Car Review: Look at this absolute unit. This is the 2019 RAV-4, a SUV design to replace a sedan.
Fuel economy - excellent, better than some subcompacts. Hybrid would be as good as the best sedans avg 35mpg, range 10mpg-40mpg
Safety - WOW & standard
Cargo space - great https://x.com/mistersql/status/1160559499234762758/photo/1
Handling- handles like a truck & a full sized car. This thing is big. My wife really didn't like to drive it. I got used to it
Adaptive cruise control. Works like magic.
Lane assist. The beeping felt like nagging. I think it beeped less after 1 week of practice.♡ 0 ↻ 0... beeping is the wrong feedback... very jarring & my passenger Dad, he could stop talking about how awful a nagging car would be.
Is it for my family? Not really because if you got car seats, you can't easily put down the seats to use the colossal storage area. ....♡ 0 ↻ 0If you hate sedans, this is a good replacement. If you want the things specific to an SUV (cargo area & towing), this makes more sense for a 2 person household with no kids.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Clarification on hybrid mpg: 41/38 epa score for hybrid. Not sure if that is on eco or regular mode. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/toyota/rav4-hybrid Above mpg is my experience driving around Colorado & New Mexico.
