I agree, but the RAV4 is as servicable as the Lada in the countries where he is going. In fact, at times I saw more RAV4s than Nivas. Subaru is much less present than RAV4 or Lada Niva.
In the end I think the RAV4 will be more reliable and much more comfortable on long distance, for the long driving days.
He is also mentioning Africa. I don't know how to incorporate that in his route at this moment, because it is not easy to make a combination right now.
But I would never recommend doing Africa with a Lada Niva.
Although everything is possible in the end :P
