2009 Toyota RAV4 SUV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
California Rav4
 We own a generation 1 rav4 and have nearly 250,000 miles on it.  We have a baby on the way and needed more room for a car seat.  We test drove a few other makes and models and ultimately decided to buy a new rav4.  I really enjoy the peppy 4cyl engine and the decent gas mileage.  I am 6'1" tall and find the front leg room to be a bit lacking. Also, the new rav4 doesn't brake as well as our old rav4.  However, the new rav4 turns easier and maneuvers better.  I miss being able to park in the tiniest spaces, but hey now we have room for a stroller, groceries, and a car seat.  I would recommend a 2009 rav4 to anyone looking for a small SUV that is lots of fun to drive.
