The perfect car for a girl - a snap to maintain, the right size, dependable, good gas mileage, etc. Ravs look their best in white. My ML is in "Diamond White" and I have never seen a white quite like it and will probably be my MB color of choice from now on. I prefer it over a brilliant white but for a young woman this "candy apple" look is just the ticket. Good choice!

thanks ss..it's actually a pearl white.."blizzard pearl" and you're right..dependable, safe, comfortable..good winter car (awd), good on fuel..should serve her well for many years.My other daughter opted for a Honda Civic coupe and I just couldn't talk her out of it (not the most practical) but it will likely be the only opportunity she'll have to own a coupe until she reaches my age...next soon comes the mini van era

Yes, after taking a better look at the front end picture I can see the "pearl" to it. You certainly know how to get them shinny! Interesting how things change. When we are young something like this is perfect but when we get older we want a MB. If truth be told, the Rav would serve me and my needs just as well as my ML 350 - and at half the price. Nonetheless, when it comes time to trade I won't even consider a Toyota and will head straight back to my MB dealer. I wonder if we really do get smarter as we get older!?!

We bought an '08 for my elderly in-laws 2 years ago and they love it. We are now looking at getting another '15 Rav4 to replace their '01 Camry. W/ the sliding 2nd row, it feels like I have more rear seat leg room than in my ML. And as shortspark said, it would serve my "needs" just fine. My wants are a different story. For what I'm paying to lease the ML, could've owned a Rav4 free and clear by now but where's the fun in that?
