I took a 2012 RAV4 Sport, with the V6 engine out for a test drive today. That is one quick SUV.
I wish they still offered the V6. It was a 1mpg difference between that and the L4 and the price was reasonable for what you got. There seemed to be a good take rate as i still see lots of v6s around here.
I like the idea of the hybrid, but not at close to $50k.
I might just look around for a v6 when i decide to buy.
In the old generation, the seating position was not good after a short drive , the interior was ugly
And the door swings out instead of going up
The interior is still ugly.
