    Well considering my vehicle was the rental for the dealership and so I got an amazing deal on it because I was doing work at the dealership on the computer systems and they gave me a massive discount as an employee. I’m pretty damn happy with it. I also have taken it off-road and it does actually perform pretty well off-road as well. My Tacoma does much better of course because the Tacoma is a purpose-built vehicle. But that doesn’t mean that my RAV4 is anything short of that. Also with it being a commuter car I don’t mind that because the purpose of that is to take the load off of my truck that I use daily for work. There’s no way in hell that I could or whatever own one of the old RAV4s. Just because there are thousands of people that own the RAV4s and like them. Doesn’t mean that there aren’t thousands more that absolutely love their current RAV4s. So pretty much your argument is null and void when it comes to that. I personally have driven in and driven those older RAV4s and I think their pieces of shit and I would never personally own one. And yes that’s my antidote to levidence. But I’m also the one that would be looking at them as well. So it doesn’t matter what your opinion is in this case for me. Those older RAV4s also aren’t super great off-roaders as well. They had way underpowered engines they couldn’t really go many places because their tires were too small to make much of a clearance. Those were essentially old Corollas that were lifted as well. If you’ve ever ridden in an older curl as well. So you’re antidote to evidence about the new RAV4 simply being a lifted Corolla doesn’t make much sense either.

      I think ur definition of “off roading” and mine differ. Rav 4 cannot off road, hell the taco can barely do mild wheeling outside of a fire road LOL. IFS = I fucking suck at off road XD don’t talk about wheeling when u have 2 open diffs and independent suspension, ur going down a dirt road.
