In their own words

Two years in and the RAV4 is absolutely the best car I have ever owned. It deals with absolutely everything you throw at it easily. It feels exceptionally well built and is extremely comfortable. The Excel model has loads of gadgets to play with as well. The infotainment screen isn't as slick as some, but works well with Android auto.

While it isn't much fun to drive, it has plenty of power and is very economical, particularly for such a large car. It is by far the biggest car I have had and gets the best economy. The only change I would make is to get the AWD model as it gets a little wheelspinny in the wet.

I really like how quietly good looking and un-showy it is. When I was shopping around it felt like a lot of similar cars were quite flashy. The RAV4 is much more understated.

I love it so much, I plan to keep it at the end of the PCP - something I have never done before.
