[quote=Anonymous]Funny I've just spent hours researching some used RAV4s for my kids, so I'll weigh in.  (I'm in Los Angeles and the only criterion for my younger DD is that the car must be able to carry a surfboard inside the car, so the Camry is out for us.)

I'm staring at this month's consumer reports magazine which has ratings for used cars.  (these are all 2016) The RAV4 comes in good at overall score of 73.  The category is Compact SUVs.

The Toyota Camry comes in GREAT at an 83 for the Hybrid and 82 for the regular.  But fyi, it's in a different class, it's in Midsize Cars.

So I'd go to consumerreports.org and sign up and take a look at the rankings, and the safety features.  My older DD almost had me talked into a Jeep Wrangler until I looked at how poorly it handled and the reliability rating and how it wasn't great on side crashes, which was the very type of accident that my DD was in which necessitated me looking for cars in the first place.

Or, you can just decide, what kind of car do you want him to have, a midsize car or a compact SUV?[/quote]
