I'm thinking about getting a Rav 4, but the major thing that scares me is the side swinging rear door. As an example, let's say you've just bought a ton of groceries at the supermarket and are loading your groceries into the back of the truck with the rear side swinging door swung out 90 degrees...all of a sudden, some idiot driver is not paying attention and slams into your back door (while you're still loading your groceries). In theory, that back door is going to slam into you and snap you in half!!! Am I missing something? Isn't this a fatal design flaw??? I like the Rav 4, but I can't get over the thought of someone hitting the swing out rear door while I'm loading. Am I missing something?
