Picked it up last week, took 4 months.
Haven't really had a chance to drive it. Moving on from a 2017 Nissan Qashqai...
Initial impressions
- Honda Jewel Eye headlights. Never really a fan of them, preferred Morimoto H11b HID projector kit installed on the Qashqai
- Underbelly and wheelwells have fabric(?) covers with pushpins installed ... It's like hard felt? I'd imagine this shit would gather and retain water and dirt like mad...
- Push button start seems to be a bit hidden?
- Hate the front end
- Rear windows + rear glass come tinted pretty dark (25%?) ...
Just like the damn Volvo XC90, I can't quite figure out the jack + jack stand points...  ... I mean, I can find one spot per wheel area, but then, if I use that, there's no spot for the jackstand... So for now I'm doing unsafe tire changes...

I ordered a new mazda cx9 in October... projecting to arrive in march or april. The wait sucks but the cx50 wait is over 1 year currently. picked up a used '21 in late November and it's been great wireless apple car play is garbage, not sure if it's a apple thing or a Mazda thing....

it's not just RAV4, the wait time to buy new cars are just crazy long. BTW, welcome back.
Maybe they're ushering us into the self-drive future ... yuk
