"Just the facts mam" 900 RPM for same power
I believe you omitted the word "higher" just after RPM ![Smiley :)](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/smiley.gif)
This sums it up on the motor:
My only complaint power-wise is that it makes its power high in the rev range, which is fine until you pack four adults inside, at which point you immediately notice how much harder the engine has to work to get the Equinox up to speed. As it is, this four-cylinder doesn’t seem to mind reaching for high revs, and it sounds decent when pressed, but the amount of engine noise that makes it inside reminds you that this is no luxury vehicle.
PPL, buy the V6.
"My only complaint power-wise is that it makes its power high in the rev range, which is fine until you pack four adults inside" ummm how is it with fewer than 4 adults - I believe 'fine' is the word used, right?
ahem.... from a review on this site of the Rav4 with 2.5:
"The only similarity to the old four-banger is a
lack of torque off idle; after all, torque is up just six pound-feet (compared to the 13-horsepower upgrade), and it still peaks at a relatively high 4,000 rpm."
Strange words to describe the 2.5 in the Rav4... possibly the rabbit hole we call the 'conspiracy' just got ALOT deeper!
