 I was driving a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara which I really liked... except for the gas mileage.  I was getting about 18 miles a gallon, and when you're job hunting... that doesn't work.  I was pushed into driving a Rav4 and surprisingly... I LOVE IT.  I hope once the "new car" wares off the mileage will be as great as I need it to!  I am very happy with my new car!
