Escape vs Rav 4 review CarExpert

Had a RAV 4 for a hire car when our Outlander was being repaired. Biggest hunk of junk i've ever driven, super basic inside and rides terribly.

Most hire cars are base models aren't they?
so super basic inside and rides terribly is normally a given.
not sure what Outlander you have but the base model would be much the same wouldn't it?

on this review clearly not base model id pick the Rav over the Outlander, s

Reviews are useless to me, I like to actually test drive what I want to buy and decide for myself. The Rav is severely underpowered, It was also 8k more than the Outlander equivalent. When buying a little cheap plastic runaround to not care about, 8k is a lot of money.

Also, that review is on hybrids, we aren't talking about hybrids here.

Edit: The escape is a really nice car to drive and i think the best out of that sized market, x-trail, outlander, Rav 4.

I agree on the personal Test Drive, but I put the review as an example of comparing like for like models.

Inadvertently you did you own review on a Rav4 comparing it to your own Outlander.
but we don't know what year or models you are referring too. I'm sure you do but personally I'm not a mind reader.
