I really like the room that the Rav 4 has for a small utility vehicle. The hatch in the back also has plenty of room.

Pros: good gas mileage. Good cargo space. Excellent stock audio. Powerful v6 with good pickup. Traction was above average. Flexibility w/ the seats allowed configuring the car to hold big payloads. Interface between the car audio and a smartphone is possible. Good turning radius for a small SUV. Powerful antilock brakes are good for stopping quickly. Full-size spare tire holder on the rear cargo door. Cons: a little bit small for any family 4 or larger. Does not have 4WD standard. Seats in the front are a little bit close together. It could use more accessible cup holders. The ones in the door do not hold drinks usually. More power outlets than the one in the front would be a nice addition.
