Find a 2009-2012 rav4. The v6 with lower gear ratio of those years and awd makes for a very fun small suv. I average 23mpg driving 70 miles round trip every day for work. Bought it at 120k miles in 2016 and it’s currently nearing 260k miles.

Very comfortable seats, second row slides and reclines, large cargo area with a very large hidden compartment underneath due to the full size spare mounted on the back swing gate. Towing capacity of 3500lbs.

My biggest complaint about it (and all Toyotas) is the cupholders. They come with a rubber boot to put in the cupholder to fit a cup better. They constantly get stuck on the bottom of cups and we’ve been lucky to catch ourselves every time we’re about to throw one away at a gas station. And then if your cup is tall it interferes with the dash above it and your cup doesn’t fit. They’re also positioned where the cups block the seat warmer buttons, a small cubby, and a 12v plug.

I’ve not taken great care of mine and it just keeps taking a beating. Oil gets changed when I get time to do it, I’ve taken it accidentally down mud roads and had to rip the bumper off to keep the wheels wells clear, I hit two deer with it last spring a month apart and insurance paid out $6k to have it repaired along with my deposit, hit another deer with it last week, and about 10 miles of my daily commute is on washboarded gravel roads.
