my cousin has one. great car. imo, OP should try to buy new or very low miles....unless very patient and find a car with a perfect history. if OP is really trying to get to 250k, you absolutely need to know that the first owner did not skimp on maintenance

imo, the battery option listed at ifixit dot com. not that they necessarily wiĺl be the best option, but they have a reputation to maintain and hopefully deal with a reputable supplier. i would not buy any Dell-brand battery from a random seller (unless very reputable) as you won't know how...

Nissan is what happens when a Japanese company gets run by a string of rando non-Japanese MBAs and forgets how to act like a Japanese company. Shame how far Infiniti fell over the last 20 years.

The reputation is that you want to keep the OCI short....but I literally know no one who owns a Ford-Lincoln (family, friends, neighbors, church peeps). Can you believe that?, lol!

yes. but Skyactiv has been out fot 10 years, and Mazda's system is so far much better than the domestics or Honda's. If cylinder deactivation is not for you, look to a Corolla or RAV 4 or Camry and avoid the small Ford Ecoboost engines, no matter the "deal"

CX5, non-turbo. The RAV4 "non-depreciation tax" is just too high. CX5's transmission fluid is relatively easy. No news of mass high-mileage Skyactiv failures...even though it uses cylinder deactivation RAV4 long-term reliability is only as good as the care given by its prior owners. IMO...

and since I'll get the "well aktuallie" treatment from someone, i'll spare them the hassle.. other costs to think about with the Toyota hybrid system (dunno about others): no alternator to change, longer brake pad life (assuming same pads), etc. and fewer trips to the pump per month. everyone...

driving only 7k miles a year, a hybrid makes no financial sense in most states...if you are strictly talking about payback period. she can do the math herself: insert gas $, miles, etc.

This is my other favorite Lexus commercial....1992 ES. Makes a buyer not care that the ES shares a platform w/a Camry.

Marketing/rebranding won't move the needle at Jag. I-Pace is a perfect example----looks too much like a wagon/hatchback for the majority of US shoppers, but too small impractical for wagon lovers/Subaru buyers.....and then unreasonably expensive when compared to a Tesla. Why did they even...

Smug, artsy-fartsy ad execs are not new.... i think this ran at the Super Bowl??? compare/contrast to Lexus ads from the exact same time..

part of Jag's US problem is that the Germans beat them at the leasing game as Deutschers have higher residuals. Worse post-lease quality/higher post-warranty costs than the Germans does not help Jaguar

(politics aside)......same problem as the Infiniti debut commercials from 1980-something. Advert agencies try to be too cute and impress art critics and their friends at MoMA instead of pushing the product. And marketing execs let them i am most offended by the new font and logo, lol. same...

When I was on the school run recently, there was a current generation Tahoe parked next to a mid-90's Oldsmobile 88. Holy cow...in hindsight cars were tiny in the "good ol' days". The roof of the 88 barely cleared the hood of the Tahoe. Time to go buy a Tahoe...

As someone who seriously looked at H-K products in the past----the stuff that I read on the internet say that short oil intervals would only make it less bad as there are structural issues w/the design of those older engines. However all the interesting stuff is in Korean, so if anyone is...

For "mass market," yes---in my opinion. The market can't support Camaro + Mustang + Challenger. And the high-end, no. Just as the Apple Watches haven't displaced the "inferior" Patek Phillipe, IWC, Rolex, etc.

And nearly every Walmart is open from 6AM to 11+ PM, 362-3 days of the year. My local Costcos are always understaffed during peak times in the customer service lines (main door and auto section).

I wonder if the CRV hybrid's braking system has some influence too.

sounds like what happened to this engine....Sorento, not a Sedona as stated in the description. lots of evidence to suggest that those H-K engines do not respond well to longer oil change intervals.

Recommend w/the usual disclaimers.... So far---4 years, 80,000 miles on a 2020 CRV with a 1.5L turbo. That CR-V replaced an owned-since-new 2009 CR-V with 299,000 miles (which got sold to our mechanic). Also had an owned-since-new 2004 Accord that lasted 18 years and 180,000 miles before...
