    We sent the wagon down the road today. New owner loves it.

    We replaced it with a ‘10 RAV4 Limited, V6 AWD. This little CUV is a sleeper! 269hp, 0-60 in 6-6,4 secs. It scoots! Already named it Canyonero Junior, aka CJ. Wife is happy, dogs are happy.

    Yeah. I thought we would be looking at 4runners, but I had an epiphany when a V6 RAV accidentally was listed as one. I looked them up, the specs, and I showed them to her. She liked the size a lot better and that V6 option is really unique for that class of vehicles.

    We drove a few, V6 2wd, 4 cyl AWD, but the V6 AWD was just a hot buy in my view. We drove a few of its competitors, but the V6 RAV was really unique. The 4cyl version has a 4sp auto, the V6 has a 5sp auto, so even with 100 extra ponies the extra gear brings the V6 within 1 mpg of the 4 cyl, and it feels a LOT more relaxed cruising on the freeway and around town.

    I’m a fairly patient shopper, maybe picky, but my wife is not. ;) One popped up 350 miles away, in NC. It was a central FL car previously, 1 owner. Ran the records, VIN. We had a friend in the area check it out for us (he was the one who bought the wagon today). We cannonballed up past Boone, NC and brought it home. It was an excellent deal.

    So far, just removed the factory pinstripes, the old clear bra. I replaced the battery, got hooked up on new tires, and installed a Sony 2x din CarPlay headunit for her. She loves it. I also removed the heavy FL tint from the front windows.

    I still need to get it over to the detailer to put the final polish on it for her.

    Whatever. My KIA Soul can run circles around it. Just tell me where you’re parked.

    I embarrassed some poor bastard in a 5 series BMW with it. He definitely wasn’t expecting me to to leave him from the stop light, as he was trying to beat me before his lane ended. ;) Reminded me of the time a soccer mom sucked the headlights out of my M3 with her minivan in a similar instance.

    Sacrilege!


    Sounds like the way the new Teslas can beat everything with their ludicrous mode but lack any shred of soul.

    How long before we start modding electric motors?

    Always liked Wagons and can't for the life of me understand when 3rd row wagons were avalible, why people bought mini vans??? I LOVED my (not old then) Ford Taurus Wagons. I'm sure the BMW is OUTSTANDING!!! ENJOY!
