Howdy people of YT! It's been a little over a month/1,600 miles, and I now feel confident in "reviewing" my new 2023 RAV4 Prime XSE.

As before, this will be a completely unprofessional, off the cuff, down to earth assessment of the Prime -- but that's sort of the point. Unlike most other reviews, this is purely for my fun and your information; I don't have any PR bullet points that I'm tracing through, and I'm not borrowing the car -- it's mine and I paid for it, so I can be completely honest with you about my likes and dislikes.

While I'm not much of a car dude, I am a guy with an extensive history (20+ years) of product review experience -- at various major tech and gaming websites -- and technology consulting work, which is my primary gig today. And as such, I do have a unique attention to detail and a critical/diagnostic mindset that helps me to pick these sorts of products apart and condense everything into cohesive thoughts.

So hopefully you like what you see here, but if not... haha, the joke's on you! ;-)
