2003 Toyota RAV4 SUV AWD 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Never thought I'd love an SUV!
 I bought this car to replace my '97 Honda Civic.  I have owned Toyotas in the past and I have always loved them.  However, I was not prepared to fall in love with this car before I had even driven off the dealer's lot for the test drive!  Some have mentioned it being underpowered, but I don't find the manual shift to be underpowered at all.  It is a little noisy in the cabin, but this is an SUV, not a Lexus sedan.
