Beautiful, spacious, reliable
I think that the Toyota RAV4 is a great car overall because of its excellent mileage and spacious trunk. However, since it is classified a small SUV, it is does not have a third-row seat. But, I still think it is an exemplary family car because it can house up to five people and has pockets on the back of the first row seat for children to put stuff in. The next point I would like to deliver is that the engine delivers good acceleration, and the engine does not make any engine strain noise on the city or the highway. The fuel capacity is 16 gallons, meaning that it can go for up to 750 miles without refueling at all. The top speed is rated at about 145 miles per hour; however, we usually do not exceed the speed limit of 80 miles per hour. The storage compartment is spacious and can house many of your stuff that you need to store somewhere in your car. The headlights are a complete redesign from the previous generation and look much more futuristic and can light up the road ahead very good. The aerodynamics of the car are very good for a small SUV, meaning that the air flows around very good around the shape of the car when you are going at high speeds on the highway. The brake are excellent, for example, whenever you are going at 40 mph on the streets and you see an upcoming street light, the brakes will respond very goodly due to the fact that he brakes are specially equipped with an upgraded suspension and an added stronger chassis to absorb any shock that comes to the tires of the car and the vehicle needs to regain its balance on the road.

I love this vehicle!
My Toyota Highlander is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is unbelievably reliable. I have only just recently had to replace the battery, and that is the only part that I have had to replace. It has over 67,000 miles on it. It is the perfect size vehicle for our family's needs. The paint and trim have all held up nicely. It has held its value also. I drive mostly in-town miles, but it is very comfortable for long road trips also. The 4WD performs great in snowy/icy conditions, and I use the snow mode often during winter time. One thing I love about this vehicle is that it is a mid-size SUV that drives like a car. The seating position and stance of the vehicle does not make it feel too large when driving. It has a great turning radius for an SUV that allows me to park and turn around easily. There is more than enough cargo room with the third-row seat down to allow for larger items, luggage, etc. to be put in the back.

A good, comfortable family car
The Highlander isn't a particularly sexy car, but it's a good solid choice for a family. Being a Toyota, it's safe and reliable. I have, unfortunately, been in a couple accidents of varying severity in my Highlander, and all people and items in the car remain unscathed. I have only ever had to do routine maintenance (oil changes, etc.). The ride is smooth, and the gas mileage is not bad for a six-cylinder SUV (about 18 mpg on average, I'd say). The bells and whistles really make the Highlander a pleasant car to drive. I love all the heaters and defrosters at my disposal. I've got dual-zone heat (front and rear), heated seats, defrosters for the windshield wipers, a defroster for the rear window, and defrosters for the side mirrors. These features make a Midwest winter just a little bit less terrible. I also love my back-up camera -- it's a lifesaver for a mediocre parallel parker like me. The sound system is pretty decent, and the leather seats are of decent quality as well. Cargo space is good when the third row of seats is down, but minimal when all three rows are in use. I do have a tow hitch and roof racks though, so I've got some cargo options if needed. Speaking of that third row -- it's best for children or small, nimble adults. It can be difficult to get into that third row if you're an older, less agile adult. The seats are a bit firm and upright as well.
