Ditto here. The Rav4 (mine is a 2007 as well) is remarkably roomy with the back seat folded flat. Each of my bikes (a road/drop bar or hybrid/flat bar) will fit while lying on their side-without removing the wheel.

I've also owned a Forester (2002) but it did not have the head room that the RAV has. However, the design has changed since then; I believe the newer models are larger than they used to be.

The main reason I bought the RAV this time was because an assembled large dog crate fits easily in the back. I could not get one in the '07 Forester or Outback wagon.
