2003 Toyota RAV4 - Great car for new home owner
We purchased this car when we moved into our new home, to use it for purchases like washing machine or dryer and other misc. furniture. The back seats can be taken out giving you a lot of room for many larger items. The car is sturdy and drives well, especially in the winter. At over 100k miles, and it holds on strong. The only down side is the back seat is a bit too tight for our three kids. I love that the trunk door open sideways, and the extra underneath trunk and door storage.
Story
I loved when we got our new, very large washing machine. We took out the seats and were able to put that monster in the back seat and drive home with it. Having a new home, we called our friends often to ask to borrow a truck and trailer.
Pros
Quality build, spacious, feel safe, smaller than a full size SUV, and can fit easier.
Cons
Wishing the back seat was just a bit wider.
2010 Toyota RAV4 - RAV4 - good, but scary in the winter.
I purchased a RAV4 because it was a good blend of reliability, gas mileage, and cargo space, and it had a pretty smooth ride. What I purchased was just the standard two wheel drive. It performed as expected until winter. Once the roads became wet and slick, the RAV became a nightmare to drive. It didn't have sufficient weight in the front for decent traction. In any amount of snow, starting from stop lights was a real issue. Stopping was an issue as well, as was just staying on the road. Once our new son arrived, I decided that I couldn't keep the RAV. I didn't feel comfortable driving it with my son in the back.
Story
Somehow I got a foot long stick stuck inside the tire. No idea how it happened. I also once got stuck in two inches of snow in my own driveway. I was pulling into the garage and it just lost traction. I was able to back out so I did so and then floored it and ended up sliding mostly sideways into the garage.
Pros
Nice amount of cargo space, the rear seats could be removed entirely, good gas mileage, comfortable to ride.
Cons
A deathtrap during winter (or late fall or early spring).
