg for the auto?

As long as it's better than 30 I'll be happy?

Seriously tho' Rob,I don't doubt that you will have a great set of wheels there.

Bet you can't wait!!

Peeps on here will be asking for a photie when you get it. OK?

Hi Guys

I have a 2009 59 reg 2.0 Valvematic (Petrol) Auto (CVT)

On a long run, my wife gets 41 mpg!

"Around the doors" I average 36.4 mpg.

The above figures include a very small amount of "Sport Button" use.

I hope this helps.
