Our ‪‎Toyota RAV4‬ Adventure & Competition

PR Sample

For hubbie this was a dream come true getting to head off on a #Route125 adventure driving the rather fabulous Toyota RAV4. The boys were equally enthusiastic “I want to stay in this car forever”. I could not believe my luck either. When you are used to travelling in a Nissan Micra the chance to actually stretch out your legs is a welcome luxury!!!

Eldest summed it up with “hundreds of leg space”! Yes it certainly was roomy. I also loved the vantage point, and we seemed to be sitting higher up and had a better view of the road and the world around us! Which helps if your setting off on family adventures. You need to embrace every view and every little detail…

My hubbie is ruined for having done the test drive. He is now sulking desperately, having returned to our car with a heavy heart!  He is missing all the high-tec features the most. The built in SAT-NAV, the electronic boot, being told when to shift gear and controlling the drivers seat electronically! My husband adores gadgets and this car was laden with anything he could possibly need and more. We did have the model with all the extra’s included. It was priced at around £29k. But to see the pure delight in his face it would be worth us starting to save or look at payment plans.

Check Out The Boot Space

As the practical mum I was more interested in the boot space! It was huge! When we holiday we become even more cramped as you can imagine. I think the boot is almost as big as the car we own…

My boys were all about having their own windows they could operate. At the moment, they have tiny windows that do not open on our car, so they were in their element! Youngest after realizing he could control his own window “I can see the birds dance they like our music”. What I did like though was you could also lock the window from the front. So if your children are being silly hanging their arms out or at the stage they want to lob stuff out of the window for kicks (gosh I do not miss not having a toddler anymore) you can lock their window till they behave!

Greenwood Forest Park

Our family adventure was at Greenwood Forest Park. We had a lovely time thanks to Toyota.

When we returned to the car park after our day out I felt a huge sense of pride that the Toyota RAV4 was our car! Even if only for the day.

It just looks so impressive, commending a place on the road. It was a smooth drive, a surprisingly light car to drive. Hubbie thought he would be intimated driving a much bigger car to the one he is used to, but it was a breeze. The big mirrors made seeing around the car a simple and safe process and the reversing camera made manoeuvring a bigger car easy!
