So my dad bought a RAV4 and I took it for a run just now for the hell of it and it was ..... not nice to look at from the inside as it is the outside.
It's a nice vehicle, big, the running lights are cute, the vehicle itself is still ugly. It handles nice, but it doesn't handle like a CX-5
ehhhh ... interior is still what you would expect from toyota. Spare tire is trash (he had to fight them down for them to give him an original spare and he still didn't get it so the salesman lied to him) it's steal and the audio cannot compare to the CX-5s The audio sounds like a speaker system that should be in the Toyota Yaris vs the BOSE 8 Surround sound system in the CX-5 lol the choice is clear there. I didn't check but I think it has a 4 speaker system in the Rav4, kinda tragic for 2013
Also in the RAV the audio interface doesn't .... work ....properly .... I dunno what I did wrong. Also the deck on the RAV4 is the exact same deck my friend has on his Corolla. He bought the deck after buying the Corolla tho but that's not the point, the deck looks like an aftermarket item with a Toyota logo on it.
Also the bootleg leather interior LMFAO - he would be getting rid of this vehicle in no time.
Typical of him, wanna be able to say he have a new model Rav4 even tho it's not that great, nor does he like it.
As far as safety goes, wow. It is definately better than the CX-5
6 Airbags VS 9... I mean .... you don't need to be a rocket scientist. The handling and other safety features such as breaking/ABS/Traction Control .... ugh .... it's comparable. The airbags are what tips the RAV4 above the CX in terms of safety, the controlled steering was also a nice touch, didn't expect that from Toyota for another 50 years to be quite honest with you
The driver seat is powered .... Oh wait ... no it's not, another lie!
The Rims are great for 18 inches .... except it's 17 inches
The roof racks were beautifully designed .... oh ... it doens't come with any
the fog lights on ......... nvm
I guess tho it's still kinda worth the money solely based on the safety features, and performance.
If you're looking for a fun vehicle to drive, once again .. Toyota is NOT the way to go.
SIDE NOTE: He has the white with a big ass black bumper on it.
The Suzuki Grand Vitara remains the best looking SUV in the country.

if you're so happy with your vehicle tho why do you constantly fight down other people's purchases if it's not on your list of worthy vehicles to buy??

Could you give your opinion on the Nissan Qashqai, and how it compares with some of the others in its class (Tuscon, Sportage, RAV4, SGV, etc)? Or anybody else who owns or checked out one?
I actually like how it looks compared to the others (yes I boring), but I don't see it being talked about much in this thread compared to the others.
Thanks!

Would love to have the Turbo Petrol version.....but jokes on the men that sayn Grand Vitara's are the best SUV when the last one i had lacked power greatly..and under semi-wet conditions suddenly wanted to do the "twist" (which resulted in a battle with a tree by Johnsons n Johnsons building on the highway and i lost).

Personal view: it feels like a Suzuki Swift on stilts... nice compact feel on the road, but if pressed would "Snap on you" and its hell to pay...comes with the 1.6 i think like the Juke (i am due for correction here)... though (again) i wish local companies would bring in the bigger CC engines that would really make them get up and go (like the 2.4's in the NIssans that are few and far between).
We test drove it with two females on board going over Lady Young...so you really cudnt "press" its limits on the corners... I personall dont like its styling though.
Oh...major turn off for me with it was the seating position... doenst allow for a taller person over 5'10 to have a comfortable seating experience.
