Good Points
Looks great, drives great, feels good quality, lots of storage, drives like a car - I'm getting 53 mpg after 20K miles.
Bad Points
Seats could do with a separate lumbar support or rake of seat would be better on a dial than on a lever so have greater arc of choice of position. No fast forward/reverse on CD player.
General Comments
I do 30,000 miles a year. Had a Volvo S40 before this and thought that was the most comfortable car I've had - however with the Rav 4 I'm even less tired. Compared with the Volvo this is quieter. Engine cruises along nicely. You're sitting higher so don't get as much rain/muck/dirt thrown at the window from other vehicles. Plus I use it in the odd field with 4x4 so very practical and car like. I've owned Audi's, BMW's, Volvo's and a whole load of Fords/Vauxhalls - this is the best by far. The dealer is great too and the servicing is competitive. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
