Are there any XV owners on here? I just had the misfortune to drive from newcastle to norwich and back in my wifes RAV4 (2012) i have never really driven it much before. I have never been so uncomfortable in a car. No matter how i adjusted things. A few months ago i did the same trip in the 2007 outback that has since been sold with absolutely no probelms.
This morning I am surfing the auto trader and a couple of 2013/14 XV have come up with 1.6 petrol motors. What are the seats like and how do they ride? Grateful for any feeback

I have the same seats in my Legacy and 90,000km later my arse print is nicely printed into them. My wifes uncle has an XV. The 2.0i is the one to go for with a little extra ooomph to overtake a truck etc. The 4wd system is excellent and they are very capable machines in the bad weather. Alot of them sold out here in Switzerland. great machine.

Haven't really progressed it any further yet, still scouring the auto trader!
