Which car is better? Rav4 LE or Rav4 LE Hybrid? I'll be doing most of my driving on the highway and the hybrid only gets an additional 3 mpg on highway but it comes with more standard features than the gas model including rear a/c vents, dual climate control and standard AWD. I also heard the hybrid is quicker than the gas model. Do you think its worth paying an additional $2500 for the hybrid? I heard some negative reviews on both the gas and hybrid versions but the hybrid overall has better reviews. Some customers complain about the 8 speed transmission and dead battery in the gas version and others complain about the fuel tank issue in the hybrid version.
Simple question:
Do you want to keep the car for long time? If yes, then forget the hybrid.
