  1.  @Jonesey-m3h  Going back to the 2006-2012 (XV40) styling to me was a mistake.

  2.  @keyner111  CHAdeMO is also the DC Fast charging standard in Japan.

  3. Lease offers on any Honda suck.

  4. If you are looking for a cheap 3rd row consider LEASING a Journey or a Tiguan. Rogue dumped the 3rd row (Family Package) in '18.

  5. That's why I said Lease.

  6.  @chrisblaise4473  It being a sedan plus it's extra lack of cargo space due to the battery sent buyers & lessors running and now it's cancelled. If you can get some serious coin off it does make sense to lease it. Then of course sell the lease during it's last month & pocket some money.

  7. ​ @afcgeo882  No you don't "own it", once the lease is funded you can sell it to a dealer. If you sell it to a dealer no sales tax is involved or a 3rd party inspection. If you owe 18K, Carmax, Carvanna, whoever offers you 20K you get a check for the difference. You have to do this on a weekday because whoever you are selling the lease to must have VERBAL confirmation of the payoff amount. The dealer you are selling the vehicle to pays off the vehicle. Log into your website to verify this after a few days. OR you can be a sheep & take your lease to the "lease trade in center" "lease headquarters" whatever derpy sign a dealer has up to sucker you to come in & get nothing for it and may get stuck paying for "damage" "wear & tear" "tires" etc. I pocketed a little over $2100 on a 2012 Pilot EX-L.

  8.  @afcgeo882  But does it work in the Kingdom of Zamunda? I never said "you own the vehicle". You don't unless you pay it off based on the remaining payoff amount & obtain the title. You can take it to a dealer and let them pay it off & you pocket the difference or pay the difference based on the 'payoff amount' and your offer from the dealer. You also DON'T want to do this after the lease it up.

  9. Toyota needs to go Hybrid on everything (should have a long time ago) but stay away from the Turbo's and these small displacement engines. CAFE / CARB isn't going away.

  10. The Elephant Head Dash.

  11. Most manufactures don't F up on rear seat legroom anymore. It's fine for little kids but they do tend to grow up and you end up having to dump the vehicle or hand it down.

  12. Hybrid yes, PHEV no. Finding a RAV4 Prime is easy especially when you see the price & manufacture (port) addons.

  13. I was looking at 2018's.  @KNRS927

  14. That power liftgate is an option except for the top trim. Months ago I thought GM was doing something shady with DC Fast charging, it was actually Level 2 charging.

  15.  @mikecarter2737  So you over temped the battery and due to its cooling design the BMS only choices are to either reduce power (when driving) or the charge rate or stop charging (when charging). Hopefully you are aware of Leaf Spy Pro to see what your batteries condition is.

  16.  @sayedengine  That tiny bit of fuel economy improvement and a slightly better 0-60 time.

  17. Toyota loves to load up the addons at the port before they hit the dealers.

  18.  @gn3ricc  Do a Google search of web & YouTube. Tons of complaints. Dealers generally only provide "software updates" to address customer complaints.

  19.  @stevendphoto  So whats the "fix"? Link? Even on 2019, 2020 reviews the comments are "it's better, but still...". If you expect software TCM updates to "fix" a ZF9 speed your kidding yourself.

  20. Two missed the joke. Which YouTube Channel is Hi-Bird from?

  21. Needs to be an actual midsize. Don't offer a 3rd row. Overpriced. Both engines are junk, especially the 2.4L. Any recalls yet? Oh if it has the knock sensor blah, blah, blah. I'd only offer this with whatever the Sorento Hybrid offers. On Limited offer an air suspension that will lower the vehicle based on a pre-determined setting to attract older buyers or buyers with disabilities. You are much better off with the Sorento & it's V6.

  22. No mention of the in-bed storage.

  23. The Caliber was forgettable & so is this.

  24. Only the LT makes sense.

  30. Leases are expensive on Mini Vans. I do agree it's an expensive gamble to buy.

  31. Better off with a Niro. 2020 gets far less uglier. No 2nd row issues & you don't have the stupid rear view bar. Resale on the Ioniq is meh.

  32. Nope, get a Civic or wait for the Corolla reboot.

  33. Wait until it comes off of lease, probably can get one in the 20's.

  37. 180 lb-ft is just the engine torque number. Toyota doesn't disclose the total torque output. Power output — front - 180 HP Torque — rear - 89 LB.-FT. Torque — front - 199 LB.FT. Power output — rear - 54 HP

  38.  @09FoxRider  Even without aftermarket goodies you are still looking at a lot more weight with a Tacoma / 4Runner over a Prius.

  39.  @Natethegreat200c  Coworker bought a Compass, first time it rained the headliner was soaked. Poor windshield seal. Looking at a 2020 Compass Carcomplaints would disagree with you. I've owned my fair share of Chrysler, Dodge, Daimler Dodge and none of these were "reliable". That 2.4L Tigershark is well known to have problems. That Aisin is a good Toyota transmission.

  40. Another bad ST review. The rental companies sell a decent trim for under 20K. Have 1-2 dealers check it out, have the intake / valves cleaned and have a oil catch can installed, dump it before 100K.

  41. EV is in limited markets.

  42. Lease only.

  43. Only direct injection on the KR15DDT engine.

  45.  @douglasadams8961  Year ago yes, now Alex is just has his same old script, a pointless scoring system, definitely doesn't try to offend the manufactures, doesn't bother with YouTube comments, gave up on AoA Live over 3 months ago, tried to shill for money, and they f'ing intro music. I just laugh when people ask Alex questions in the YouTube comments.

  46.  @jimjones9900  30K for a '23, 32K for a '24. MSRP pricing.

  47. Does Honda offer the "Sawzall Package" for the Pilot?

  48.  @Natethegreat200c  '97 Dakota, '98 Intrepid, '03 Dakota, '04 PT Cruiser GT, '06 Magnum. I have plenty of data.

  49. Those fogs are nasty looking. Go with a multi-directional LED design if you want to cover a wider area which I am assuming the current ugliness is for.

  50.  @titations973233  "Replace every 60,000 miles or 72 months" i'd replace the CVT Fluid every 30K.
