| My point wasn't about being a fan or liking a car or not as that's something totally different, my point/question was about the reliability of their reviews/rankings. Honda or Toyota having good quality is not my personal opinion, they have proven and showed their quality over the years. But I just think calling their tests to be scientific is way too much and it's a very questionable review just like those from JD Power. | |||||

| As everyone else said websites like Consumer reports or Jd powers etc. don't give accurate mechanical reviews; they are either based off of how much the manufacturer paid them for a review or Consumer surveys which I don't think anyone would want to admit to their mistake in a purchase (or satisfaction within first 6 months or first year of purchase isn't a good metric). NHSTA has list of complaints, recalls, and open investigations for different vehicles. You can search within this forum to see if anyone has asked about the same car as you are wanting to k ... | |||||

| ... of performance will be disabled in the software. The reason for this, is that the product costs the companies relatively little to manufacture. It's actually cheaper for the company to produce one kind of PCB and put it in all of them, then it is to make a customize design for each one (economy of scale). What the company spends money on most, is the R&D. The Consumer feels cheated, because they can't use something they already have. But the company needs to recover their costs somehow to stay afloat. It's counter-intuitive, but it's actually better f ... | |||||

| Well, that settles it! I am going out tomorrow to trade my 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS and my wife's 2013 Honda Accord Touring V6 (both of which are in excellent condition, by the way) and gets me and her a brand spankin' new Sentra and Rouge. Although this definition of 'Rouge' from the Oxford English Dictionary does concern me a bit: 😕 a person or thing that behaves in an aberrant, faulty, or unpredictable way. "he hacked into data and ran rogue programs" an inferior or defective specimen among many satisfactory ones, especially a seedling or plant deviating from the standard variety. | |||||

| That paragraph refers to the Kappas predecessor, the Gamma. I perviously had a Gamma back in the day (that was built in China) and it was alright - they typically last about 150k miles before you’d have to do anything major (if serviced properly), Russians like to change timing chains early but I don’t think it’s worth doing. - The Kappa (shares it’s engine block with the Gamma but) has hydraulic tappets and a pretty advanced timing system. Oil consumption is an issue if you follow the recommended ~9k mile interval (15k km), but I’m planing to do it every 4.6k miles (7.5k km) as I’ve always been doing on all my cars… - The only thing I don’t like about the intake on that engine is variable intake geometry - I’d rather it be a simple non-variable geometry intake. But I actually like it way more than what’s under the hood of the Yaris Cross - it’s also plastic but huge and looks like it’d cost an arm and a leg to replace once it eventually cracks. - Yeah the Kappa ain’t the smoothest engine, it wasn’t a good fit for bigger cars (by euro standards, such as the ~2015 i30CW). but on a small car, it feels like a perfect fit although it’s slightly underpowered. and it although it’s a bit noisy it’s not nearly as loud as a Yaris Cross’ 3 cyl., that car surprised me because on my ‘09 Rolla I can’t even hear the engine going 70mph but on that thing that was the only thing I could hear. - The MPI 1.4 Kappa (there was also a T-GDI 1.4L kappa variant, and that wasn’t a good engine at all, unlike the regular thats an) alright engine, at least it doesn’t have high compression, isn’t a 3 cylinder, does’t have a turbo or GDI… it’s just incredibly simple. Same with the transmission, the last simple conventional automatic, all others are either CVTs or have like 8+ gears and I don’t like all of that complexity. | |||||
