Toyota Rav 4: Smooth Sailing

As a recent driver of the Jeep Compass Crossover, I have especially enjoyed my last few weeks driving the Toyota Rav4. To say the engine is powerful seems to me an understatement. In fact, as I merged onto the freeway this morning, it took no time to accelerate to the full speed of traffic on the road. The ride has been smooth and comfortable. 
 
Road bumps and potholes that feel like they take the bottom off my Compass are easy going in the Rav4 and barely make me blink. Even the power windows have power with a capital P! One tiny touch of the driver’s automatic window control and the window’s down in a flash. I do however have some concerns about the cars interior layout and design, but let’s not sour all this positive momentum just yet. More to come…

Totally agree, redliner...RAV4 Limited def needs to be luxed out inside for the money you have to pay for it.
