The RAV 4 is a great vehicle because it has the storage space of an SUV but is small enough to easily park. I like that I can always fit all my purchases in the car and can even move furniture. I never have a hard time parking, even if parallel parking is all that is available. The car has great sight lines with no blind spots making it easy to move around on the road. The seats are very comfortable even after driving long hours from one destination to another. The stereo system is very reliable and the speakers in the door almost make it sound like surround sound, and I like that I can adjust the tremble and bass to my liking. In the winter, this compact SUV still does well. I have driven through snow storms without a problem and didn't even use special tires. The car is high up making it easy to shovel snow out from under it when its been parked during a storm. The paint has stayed shiny blue, and there is almost no rust even after enduring many winter storms. I'm in a band, and the car can easily fit my drum kit along with my bellow bandmates when driving from gig to gig which is a great feature.

I like that it's so reliable. I have had to hop in the car and drive halfway across the country the next day for an emergency, and did not worry about it breaking down once. It's great in the snow and great for travelling. When I remove the back seats, it's the perfect length for me to sleep in if I'm camping in less than ideal weather. It also fits my fly fishing rods perfectly. It's one of the best small SUVs left, by far.
