Reliability; Toyota and Honda are consistently the top two. Then Subaru and Nissan. Toyota and Honda have a tendency to be underpowered, even with a standard shift. But, if bucking high winds and acceleration is not a consistent concern, the RAV and CRV are good for hauling. It can make a difference where the vehicle is assembled, Japan or North America. Subaru has a spotty record. Some years and models are more reliable than others. Unless you own the appropriate computer, it is hard to do your own repairs on any of the newer cars.
