Hello,
My head is addled trying to decide between the two.
On the one hand, I'd like to drive something a tiny bit different (Rav4), and am looking at maybe importing a 2003, 3 door, 1.8NV Rav4.
What I'm worried about is (a) are they really, really small in the back? I rarely have any passengers, but the 3-door version only has 2 seats in the rear and I'm concerned about resale value. (b) how economical or not are they on petrol? Am getting around 39 mpg from current car.
If I go with the corolla, I may get up to a 2004, 5 door hatchback.
Looking at reviews on parkers, the Rav gets 3.5 out of 5 for safety, 5 out of 5 for reliability. The corolla gets 3.5 and 4.5 respectively.
What other pros and cons should I consider to try & narrow it down?
