 After owning several Highlanders, all of which were great vehicles, I traded in a Sienna XLE van for a 2015 Toyota RAV4 XLE, silver in color, with a two tone black/gray fabric interior.  I have made two trips from Long Island to Rochester, and I am happy with the seat comfort, and how the trucklet handles on the highway. The ride is firm, but not bad for a short wheel base suv, and the steering is superb. It doesn't wander around on the highway. It goes where its pointed without drama, and steering effort is good while giving nice road feel. All the instrumentation is pretty intuitive. My phone paired easily to the Bluetooth, and works well with the in dash controls. With the 2nd seat folded, there is a lot of cargo room, which I have used to good advantage. The 2.5 176 hp 4 cylinder cruises easily, and I keep it between 67 and 72 mph with little effort from the engine. I had reservations about a 4 cylinder, after having many V-6 Toyotas, with around 270hp, but the RAV4 power is sufficient, if not overwhelming. You just have to time your passes a little more carefully. A little disappointed in the mpg, which turns out to be around 24, only about 2 to 3 more than the much heavier Sienna. I specifically did not want a CVT transmission, and the RAV4 delivers with a conventional, very smooth 6 speed automatic. I also considered a Subaru Forester, which I test drove, and has a nice exterior, and comfortable, well designed interior, but did not like the CVT, and did not like how it moved around on the road, unable to hold a straight line without constant little adjustments. I did not test the Mazda CX-5 or the Hyundai Tucson. I drove the Honda CRV, very nice vehicle, but did not want a CVT transmission. That said, I was disappointed that the XLE does not come with a power driver's seat or even synthetic leather. The Sienna XLE had both. I believe every vehicle is a compromise on some points, and I got the RAV4 because its been in production for years, and has great reliability. So far I'm not disappointed.
