I have been using my model Y to save gas and climate change when I use my Lynx, but will not put my Outback on it. For that I have a 2010 Rav4.
Older CRVs and Rav4s had the side swing door which is great for accessing the back if a kayak is on the roof. It helps when I need to get the dog out without moving the yak.
When I researched it, the RAV4 in 2010 and 2011 model years were supposed to be more reliable than similar looking 2007-2008 years as far as oil burning goes. Admittedly I think the CRVs might have a better feel of the road but they switched away from the side swing door earlier.
Subies have that pesky head gasket issue... $$$.
