I don't like Honda's interior - It has an outdated feel to it (IMO) and I don't like the leather or cloth they use on the seating surfaces. I do like the huge cubby between the two front seats, though.
The previous Rav4 had the same lock button. It is still a part time system with no ability to send a substantial amount of power to the rear.
