Replying to: rcpax (Mar 26, 2007 9:59 pm)  don't mention in the review is that the Outies 4WD is far and away more superior to the AWD of the RaV... another thing, the RAV4 is a "chick" ride...The Outie is a "guy's" ride...

Replying to: solowalker (Mar 27, 2007 6:11 am) LS vs. AWD V6 Base or XLS vs. AWD V6 Sport or XLS fully loaded vs. AWD V6 LTD fully loaded. What I would be interested to read in a side by side comparo, for the cargo versatility for example, would be things like min/max cargo height, depth with the rear seats up and down, width. To this point, we all know that the rear seats in the Outlander flip forward and in the RAV4 fold flat. Now my question is what is the distance from the back door to the front seats in each vehicle? How tall is the cargo area in each (min/max), how big the rear opening? How wide (min/max)? This are relevant things IMO. Anyone can compare 72.6 sq ft vs 73 sq. ft. max cargo space from the manufacturer's spec. The trick is how this cargo is laid out. Point out short comings and good features in each vehicle and weight them. If some of the materials are of poor quality in one vehicle or another, or the panels do not fit together, just explain where, so if I go to check out the vehicle I know what to look for. Generic statements don't mean anything. Test braking distance in the same environmental conditions from the safety perspective. This are things that matters to the consumers. I don't give a damn if Joe Doe likes the interior/exterior design or not. I can judge that for myself without anybody's help. Rating vehicles on subjective assessments has no value for the consumer at all.

Replying to: dodo2 (Mar 27, 2007 8:51 am) 1. what is the largest sheet of plywood that will fit inside (width x length) 2. what is the largest box that will fit inside (width x length x height) I agree that cubic feet is kind of worthless if that is oddly shaped. The fold flat seats in the RAV4 create a much more useful cargo area than the tumble seats in the Outlander (that waste 1+ foot of floor space).

Replying to: johnny98 (Mar 27, 2007 9:19 am) Do you know what the distance is in the Outlander from the tumbled seats to the rear hatch versus the back of the front seats to the rear door in the RAV4? This measurement would determine which car has a longer cargo floor with the rear seats down. For the RAV4, a min. and max. should be measured depending on the front seats position. For the Outlander, this distance is constant. |

Replying to: johnny98 (Apr 06, 2007 4:17 pm) They also noted how nearly useless the 3rd row seat is...even had a nice photo of it. Looks like an Apollo couch: fabric stretched inside a metal frame and not much else. |
