Any know-it-alls driven a recent rav4 or Forrester? Debating between the two.

Not driven the forrester but I am a toyota man through and through.  Do the regular maintenance and it will never let you down.  I've had two corrollas and now have a 2006 Highlander Hybrid...it's my favorite car of all time.

Had an Outback rental.  Mediocre handling, medoicre braking and poor acceleration.  Very ugly interior.  I am sure the forester is similar.  I guess at least with the Subaru the gas pedal won't stick.   Test drive them both and choose which one you like best.  Really the only Japanese car company with decent vehicles is Infiniti.

I have had so many bad rental cars.  Back in 2001 had a Ford Mustang that fish tailedtailed in light rain.  Hyundai, fordis, and GMCs seem to make the worst cars.  I rented a 350Z Nissan in Vegas and averaged over 100 mph from Vegas to grand canyon.  Fun car.  The rentals in Europe seem to be so much better.  In a lot of places in the US it is impossible to get a decent rental.

back when the PT was still new, i flew up to Toronto for a friend's wedding.  i really wanted to try the PT so i paid extra to rent one.  got on the highway and promptly turned around at the first exit, went back to the airport and made them give me another car.  worse driving experience i have ever had.  it was unpleasant to drive.  dunno how you do that.

My mother purchased a PT Cruiser, I drove it once, and was completely dumbfounded why anyone who had ever test-drove the vehicle would've elected to purchase it. Worst car I ever drove.

I'm surprised you didn't disown your mother for purchasing a PT Cruiser.

as ar as i can tell the only thing the PT has going for it is its looks.  looks like something one straps a surfboard to and goes to the beach with.put some flames on it and your have a poor man's version of those cars in ZZ Top videos.  it was its looks that made me want to try it.  too bad that's the only thing it had going for it.
