"Great Compact SUV"
Pros: Smooth transmission, great fuel ecomomy, comfortable interior, overall Honda reliability (your won't be seeing your dealer/mechanic very much)
Cons: Poor standard factory stereo performance, more than adequate acceleration but not a stop light racer.
Summary: My EX-L was chosen without the navigation system (I prefer a portable, hand held unit) with the factory base 160 watt 6-disc, XM stereo. I replaced the rear door speakers with the Honda BASS system (2 woofers & underseat amplifier) for a much better sound than that of the JBL system found in the RAV4. The driving experience is pure Honda, very predictable, reliable and much more quite than my 1999 CR-V. Much more standard features, dollar for dollar ($24600), than what a RAV4 would have provided.
Performance is more than adequate. Highway cruising is quiet and smooth. The second row seating is exceptionally comfort for three kids or two adults with the leather.
