Toyota RAV 4

Anyone got / had one? Comments please if so.

I've only ever driven a mini and then a toyota yaris so seem like a big jump but has to be done, well a bigger car is needed, and it may well end up being the Rav 4. What do you think?

Unfortunately I mentally call these the Chav 4. Simply because there are so many of them about rather than any other reasons!!

Anyway, we looked at them a while back and decided the boot wasn't big enough. You'll need to fit a double buggy in won't you?

I have the Honda equivalent CRV absolutely fantastic car, really easy to drive despite being huge IMO. Brilliant for kids, buggies, bicycles, hiking boots, tents etc. The best car I've ever had and I'm very sadly about to sell it because I'm moving to Brazil and can't take it with me! If you are eligible to buy in with Danish diplomatic plates then you can have it for a song!

LOL, cheers Albert, not sure I'm eligible for the paltes hon!
Do you really think it's huge, cos that puts me off too! Think mini then teeny ting little yaris. Not big on big cars iykwim, but it has to be done.

TBH it's not huge really but is higher than most cars and a tiny bit longer but it is really spacious and seems big once you are inside, great vision and power steering make it a dream to drive. I was concerned about the size but did the test driving of potential cars and after driving this I was convinced this was the car for us (turned down a BMW in favour of the CRV!) Yeah, didn't think you were a Danish diplomat but worth a try! I'm driving it to Denmark from Venice next week - just me and DS (5), hmm, should be fun!

I can't help it TC I think it everytime I see the damn things (and I'm not saying they are "chavvy" at all, it's just word association!) I have the same problem with Travelocity.co.uk...

Definitely heard good things about the CRV though.
