This is the reason why the SUBJECTIVE component in this evaluation should theoretically total 5% only (which is not true unfortunately).

Replying to: dodo2 (Sep 17, 2007 11:48 am) For the first hour, I prefer the Miata. Then it starts feeling cramped and I get wind-burned (the top is ALWAYS down).  Any longer than that, and I'll take the comfort of the Sienna. |

Replying to: carlitos92 (Sep 17, 2007 1:25 pm) That's the clincher for a lot of folks, the 2GR engine is both powerful AND efficient. It's very, very easy to be ONE of those things. The 2GR is both at the same time. That's what is impressive about it. You can be quicker and spend less on gas, too, at the same time. It's a huge selling point.

Replying to: carlitos92 (Sep 17, 2007 1:25 pm) OBJECTIVELY, you are correct. The trouble is that OBJECTIVELY, the Outlander out-brake, out-slalom, out-handle the RAV4. Based on that, I would say the Outlander out-performs the RAV4.

Replying to: carlitos92 (Sep 17, 2007 1:25 pm) OBJECTIVLY RAV4 has outdated 5-speed transmission, outdated AWD witch can lock all wheels only at up to 25 mph, lousy stereo, no navigation, no MP3 server, no Fast Key, no Bluetooth, no Xenons, inconvenient curbside loading, dull interior, basic warranty, and lower in class owner satisfaction ratings (yahoo, MSN, Edmunds).

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 17, 2007 1:31 pm) The comparo is about which one is the best OVERALL package. Many buyers in this segment look for the bang for the buck aside from fuel economy. Which factor is more important depends on the buyer. On a side note, I think the RAV4 mostly sells because it's a Toyota, and then because of the exceptional V6. I would be curious to see how many RAV4 I4s and how many are V6s were sold. Anyone has any numbers? This would be a good indicator of what drives the RAV4 sales.
