<font color=navy>I have one, and it's great for our family. I got a very basic one in 1997 - has a/c and power steering, and that's about it. We have a rack on top, and I've taken it camping several times, and on trips to El Paso (about a 12 hour drive) a few times, too.
I get about 23 miles to the gallon, and it takes 13 gallons.
I'm only 5' - so it's perfect.
However, the tall ones would find it cramped (just ask Dan Murphy

).
It also isn't as quiet as the more luxury cars - I mean, the car itself is great, but you can hear the outside noise --- as opposed to my dad's Avalon that kind of just surrounds you in comfort & quiet, unless you're playing the radio or something.
I'm satisfied with my little RAV-4.
