With an out-of-towner visiting, I need a vehicle with a bit more cargo room, as the wife insists that the dog goes wine tasting with us. So I am renting a Toyota RAV4 from the local dealership.
The RAV4 has come a long way. I've always liked the little original. And note the "Lauda Air" sign at the curb.
@maxichamp thanks! my wife, her sister and i test drove/rode both yesterday in burlingame. we all went in with a strong cx-5 bias. but oddly enough the rav4 actually came out on top. we just found it was more refined, and the ride in the cx-5 was harsher than what my wife wanted. i guess there's a reason why toyota sells so many camrys.
wow, cool that you can rent an fr-s! i haven't driven one yet, and maybe i'll give it a try.
ReplyDeletemy wife and i are considering a compact SUV. the mazda cx-5 is at the top of the list, but any/all suggestions welcome.
@augie: You might find this comparison helpful.
