PERFECT CAR FOR A CHICK

this is my mothers car, but i tend to drive this a lot in the winter when it snows. it handles very well in the snow much to my suprise. i feel very safe with the control and traction i get from the 4 wheel drive. trunk space is excellent...i fit a lot of stuff in the back that i thought would never fit. Needs more interior leg room.I tend to be cramped up especially when theres people in the back seat (im 6'1"). There is also a lot of wind noise, cheap dash. I kinda feel funny driving it because its not really my style...This car is definitely a "chick car" but it get does the job done

Well it's auto transmission but this website didn't give me that option to choose. Purchased new in 2000 - now it's 2013. Has never broken down on road, has never had muffler or any other repairs such as transmission or engine work etc. Only regular stuff that has to be changed out every so many miles. No body rust and I live in Michigan with harsh winters and high humidity! They just don't make 'em like they used to. And as far as Toyota making 'em in other countries (incl. the US) I say forget about it. Buy only 100% Japan and you'll have a dependable car for over 13 years.

My 200 RAV4 is now 21 years old and is still going with over 130,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance, there have been no problems, no rust, etc. Drove the car across country 3 times (most recently in 2016). Drove the car every day in rush hour traffic in Washington, DC. until I retired. In a city where "snow" is a four letter word, my little lean, green, driving machine just kept going and going ...... During the city's annual snow storms (3 plus feet), my little car climbed up steep hills/streets while bigger "muscle" trucks sat buried deep in snow drifts. My family is getting concerned about the age of the car and, while I do have an opportunity to buy a newer car (still used - never buy a brand new car) from a family member, I may do that but I really, really do not want to get rid of my RAV4. I can't tell you the number of strangers who have approached me (in a Walmart parking lot no less) wanting to buy my little 21 year old car. My attitude is, "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it".

RAV 4 Ever?

I've had others that were bigger but this one has personality. Even though the 2000 was the last year of this styling, I'm glad I got it when I did. I think the newer models are okay but the 2000 and earlier are set apart. Yes, the pick up is a bit slow - Have you ever found yourself shaking back and forth to try to help it out? - but the truck has heart. I can reach into the backseat without even getting out!

This car is alot of fun to drive. I like the fact that it is still small enough to be like a car yet higher up so that I can see more around me.
