or

2. Altitude 2wd Auto (no safety pack) $35270 driveaway.

whats included in the safety pack ?

The safety pack is on the airbags (side curtain) for the rear passengers.

imo get the one with more safety, after all safety first :]

I too would prefer the additional airbags for the rear passengers. but not sure if that's a reasonable price to pay ... $34990.00

I see no point getting the 2WD Rav4. It's pretty much a Camry with a higher ride height. Either get the AWD version or don't get the Rav4 IMO

this rav4 will be a family car driven by missus and will not go off-road, and want to make use of the 3.9% financing while using the cash in the homeloan account :)

so does not want to spend in excess of $35k.

Check how long the 3.9% goes for, from memory it is only 2 yrs.

Have you considered used. I have stumbled across a few cruisers recently a couple of yrs old, 50K on the clock around $25,000.

You're better off getting used Rav4 then buying a new 2WD one.

The sales people will tell you that the 2wd are more popular in the city's. They also told us pay a little less now and take a little less later. I think it may be a lot less all the same. Do your homework and search RAV's on carsales/redbook etc and see how many used 2WD are on the market and how much less.
