Toyota Highlander or Toyota Rav4?

Rav4



Highlander

[pufizzle]

Test drove a highlander once.  Liked it a lot.  Then, I realized that I was broke and bought a 10 year old Diamante 

[waks]

I'm getting one or the other in July and can't decide if I want to spend the extra cash on the Highlander or not. If I went Highlander then I would get a Hybrid.

[ECN]

my sister has a rav4. its a pretty good vehicle. shes had it for about 4 years now, bought it new, and has had zero problems with it.

[waks]

Does she ever complain about gas mileage?

[michigancat]

Honda CR-V?

[waks]

What about it?

[michigancat]

Why not considering?

[Saulbadguy]

My dad has a Rav4. Only thing I didn't like was the interior, it is kinda cheap-ish.

[ECN]

Does she ever complain about gas mileage?

no.

[waks]

Why not considering?

I considered it. I just narrowed it down to the Highlander and the Rav4. I don't like the body of the CR-V as much as the other two and the CR-V and Rav4 are about the same price with the same gas mileage.

[ECN]

how much more is the highlander?

[waks]

how much more is the highlander?

About 10 grand if you go with the hybrid. The highlander hybrid gets 32/27 gas mileage and the Rav4 gets 24/30. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the Rav4 because I've heard that the extra money for the highlander isn't really worth it. Plus the highlander has a third row which I don't know how I feel about..

Isn't it just the same as you would get with any car priced in the same range? Or was it exceptionally cheap-ish?

Don't know, haven't been car shopping all that much.

Goddamn, life is good when you are a lynch.

I'd get a 5 year old Lexus rx300 if I were you.  You know how us Changs' like to roll.  All about the Rexus.  It's pretty sweet driving either a 98 sc300 or an 03 es300 for cheaper than a Hyundai.

[Kat Kid]

I just paid $2500 (down payment + 6 mos. insurance) for my lady's car.  Live it up you assholes, the real world sucks ass.

Oh, yeah and we still have $5000 more to go on that sucker. . . .  And it is a Saturn.

You guys like to wreck them too. Your brother has gotten something like three speeding tickets for 55 in a 30.

The first time was just stupid.  Still miss that car.  And yes, my brother is a dumbass.

[waks]

What do you drive now?

[ksuno1stunner]

What do you drive now?

2003 ES300, but I still consider the SC300 my car.

KK,
Saturn's are starting to kick ass.... have you seen the new outlook? 


I have a VUE... and they are completely re-designing them for 08.  They are also available in a Hybrid:

[FBWillie]

And waks, If it were me I'd go with the Rav4 over the Highlander... But do they make those in a V6, because IIRC my friend had a 4 cyl; it blew ass for HP and the Gas Mileage was horrible.

[waks]

Yeah, they make it in a v6.

[Kat Kid]

I hate you people.

L200 on the Saturn front.

[tdaver]

Unless you really need that little bit of extra room in the Highlander, go with the Rav4.  Looks better, cheaper, great mileage for a V6.   The Highlander looks like a minivan to me.

Go with the Rav, looks better.
