That it did not come in a V-6 like some of the other compact SUVs.
Advice to buyer:
Don't get the leather trim seats.......just looks like cheap vinyl!
Detailed review:
To be honest starting out on my search for a compact or standard SUV......the RAV 4 was last on my list. That was until I saw the new 2001 model. I fell in love. I love how it handled in the test drive. I loved how I looked in it. ;) Anyway,I got all the options except for the leather trim which I didn't like. I love the sunroof, rear spoiler, and tire cover. Anyway, I have no regrets! I have had mine since March 10.
