Kia Sportage or Toyota Rav 4?

Redmal · 2014-07-17 21:20:22

Would appreciate advice on these two cars if anyone can help please? Just looking for something reliable, I haven't heard much about the Kia's so I'm not sure what to expect from them. Thanks in advance :) http://www.carzone.ie/search/Toyota/Rav4/2.0-D4D-/55414037137728740/advert?channel=CARS…

I'd have the Rav4 over that model Sportage because it is a nicer place to be. Sportage is just a rebadged Hyundai Tucson but they were never great. Just make sure the DMF on the Rav4 is not on it's way out as they can fail along with the Sportage/Tucson.

There's not much in it tbh, that model rav came out in 2000 and isn't that modern. The sportage will be more refined and better on diesel. The rav being full time 4wd is a nicer drive

Any 2.0 D-4D rav4 I've looked at has needed injectors or a flywheel or both.
