2013 Toyota RAV4 SUV XLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
comparing to my 2011 RAV4
 Nice looking, more car like, great driving SUV.The new 6-speed transmission is great.Handling is very good.There are three modes to choose from, Eco, Sport, and the default.Seems to effect how the transmission is used.In heavy traffic I prefer Sport mode because the car stays in the proper gear so you don't have to brake all the time.Reasonably comfortable (I used to own a Buick).I upgraded to the 2013 model primarily for the top-hinged hatch.I make frequent trips with an inflatable kayak to the river and got tired of having to deal with the side opening door.Much easier to work with now.The back seat folds down nearly flat.A big plus.
