1999 Toyota RAV4 SUV 4dr SUV AWD
Quality-built, Fun Car
 A sure-footed, compact pseudo-SUV 
that's fun to drive. Consistently gets 
26mpg and drives great in all weather. 
Feels nice sitting high but it can't 
corner without feeling tippy. 
Acceleration is poor (compared to my 
98 corolla). Hate that the tailgate 
doesn't open down or up or have a 
window that opens. There's no way to 
carry long items such as a ladder or 
PVC pipe. Cargo footprint really is no 
bigger than a Camry so "SUV" seems 
kind of a misnomer. Due to small cargo 
space, non-opening rear window & lack 
of power we are looking to replace our 
RAV4 with a Suburu Baja.
