So the Mother-in-Law needs a good used AWD SUV to replace her second gen Kia Sportage. She likes the RAV4s, but I’m finding a lot of similar year/similar mile RX350s for not much more money. I’m thinking the 3.5L V6 might be worth the premium on the four banger, plus the RX’s are a much nicer place to be. Educate me on the pros/cons of the 2010-2015 RX’s when compared with 2012-2018 RAV4s.
