No hood or mirror shake on my 2014.
AWD is one of those things that is worth its weight in gold the few times you need it.
Plenty of cargo room.
I was interested in the Rav4, but the lack of IIHS crash testing info and the fake leather were turn offs for me.
First rock chip in the hood. 9 days of ownership and 300 miles on the odo.
Small and barely noticeable, but when you hand wash weekly you notice every little mark.
According to the service manual you have to remove the fuse/relay box to get to the left headlight bulb and you need to remove the washer tank bracket to get to the right headlight bulb.
Covers and igniters are both turned counter clockwise to remove.
No other cautions listed in the manual...
Picked them up on Ebay. Was the best price/shipping combo I was able to find.

+1 on the armrest. Just a little too low for me.
As for the rain sensing wipers not reactivating quickly, my car does the same thing. I found that a quick adjustment of the sensitivity dial on the stalk will trigger them immediately and get them going. Tried it in the CX-5 last night and it...
My understanding is that the factory tint on the rear windows is 20%. We did 20% on the front windows of the Tribute to match the rear and it looked perfect (match wise). My wife thought the 20% was just a little too dark at night as far as visibility.
There was no factory tint on the front...
