I used to live on a piece of ranch land about twenty miles outside of a small town in rural Texas. Every day, I had to drive forty-five minutes to get to work and the same distance to get back afterwards. Early on, I had a Dodge Neon that was very unreliable and often gave me trouble. But when I bought my RAV4, my experience driving dramatically improved. The car was rock solid, easy to maintain, and worked for me every time I needed it.

This SUV type has good pick up when I'm taking off from a stop light or if I need to pass. It has a button that you can push, if you need a little more pick up to pass a vehicle, which is nice. I don't like the intermediate windshield wipers on this Toyota. They are more like a basic model because there doesn't seem to be enough choices, like other cars I have had in the past. Overall, it's a good car.
