2011 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4

Very expensive.
2009 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4

During Cash for Clunkers Subarus had limited incentives compared to other vehicles normally selling at a higher price point and with more content.
2007 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
$33,000 starting price. For what amounts to a nice station wagon.
2007 4dr Wagon 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Very high resale values and popularity make the car very popular for resales. Unfortunately the vehicle has a higher sticker price. This is easily offset in the long run on reliability.
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Damn, it was expensive (one year old and cost $24K, original price something like $32.5K) but you get what you pay for I think.
2003 4dr Wagon 212-horsepower 3.0L H6
4-speed automatic AWD
High price for its class

2011 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4

Price was high, dealer did not offer much of a discount or was willing to work with me on my trade-in
2011 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
A base RAV4 is quite inexpensive. Fully optioned, the price can balloon by a third.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
No incentives
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6

V6 more. Not a fair comparison.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
A bit more than the crv, didnt want to wait 3 monthes for a custom built one from toyo corp since brother works there.
2007 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
Too pricey compared to a Honda.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
Almost $5000 more than a comparably equipped Santa Fe. Depreciation will be better, but I tend to keep cars long term so upfront pricing matters to me.
2006 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
Significantly higher price than comparable vehicles.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
The vehicle is somewhat expensive, but the value is high because it offers alot for that money.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Little more expensive than some competitors and no great financing rates either. I guess since the car is popular they know people will pay the extra.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I have always thought that cars are way more expensive than they need to be. Toyota tends to be more expensive that most.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
The RAV4 was a bit more expensive than comparable cars.
