Comparing Subaru Outback vs. Toyota RAV4

I’m trying to decide between a Subaru Outback and a Toyota RAV4 for my next vehicle. What are the key differences in terms of performance, reliability, fuel efficiency, and features? Any personal experiences or insights on which SUV might be a better choice for a mix of city and off-road driving would be greatly appreciated.

The RAV4 might be a touch peppier for city driving, but the Outback with its standard all-wheel drive could be your off-road champion. Both are reliable and comfy, but the Outback might have more cargo space. The RAV4 might save you money on gas, especially with the hybrid option. Test drive both and see which feels like the better fit for your adventures, on and off the beaten path

I find the OB more fun to drive, especially the XT, cheaper with similar features, more cargo space, less road noise, and superior AWD. Yet, the RAV4 likely excels in long-term reliability and lower lifetime costs, offering hybrid and plug-in options.
