We bought this car after renting it for a road trip. We were immediately impressed by the sheer comfort of the car. The ride is very smooth, and when, in long trips, other cars start to feel uncomfortable, the RAV4 feels roomy, and the ride is excellent and easy. We took a six-hour road trip, and it felt much shorter than that. Whether it was the audio system, the spaciousness, or the comfortable seats, we knew it needed to be our next car. Then, shortly after when our baby was born, it was our first major purchase. It is a fantastic family vehicle and fits all our stuff when we go visiting family.
