I have rented various makes of jeep in the DR on my many visits and will finally get around to buying my own in early June (at last!)
I am just doing a little research into the most economical models/makes. I have driven a RAV4, Grand Vitara & Honda CRV in the past and found the RAV4 to be the most juicy on gas, followed by the Grand Vitara, with the Honda being the most economical to run. Although I am wondering whether the RAV4 I rented had a problem as others have told me that they are known to be economical on gas??aranoid:
I appreciate that fuel efficiency depends on many factors incl age, engine size etc etc. and athough I don't know the exact engine sizes of those mentioned above I can tell you that they were all 3/4 yrs old and none were sports models (not sure how helpful that info is lol!)
Can anyone tell me which make of jeep they have found to be most economical from their own experience? (doesn't have to be any of those mentioned above)
I was swaying towards the Honda from my own personal experience however I just wanted to get some of your opinions.....seeing as I was only renting for short periods I have no idea about costs of parts etc if anything were to go wrong.
Think that just about covers it - thanks in advance
Looking to spend around $350-$400k pesos.
