My next choice’s Are Hyundai Santa Cruz, rav4? Not really fan of the 1.5/2.0 direct injection natural or turbo engines. not fan of Ford bronco or CRV’s for that reason. IMO so far too small, works too hard, and direct injection has had problem’s? If I had one I would religiously change the oil every 6 months minimum, especially if turbocharged? But, that’s me.

Some of the vehicles like Toyota have a second set of port injectors that at certain times in the combustion cycle inject fuel above the valves to clean them. This is to solve the problem with carbon on the valves since no fuel goes past them on a standard direct injection system.
