If you drive sensibly the 4 should deliver better fuel mileage, and it will last just as long as the 6. refaller September 10, 2007, 11:38am 3. I have CRV with a four banger and AWD.
Four cylinders at highway speeds. Maintenance/Repairs. driving. burncycl January 13, 2008, 2:41pm 1. I have two small SUV’s- Hyundai Tuscon and Toyota Rav4, purchased in four cylinders for fuel economy. However, on long highway trips, I’m afraid that maintaining a speed of 75 mph might be detrimental to the engines (3000 rpm).
A 4-cylinder may have higher hp then a 6 cylinder…but ONLY because they are achieving it through higher RPM’s. If the 4-cylinder is on the border of being strong enough to move the SUV you might find it actually gets WORSE gas mileage then the c-cylinder. GM had this problem in the mid 80s with their S10/S15 SUV’s.
She wanted a mid size SUV to replace her 03 CR-V. Did a lot of looking, driving, and comparing before the purchase. Comparing smoothness of drive train, handling, ride, dollar value, resale value, and visibility out the back, she decided on the Rav4. I wanted the 6 because the CR-V's 4 cylinder was always a bit rough compared to my Pilot's V6.
Yes, but the battery in a 4 cylinder car is small and the alternator isn’t high capacity either. It seems the battery in the Electra is shorted out. Continuing to use the 4 cyl. car to jump the big Buick might not be good for the smaller car. Can you get a jump starter pak and use that or just get a new battery for the Electra at WalMart ...

Maintenance habits, driving habits, manufacture quality and environmental conditions are the factors that determine longevity, not the size of the engine. The 6 cylinder option ...
There are many factors at play here, some opposing. The 6 cyl has more weight, moving parts and friction. Gas engines are more efficient at medium loads vs light or very heavy loads, so the 4 cyl will be more efficient under light duty conditions. Insurance may be less for the 4 cyl.

SUVs are boring. General Discussion. oldnotdeadyet January 5, 2024, 9:58pm 1. I’m tired of the thousands of look-alike SUV’s out there. I don’t even want a hatchback. What I really want is a four-door sedan whose second-row seatbacks fold to make a flat floor extending into a trunk. A few times a year, I need the additional cargo space.
The 1996 Volvo 850 5 cyliner, normally aspirated, gasoline engine produces about the same amount of horsepower as the 1987 760 4 cylinder with a turbo. The 4 cylinder turbo engine gets slightly less highway mpg; both get about the same city mpg. The turbo lag is so small, it is a non-issue. Both engines have been trouble free.
