My freinds like it, I am always the guy to drive when we car pool. The only gripe they have is getting in and out of the back seat. I used to get a negative comment here and there, is that a new RAV-4? It looks like a shoe, the usual. But since I have lifted it and put a winch on the front I get great comments "That thing is bad-***! what is it?" and "I bet that can go some places" and all the people I work with refer to it as "my buggy" which I love!
