Its been a very long time since I bought the same car twice, but I have just swapped my RAV4 for another new RAV4. Its near as damn it identical but the lease was up and I couldn't think of anything that does what I need better.

Nice to drive, quickish and responsive, comfortable, full specification, big boot with a spare tyre, 4wd, exceptional safety ratings and works very well on company car tax and advisory fuel rate reimbursement due to its frugal yet (rare now) larger engine attracting higher pence per mile.
I know its not a high mileage but it had worked hard for its living, my old RAV went back at 65K looking and running like new having zero issues ever.

No. 1 for a reason.  Many reasons.
