Ford won't lease and I don't wanna buy. Lease rates are better than loans.

However, hope in the end you get what's right and hope you like it
.I like Vdubs, (owned several) but I wouldn't go any where near them myself.
Dealer network is the absolute worst in the business, if you do a little research.
re Leasing......
If you find something you like but they don't lease,
there are 3rd party leasing companies.
What about Subi Forester Sam?
IDK how they fit the price point, but they're a little cleaner looking than they used to be.

We had to retire a six year old Montana and purchased a Toyota Sienna. It's not the Rav4, but with four kids we have no choice but to have a van. I can say it's been 2+ years and have had no problems, the vehicle does what it's supposed to do and we're quite happy with it.

Now I'm thinking we should go for the 6 cyl, but ...........
4 - 179 hp / 172 lb ft torque / 4 speed OD tranny 9.7/7.2/8.6 L/100Km
6 - 269 hp / 246 lb ft torque / 5 speed OD tranny 11.1/7.7/9.6 L/100Km
The six seems a little thirsty in the city.

I don't think 11.1 is that bad. For an suv with 269 horse and is pretty quick I think 11.1 is doable. Better than the G in the city and it takes 87 instead of premium.
I say if you're going to go for the rav4 you should probably go for the 6. Unless you don't plan to ever drive it and it's just going to be the wife's? She probably won't care about how fast it is.

Sam, the extra torque of the 6 is nice too when you have it loaded up with the wife, kids, and the trusty dawg and a few things in the boot.

Hadn't even thought bout that, just about speed. You're so right Wayne. Good convincing point. If we want to take that dog around the city with us "We need the Torque." Yes.
