    Toyota's RAV4 order books are full to bursting and wait times are blowing out to 18 months or more, but that hasn't stopped people continuing to register their interest to buy one of these insanely popular mid‑sized SUVs.And it's no surprise because the RAV4 makes a lot of sense as a comfortable family 2WD wagon.But in a highly competitive market has this medium SUV lost its shine?

    The top‑of‑the‑line model for Mazda's largest SUV is a stunning entry and showcases serious style in a market where SUVs can lean towards boxy and rugged. For those wanting the practicality and space of an SUV but something that feels elegant, this might just be the ticket.
