If the third row seat is gone, there can be more leg room in the front and back seat. And finally, the dash is a mess. It looks odd and who thought that it was a good idea to place the power mirror controls on the middle seperation compartment between the front seats.

Totally agree on the size. The Rav4 is too big imo. Though I like the wheel on the back. It gives you more interior room as you don't have to raise the rear floor to accommodate the spare. And regardless having the spare in the hatch or not, insurance isn't going to be cheap. Its a SUV and its deemed as high risk for rollovers. Its the rollover that jacks up the insurance, not the wheel. And almost NO SUV has the sliding rear glass. The old 4runners were only the few ones that had it. And I believe the front two row of seats are the same regardless of the 3rd row? Also they don't sell the car with third row anymore, so that's effectively a moot point.
