Why Not the 2009 Toyota RAV4?

Interior styling

Good quality, but very mundane, and the quality was higher in the Murano

Safety & braking

The brakes felt very mushy to me.

Front seat support & comfort

Harder seats than in the Murano, and now in a good way. The Murano has power lumbar support, letting you melt in the seat as much as you wish. Better lateral support in the Murano as well.

Driving position & visibility

Driving position in the RAV-4 was not ideal- I felt like the steering wheel was too far away. This was noted in C&D and Consumer reports reviews, and I agree totally.

Quietness

I am not saying the RAV-4 is noisy, but it is much more so than the Murano.

This review was originally a two-car comparison review. Read the other half here.
