Replying to: jrynn (Dec 19, 2005 8:11 am) I think the handling, braking and power is there for the new RAV4 Sport, in addition to the perceived reliability. But it's still missing the manual transmission.

Replying to: kdshapiro (Dec 19, 2005 4:52 am) I agree with the handling...but the trade-off may be a harsher ride for some folks.   The Sante Fe analogy is not really valid because the mechanical pedigree of the Fe is nowhere near that of the new RAV.

Replying to: div2 (Dec 19, 2005 8:08 am) Not with the old RAV. But some X3 2.5 owners may...with the new RAV.

It's totally relevant.... There is a lot more to a car than dimensions and straight-line acceleration.   If you've driven a BMW (ANY BMW), then you'd understand what the driving hype is all about. For those who have never driven, then you just see it as a big price premium.   Driving any Toyota versus any BMW is like Night versus Day.

Replying to: bodble2 (Dec 19, 2005 1:09 am) Of course, almost any new car will get you from point A to point B. If you are buying from a practical standpoint just buy 3 or 4 Yaris in case one is in the garage being fixed. Personally, the status image has nothing to do with it, I could have bought almost any car I wanted (and I don't even like to be driving a status symbol). I chose the X3 because it has the most room, best looks, best performance, most safety features, and is the best car I have ever driven (and that includes a lot of rental cars). Nothing wrong with being practical, but, if you enjoy the ride and the experience is important go for the X3, you only live once. Replies to this message: designman (Dec 20, 2005 9:05 am)
