Thanks for the answers on the rear door on the RAV4. It's a nice option for me to have it open that way as I have physical limitations and the over the head lifting doors have always been an issue for me. So, do those of you that have a RAV 4 like them and are glad you made the decision to buy it? We are test driving tomm. I think.

I found that when my daughter moved into a booster seat the Forester was better. Room is tight with some bigger baby seats, but with boosters it raises the kids up so they actually have more room from their legs to the floor. I think a Forester is fine for 2 kids, more than that and you should get something bigger.

if I would be given a chance, I would definitely trade in my Rav 4 to for the forester. I just can't seem to understand why its new model is so noisy specially during on high speed while the past rav 4 that I was able to drive is comfy and speedy as well.

I've narrowed down my choices to either a Subaru Forester or a V6 Toyota RAV4 -- 08 in both cases. Consider my needs/wants//situation, which would you buy. drive to work only 3 x a week, but 40+ mi (most 2 lane county/state roads) ea way want best gas mileage possible both kids away at college so we primarily use the front seats must be able to tow a small camper (minimum or 2500 towing capacity) drive quite a bit on rural & gravel roads ice/snow a few months out of the year; live in southeast Missouri, so need either awd or 4wd capability would love a hybrid or something like that, but . . . Of course, that's my wish list, and I know nothing is going to meet that perfectly. That said, though, which would you buy. We're going shopping next week. Dh hates to car shop and wants the whole experience to go quickly as he recently had surgery and doesn't feel up to a really long day (and the decision is up to me because it will be my vehicle). I really appreciate all your help.
