“Features that I love: Four-cylinder provides great gas mileage but isn’t puny when accelerating (CR-V doesn’t have the gusto); stylish interior and exterior (mine is red with gray interior), heated seats, great cargo area (jogging stroller, pack n’ play and tons of other baby gear fit with room to spare), XM Satellite, Bluetooth capability … and for all of us parents, the convertible car seat for my 16-month-old daughter fits perfect (bench seat reclines to allow for a snug fit).This was a huge concern for me, and the CR-V didn’t provide the same kind of fit — I would have had to place a rolled-up towel or something similar underneath the car seat to get it to snap snuggly in place.
“The only drawback to the RAV4 is that the seats aren’t conducive to long road trips — they get a little hard on the tushie after a while! I was on the fence given Toyota’s reputation as of late, but I’m happy I took the chance — looking forward to driving my RAV4 for years to come.”
