2020 Toyota RAV4 After One Year | More Good than Bad The Adventurous Driver 2021-02-14 | This is a one year review. If you have watched my previous review video, it's mostly the same, skip to the "Issues" section at 30:15. The format is largely the same although I've tried to make it sound "less negative", even though the previous video wasn't meant to be negative at all.
Driving from Fort Ross to San Jose | Driving on S.R. 1 Southbound at Night The Adventurous Driver 2021-01-31 | Begins with departure from Fort Ross, all the way down S.R. 1 to San Francisco, totaling 94 miles of curvy roads in the dark. After a stop in San Francisco visiting Tom and Jerry's house at around 59:00, remainder of the trip is returning to San Jose. This video is a bit long, but I chose to combine all night driving footages. S.R. 1 transitions to highway at 52:00.I do not recommend doing this at night since it's tiring and visibility is low. We're talking about 150+ miles of twisty roads if you start from Mendocino. Only reason why this was done are the few viewpoints along the way and avoid traffic, which was a mistake. The key is to start early and go up S.R. 1 during the morning/day and head down back to the Bay Area via U.S. 101 SB.

2020 Toyota RAV4 Owners Review | Master of None The Adventurous Driver 2020-04-12 | This is an in-depth review of a 2020 Toyota RAV4 XLE by an owner was filmed in late March. I cover many aspects of the new RAV4. Turns out that I was one of the 450,000 people who bought one last year, in 2019. It's been a very good car so far, definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the older model, but that's not a strong compliment. The TNGA-K platform helped with the ride and handling, but the new RAV4 still has many small nooks and crannies that need improvement, the biggest being cabin noise.Video shot via a borrowed GoPro Hero 5 Black from school during my lunch break at work. I will worry about better production quality when time comes. Thanks for the support.Time Stamps:00:13 Introduction00:43 Exterior09:48 Interior (Front)19:26 Infotainment22:20 Interior (Rear)24:25 Visibility24:57 Rear cargo space26:05 Engine30:38 Transmission32:12 Suspension33:15 Pricing37:21 Miscellaneous opinions38:50 Pros and cons/final verdict
