And best of all, Toyota’s top safety features are standard. The average car on the road is 11.6 years old, which makes me well above average. My 2003 Dodge Durango turned 14 this year. When I got a chance to take a 2017 Toyota RAV4 on a road trip, I felt a little like Rip…

December 9, 2015 by Scotty Reiss Leave a Comment

This is big. The only small hybrid SUV on the road gets up to 33MPG. YAY! I feel like the five year old who, upon her first time meeting him, says to Santa Claus, “I’ve been waiting all my life to meet you!” Of course, that’s funny because she’s so young and five years isn’t that long,…
