Any change in the seats?

The "J" VIN is enticing

I can confirm that it is much quieter. I had a 2010 Sport with run flats, so that was probably the loudest Rav you could get, road noise wise.

The 2013 XLE is quieter in both engine and road noise, a smoother experience overall. The new transmission, especially in Sport mode is quite fun and feels quicker than my old 2010.

The seats are more sport oriented and do hold you in better. It is less flat and the side bolsters hug you more. We'll see how they do on long distances, but I feel they are an improvement.

I had my doubts about the 2013, but now so anxious to test drive! Especially today, as my 09 is in the body shop and I'm stuck with a rental Dodge Grotesque, I mean Caliber.
