Re: Need Advice Which Of These Vehicles Would You Guys Reccomend?

Get what you really want and will be happy with. In the end you will be making the payments on this vehicle, and if you pick one just because it has gets votes then you'll have buyers remorse the entire time you own the car/truck.

To me the CR-V and RAV4 are too "cute-ute" for me. The Subaru looks and I'm sure drives like it's very sturdy. The Element seems like it has the room, form and function that you are looking for.

Honda Element - boxy, great for advertising and easy to get tools/equipment in & out
Toyota RAV4 v6 - just because I like Toyota/Lexus, plus v6 power

Re: Need Advice Which Of These Vehicles Would You Guys Reccomend?

The element is my top pick. Mom used to have one. It wasnt practical when she had it when we were younger because only having 4 seats didnt allow much space for our friends but for what you are looking for it sounds like the best pick.
