Replying to: bbthomas (May 06, 2008 3:28 pm) Edit: Toyota does use a shorter final drive for its AWD Sienna, compared to the FWD model. So it's likely they do the same for the RAV4. Make sure you read the whole review, though. You might miss some highlights: * most lateral grip (tied) * most HP * lightest * best ride * best visibility * 2nd best braking * most ground clearance * tightest turning circle (despite AWD) * most balanced weight distribution * highest towing capacity * most headroom front and rear * most front legroom * 2nd best figure 8 The funny part was this: this rare thing called "great outward vision." So true!

Replying to: ateixeira (May 07, 2008 10:25 am) , people don't __want__ vision! They want gun slit windows tinted almost opaque! That way they're "invisible" and can drive like crazy - until they pile into someone else !!  And (perhaps  ), big vehicle sales, along with gansta specials, are doin' fine down there. Seriously, good visibility is great to have (if nothing else, to help avoid the "fools") and the '09 Forester stacks up very well there.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (May 07, 2008 11:43 am) You build a car with terrible visibility to the rear, then market a $2000 Navigation system with a backup cam! Win-Win!  Subaru was guilty, too, on the original Tribeca. It's much better now. |

Replying to: redrose1 (May 08, 2008 7:01 am) What kind of things were you looking for? The stereo opening is double-DIN sized, so the sky is the limit. You can get any of the best aftermarket GPS systems with a lot of features OE systems do not offer. That might more than make up for it. Nowadays, they're not cutting and splicing, either. The double-DIN stereos fit with a stock look, and they use harnesses to plug things in. I've installed 2 double-DINs and one single DIN sized stereo myself but you could rely on a retailer like Circuit City if you prefer. Let me post up one example: Kenwood Excelon DNX8120 Features: Plays DVDs Garmin Navigation big 7" screen optional Garmin FM traffic receiver XM Traffic/Weather ready built-in Bluetooth compatible with Kenwood iPod adapter, HD Radio tuner compatible with most factory steering wheel audio controls $1500 from Crutchfield. Wait for a free installation special from Circuit City. I know the Acura RL has traffic (RD-X, dunno?), that's why I specifically searched for one that had that feature. That is the top of the line model, there are a few cheaper ones with fewer features. I guess I just prefer aftermarket stuff. Instead of paying $2000 for a tiny 8" DVD screen on my minivan, I paid $900 and got 12".
