Hello everyone,
I'm new on this forum, and I've read a lot of discussions during last few weeks. Thanks for all the informations.
I am considering seriously the RAV4 Hybrid to replace my Golf Wagon TDI (buyback didn't start yet in Canada). I did a great test drive during 150 km with the RAV4 Hybrid XLE and I liked what I saw. Enough power for what I need, great driver seat (my back loved it), great mpg, descent AWD (not as good as the 4MOTION VW I've tested but will be fine).
I live in Canada so I need to decide between LE+ and XLE. The price difference is 1500$. Maybe not a big difference but because the price is already higher for my initial budget, I'm trying to cut somewhere if it is possible. Other options I will install are a hitch and a block heater (getting -20/-30 C during winter so i'ts very usefull and I'm addict to black heater
Also, I often use a cargo box and bike racks on the roof (already have thule kit and accessories that will fit on the RAV4), so the power sunroof might not be very usefull in my case.
Would like to have your opinions, would you pay 1500$ more for those options? Or another way to ask the question, would you miss one (or more) of these options if you didn't have it?
- Power Back Door
- Power Moonroof
- Blind Spot Monitor
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel
- Chrome Inner Door Handles
- Scuff Plates
Thanks for your feedback. I know it's a personnal choice at the end but all comments are welcome.
EDIT : Both LE+ and XLE comes with front heated seats, heated windshield (for wipers), fog light, adaptive cruise control, lane assist and others security features (except blind spot monitor and rear cross trafic alert).
