car guys hate them because they're tall cars made intentionally boring. Longer, slower steering racks, gentle suspension, no body rigidity, usually a regular car engine in a heavier chassis mated to an uninspiring automatic transmission, and boring soft exterior styling to match everything inside

CR-Vs and Rav4s are great appliances, very reliable and functional, but as a toy they're even lamer than a bone stock modern corolla

e: also the "AWD" set up is usually a joke, FWD with computers that allow the rear wheels to be powered occasionally

This is true. I have a vw Tiguan that's basically a chonkier vw rabbit. But, it fits my tall kids in the backseat no problem and I can toss a bike in the back without having to take it all apart.

The awd option is a joke like you said. It can be disabled by pulling out a fuse.

First thing I do when driving in the winter is turn off the traction control. I prefer to know how my vehicle is going to react to slippery/mixed conditions, rather than have my car's idiot computer randomly throw varying amounts of power to random tires, totally negating any manner of braking/steering I'm currently engaged in.

Imagine if your go button was electric instead so you saved the fuel for sticker waggler lovers

That would be cool, unless your store is 300 miles away

omg don't buy an rx7 to rally/rx in. I seen literally every single one at our track blow up last year in some fashion (3 of them lol). Even the Audis and the Porsche 944 outlast them

I wanted to like the new Ranger but it loving sucks. Toyota's 4Runner and Taco are great.

I search the car section priced low to high so I can daydream about doing neutral drops in a 300 dollar shitbox until the transmission falls out.
