I loved the feel of the vehical while test driving it. It wanted the hug the road.
Least favorite feature:
I don't like the fact that it has no real rear bumper. I fear it will be easily damaged if tapped in the rear.
Advice to buyer:
Don't buy the towing package in hopes of subtituting it for a rear bumper. It is mounted not quite flush with the back door offering no protection.
Detailed review:
The Rav4 had more pickup to get onto the highway than the CRV I tested. The back seat was not really meant for long legged people but then what small SUV was. It is a little harder to get in and out of the back door that other small SUVs however.
