Just how inclement is your inclement weather that your RAV got stuck after 5 feet? I take it you don't have studded tires (alas, why would you)? I once fancied to have a RAV, and the notion that it can't navigate snow well is breaking my perhaps faulty opinion of the vehicle's capabilities.

Of course, after I found the wonderful world of the $2000 beater 4WD subaru GL/loyale wagon, I could never spend more than $2000 on any other vehicle that could only have diminished capabilities. Cup holders would be nice, though...
