The Bottom Line: Great small sized SUV which is fun to drive and is virtually problem free.

Review: We've owned the Rav for five years now and I have to say that this is one of the best cars ever made! We purchased the Rav 4 after viewing many other SUVs. WE chose the Rav because it had a smooth ride, the back seat wasn't tiny, the leather seats ...

The Bottom Line: Excellent Small SUV for those who communte to work on Tar Covered routes needing great gas mileage, relibility, quality and some style.

Review: I was having bit too many 'Gremlins' attacking my Subaru Forester and decided to trade it in while it was still worth something. I already had the RAV4 in mind, because it was one of the three small SUVs I was considering back in 2002 (The other was the ...

Cons: Limited engine power, Hatch opens on the wrong side

Review: I wanted a small SUV with good craftsmanship and gets good mileage. I looked at all the car in the small SUV class. These are the reasons I picked RAV4, and the one thing I didn't like about it.

Fun to Drive
The RAV4 is...

Pros: Always fun to drive

Cons: MPG not what I expected

The Bottom Line: I would buy this again, but I would give more scrutiny to the Honda CRV.

Review: This is a review for the 2003 model. The cost shown includes a $2000 trade-in and all the taxes and fees (Washington state).

I started my new car search, getting away from sedans, to looking at pickups. I needed more flexibility in storage...

Pros: Comfortable, responsive handling. Excellent mileage. Exterior/interior design is top quality.

Cons: Wish the engine had a little more gusto, but better mpg is worth it.

The Bottom Line: The RAV4 accomplishes what it was made for, a good comfortable, enjoyable ride, with some practical storage space, but it's not for off-roading.

Review: I haven't even gone 3K miles yet, but so far so good. Very impressed with the RAV4's handling. It is a very comfortable car to drive, with ergonomically-designed seats which are nice to sit in. Wish the middle arm rest was a tad higher, but not a...

Pros: Good gas mileage, Roomy, Stylish

Cons: Noisy highway traveling

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend the Toyota RAV4 to anyone looking for something large than your typical car but doesn't want to go the caravan route.

Review: We needed something with more space than your typical car, but didn't want a caravan so we settled on a small SUV. When shopping for one SUV it came down to this model or the Honda CR-V. We choose the RAV4 for a few reasons. It was more sporty...

Pros: Fun to drive Roomy

Cons: None so far

The Bottom Line: Go for it!

Review: I have had my Rav4 since October and absolutely love it! After a year of admiring from a far, I finally broke down and traded for one. That was the best thing I have done in quite some time! My Rav is very roomy. I have a 11 month old grand son who...

Pros: small, peppy, tidy package, good gas mileage

Cons: not much leg room in the back seat, extras are expensive, no keyless entry

The Bottom Line: It's worth the extra money for the piece of mind knowing you are getting the Toyota quality.

Review: This is my first Toyota and I am very pleased all the way around. The dealership experience was non pressured, very easy and very helpful.
I bought the Frosted white, 2WD with the quick order "L" package. Extras do add up fast. I looked at a few...

Pros: Great gas mileage.

Cons: Smaller back seat with car seats.

Review: We bought ours when it was a year old and had 15k miles on it. It has just passed 100k miles and is still going strong. We still get nearly 25 mpg with ours. We've done all the minor keep up and have had absolutely no big problems with ours at all. The ...
