My V6 has become a work truck. But man, I usually look at different vehicles constantly. Dreaming of stupid ideas. But then I get in my Rav and I think to myself “I $&&?ing love this vehicle.” I’ll drive it into the ground. Haha. Driving my wife’s new CRV is nice for its creature comforts, but it sucks. HahH.

Noise in not sure as I haven't taken it on a prolonged highway trip, which I find the sport has pretty loud road noise. So that is TBD.
Vibration and harshness is much better in the limited. It feels more dampened when I shut the doors, and it is waaay more comfortable when going over rough streets. Comparing directly to the Sport, the limited feels like it's floating over rough roads.

The idea of getting another is to find one fully loaded with clean history that we can hopefully drive into the ground as well. | So my wife had the same problem with speed with a lot of the "economy" SUVs. She was spoiled driving my FBO MS3 and it was a learning curve already "side-grading" to a Mini Cooper 1.5t. The 1st day we picked up the Cooper she tried to overtake a bunch of cars getting onto a ramp.
Me: "What are you doing?"
Her: "Passing them?"
Me: "You can't do that in this car."
Her: "Why?"
Me: "You've got less than half the power...."
Tuner went on pretty quickly after that. (+20hp, + 20-30tq)
When we looked for a family SUV to trade the Mini in for, anything that was slowing than 7s to 100 was out of the question. Quote:

The smaller wheel size would make a ton of difference for the harshness on roads. Toyota's suspension tuning are always under-damped imo.

Even with the smaller winter tires on the Sport (pictured), the Limited rides better. The suspension tuning is indeed different between Limited and Sport.

more deadening is usually added when they refresh a model, not so much between trims for similar years
ie 16 v 17 forester, 08 vs 09 vitara
I assumed your sport was several years older/pre-facelift

Went through all my car's service records since new. I found the original order sheet (factory order), window sticker, all the dealership service records, the trip to the body shop it took to fix some shopping cart damage, the original cheque and bill of sale. I'm going to put it all in a binder and be one of "those guys" when I go to sell it where I have all the shit that goes with the car.

I have a 93 Prelude SR-V I've been working on, it's got collector plates already but I was getting the dreaded ABS light shortly after startup... every single one has this problem.
Anyway, removed the ABS pump, and have to clean these little pins that are supposed to slide out from centrifugal (or centripetal? My physics is too old) motion when the motor spins up to pressurize at start-up... but they get gummed up and don't slide out and the ABS light gets tripped as a result. I think most Prelude owners just leave it because it's too much trouble to get the pump out, but I'm a glutton for punishment so... why not...
Pump: 
The little pins that weren't sliding, getting cleaned up: 
I ran out of time and wasn't able to re-install the pump... but crossing my fingers it will all work out.............

Everytime I reverse I feel like the lights aren't on.  | |
