Small, funky, fun...



Bloated, urban utility...



I recently saw, for the first time in forever, a gen1 Rav4. Until that sighting, I had totally forgotten how small they originally were. I liked them up to Gen3, but in my mind the Gen4 ceases to be a 'Rav4'.

Yeah, that 3-door 1st Gen Rav 4 was small for that class...about 16 inches shorter than the 1st Gen 5-door Rav 4.

Re AWD, I've been sweet on the Subaru Impreza ever since one of my relatives bought a new 5-door with a manual transmission during the 2007 model year. I think CTScott made an excellent choice re his new XV Crosstrek, but then he knew the 'virtues of a Subie' first hand having been a past owner of a Forester. Subaru even allows you to get the Crosstrek package with any level of Impreza 5-door....even the base manual transmission model.
