I’m going to resist the urge and simply buy an x3 or x5 as an addition so the future me doesn’t hate me.

I will say one advantage with our Ravs is we can go on long road trips and park in tight/sketchy areas without worrying it’ll get beat up, chipped, banged on. Plus it’s like the most reliable car. I’m obsessed with keeping the M3 mint and the RAV4 prime is no slouch being the second fastest Toyota. I’m still teetering with what to do. I’ll be following your journey along the way.

No doubt. The rav4 has been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned and the fuel mileage is awesome. The only thing that I have a hard time with is the lack of creature comforts and the 4 banger buzz. One other thing is you can literally lose it on the sea of rav4s. I accidentally tried to open another silver rav thinking it was mine. Doh!!!

I’d love another Toyota but nothing they sell suv wise does it for me. I don’t want a Highlander or Crown and a Lexus is bmw territory with turbo 4s and whatnot.

Not exactly the same, but I had a Cayenne GTS for a while before I got my M3. It was a really fun SUV but I wouldn’t go back if I had the choice.
