Car Shopping

When I graduate this class, and get my bonus... it's going to a new car. I don't care if I'm deploying, I am SO ready to get rid of the one I have. I'll be able to afford it.

So, anyway, the serious contender is the RAV4. A new one.

Anyone have any comments? So far all the reviews (both expert and driver) seem good.

Brian is in the 6'3''/6'4'' range, but definitely meets military weight class. I am planning to buy new, because I'm planning to drive into the ground.

Depending on who plans to drive it obviously, but you may want to get a guy to be a size model for you.

I took my dad car shopping. In a large part becase he's 6'4, and if he didn't fit in the car, then the car was too small.

I'm not likely to run into any guys significantly taller, and I do a lot of carpooling.

You may want to check if there are any 1 or 2 year old Rav4's floating around. Close to new and you save a good chunck of the initial depreciation, but keep the warrenty.
