I know this vehicle will get a lot of hate from an enthusiast forum.
Still interested to hear how it drives. I don't care if it needs to rev to move, as long as it does in fact move. I won't access 200 HP driving around Philly streets, I'll access it on highway ramps where any car would be revving out anyway.
It is not really getting hate... but how is that better than a Crosstranny? It offers more of everything you don't need.
more expensive, more size, more weight.
Also it'll likely have less ground clearance.
I find a cross tranny to be quite a utilitarian vehicle, Desert told me to get my headexamined pre/post suicide.
The RAV4 I give the thumbs up to. Reasonably handsome, real transmission, probably enough power. I despise the looks and drivetrain of the Crosstrek with the burning hatred of a thousand nuclear explosions.

Do not want CVT. Can't do it. Also they're slow as molasses at 10 seconds to 60. But I do like them overall, just throw a more powerful motor and a 6 or 8 speed geared auto and I'd be down. Which is basically what the Rav4 is
What about a dangerously slow CX-5? I liked it...

Yep I like those too. They come in AWD as well. They're 0-60 in...
8.1 seconds
2.5L..... 6 gears.... 3700 lbs...... I mean it's basically the same as the new Rav just looks different. And with a bit more power and more gears in the Rav.... it theoretically doesn't have to suck.
So that's why I'm saying I'd like to see what reviews think of it. November will be 2 years with my car. If I can make it to 3, that would be 1 year of production with the Rav, so kinks should be ironed out, and possibly discounts started. Timing could be alright.

Toyota doesn't have first-year kinks...
Also this is their top selling vehicle ala Wrangler, they won't fuck it up. You could probably trade straight across to that one if you don't tick all the options.

I don't want first year anything. Straight trade would be alright. I'd be chopping my balls off, essentially. Considering I could straight trade for a nice condition Audi S5....

Yeah which is why I have my rally car. Dealing with repairs, even in warranty, is a massive pain in the ass for me. But it's also no better, possibly worse actually, at handling potholes than my current car.
they look good doe. 3.0 supercharged engine. AWD. DCT. Mmmm.

I'm actually
at how
the new RAV4 looks. I get it.
It looks good in adventure trim.
For a MTB and
hauler it's pretty perfect.
I can't hate on this, at all.
Only gripe is the silver plastic trim on the bottom of the front bumper.

You won't be able to find your RAV in a parking lot in 2 years. Just going to be a sea of them as far as the eye can see. People just walking around hitting the lock button trying to locate theirs

I welcome the coming epidemic of MILF brawls in the Target parking lot as women mistakenly try to enter each other's RAVs.

I didn’t think of this until halfway trough my drive home, but for the last 6 miles (which included about 2 miles that had been totally repaved within the past few years) I counted 58 different potholes requiring patching or repaving.

Lemme guess... 611?
Not on it much, these were side roads.
That said, it is impressive how much 611 was messed up within months of them finishing it.
