Did some test driving today. I'm looking for a small SUV because, well, I live in upstate New York and the winters are six months long. But I don't need something as big as an explorer.
I test drove the following today:
Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, Hyundai Santa Fe and Ford Escape.
On first impressions I didn't care much for the Forester at all. The Toyota wasn't bad but the driver area was a little cramped.
At this point I've probably narrowed it down to either the Santa Fe or the Escape.
The Escape was a little more truck-like, in both good ways and bad. The Hyundai was a little smoother but I'm not sure I like the more bulbous design of the vehicle.
