The Little Car That Could

My 2005 RAV4 has been a fanTAStic little car. It's just big enough to haul stuff around, seats 4 comfortably (5 if they're skinny and very friendly). There are some signs of aging - the paint shows its age, the carpets show their age - but man it has some good zip. Very agile and so fun to drive - especially in snow!

Awesome Ride

I just got this used with 6,612 miles on it. It has the security alarm and L package along with roofrack and moonroof. I love its handling and how easy it is to drive and park, though it looks much bigger than it actually is. I would highly recommend looking at one of these SUVs. The RAV4 is awesome with storage and room as well. The seats can recline, move back or forward or be taken out completely in the rear.

I have enjoyed driving again, thanks to my RAV 4. It is just the size for a smaller family. Easy to handle, yet it has power on the road when I need it. Standard features are great and it is a great, powerful, reliable vehicle for the money. If you can love an inanimate object -- I love my RAV 4!
