Toyota is famous for making reliable but boring cars. I rented a C-HR when I was in Texas a couple weeks ago and it was the first Toyota I ever drove that was fun as hell to drive and very comfortable. They only make it in 2wd for 2018 but I might buy or lease one when the awd model comes out in 2019. I loved that damn thing! It looks like a 2 door but its a 4 door.
