The Sportiest Crossover
 I spent 3 months looking at ever crossover on the market. My red 2008 Toyota Rav4 4x4 took the cake, icing, and the cherry on top. This year, make, and model have the perfect balance of appearance, reliability, versatility, comfort, and an old school/new school blend of instrumentation. 2008 was one of the last years to have the full-sized, alloy-rimmed spare on the back and side-opening trunk, small features that make the experience of owning this RAV4 all the better. Toyota has a rock-solid reputation for longevity with little-to-no problems; this 2008 RAV4 is no exception. The only problem that arose among many owners was burning oil, which Toyota dealerships fully cover. The backseats lay down completely flat, something almost no other crossovers can say, not to mention the extra cargo compartments under the enormous trunk due to the spare wheel on the back. The 2008 RAV4 has legroom for days and plenty of room to lounge in the reclining backseat. I love my simple dash and instrument panel. No bright distracting screens, no millions of buttons and presets for things you'll use in the first week of owning and never use again, just classic warning lights, mileage, temp outside, AUX input, and ice-cold air. (Plus my sunroof. Good god I love that thing). I will say I wish I had a V6, but its probably best for my lead foot in the end.
