Replying to: mew30 (Jun 03, 2009 6:37 am) Hello, Thanks for your reply. I believe that the Mazda5 is a great car, but since I often drive on dirt and unpaved roads, it's a little too low for me. That's why I've already done some research into other cars and most likely I'll focus on the Toyota RAV4 which, so far, meets all my needs and more. Of course, it costs more, but when I was comparing the all-wheel Vibe (or Matrix) and the base 4x4 RAV4, there price is not that different.

You don't need 8 inch clearance for gravel or dirt roads, just watch for potholes. I drove my 5 pretty hard on a gravel road and it stood up quite well.
