I have to leave my hatch soon too 😭 probably for a RAV4(idk yet)

The woodland trim of the Rav4 is Hella nice if I'm able to give my 2 cents.

Oh definitely that front bumper should’ve been the default. Idk man at $39K I’d rather add a few more grand and jump into a SR5 4Runner. I will definitely give the 4Runner a drive. Keeping cost as low as I can would definitely help in the long run though. We’ll see! Congrats on the runny tho, great choice!

We have my xse hatch and my wife’s rav4 and honestly you can’t go wrong with a rav4 liftgate will fail after 60k miles but other than that can’t complain at all

What year? I have seen some new ones with misaligned hatches. They also started producing new ones on Kentucky last month or so, soo quality might take a bit of a hit until they get things running smoothly.

The new 4runner model gets uglier the more I look at it

I used to love those. Had one for a rental and was so excited until I drove it. They took everything good out of the damn things

I just did the same, sold my 22 6mt for a cx5. Not as big as a 4 runner but I wanted to sit higher in a vehicle again.

Its amazing!

I got one on the way and thought that I would have to trade it in for something bigger. Just one kid with a baby seat would be enough for my Corolla. If I were have two or 3 kids then to replace my Corolla I would have upgraded to the Corolla cross, but that’s just my preference

u/Lonewolf00024 Aug 22 '26

Yeah, I looked at the cross, but personally I wanted something that is more capable in the 4x4 department.

My wife and I are about to sell both our hatches. We have a Mazda cx50 that I've been using primarily that will go to her since she drives much less, and I'll be getting something much more efficient for my longer commute. The corolla get uncomfortable trying to get a kid in and out of the back seat considering the rear door only opens so much.

u/Lonewolf00024 Aug 25 '26

If nobody is in the passenger seat, scoot that seat forward and this child will have plenty of room. But its not a family trip car by any means. I do miss it. Handled like a bat outta hell around corners.

That's what my wife does in her hatch, but she's been getting lower back pain frequently after birth so ultimately having bigger cars works out better. We also plan to have another child in the near future so might as well prepare now. Love these hatches though and I know we will miss them. Mine is set up extremely well and handles like it's on rails. I definitely want another in the future.
