Thread: Hairdresser 4x4

I had a manual 1995 Rav4, on average did between 10 and 11 liter per 100km.
First gear was really low so never needed low range, I didn't do anything extreme offroad, but was a lot more than 99% or Rav4 will ever do.

Before that I was driving a diesel Suzuki Escudo (96 I think), the Rav4 felt like a Rolls Royce in comfort was a lot better ride and had similar fuel economy.
Saying that, the ride was pretty rubbish and had terrible road noise. I now have a 1998 diesel Landrover Discovery, which rides better, less road noise, a lot more comfortable, tows a million times better and uses less fuel.

The gear box on the Rav wasn't the best, but being so low in 1st was almost like a diesel in that didn't need any throttle to get going.
