Hands down the best car ive ever owned.
Bought this car with 110,000 miles it now has 171,000 and ive maybe put 300 bucks into it aside from tires. I drive it hard - in LA traffic 70 miles a day. It's been rock solid. Underpowered for sure but the only time that's ever annoying is going up a mountain... who cares. My last car was a 2009 Mazda3 and while it was faster and 'cooler' i gotta say that the rav has a more comfortable ride - especially on city roads... it gets the same gas mileage.. it has better visibility... better AC... its easier to park... maintenance and tires are way cheaper... and you can pop a curb if you need to. Maybe the best city car ever created. Oh yea and it's a 4 cylinder toyota it will run forever. I plan on spending money on some minor repairs soon but because i want to not because i need to... it would just keep running. I'm planning on 300,000 miles easy. BUY ONE.

Still Great After All These Years
I bought this RAV just about 5 years ago and have yet to experience one mechanical problem. Exterior is solid and interior has also held up well. Gets decent gas mileage for a little SUV (both city and highway) and I have taken it on long road trips without a problem. Lacks power on mountainous roads and hills, though and I have had it floored to keep up with the Speed Limit in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Great quality overall!
Small, but Big and Peppy Rav4
I have had my RAV 4 for 4 years, and it has NEVER needed any service(other than typical maintance and has been one of the most reliable cars I have owned. It is comfortable, other than the small back seat(not too great for adults),and has alot of cargo room. It also has alot of pep(I have a 5 speed), as much as any sports car I have owned in the past. Great car!!!!
Outstanding Vehicle
We have had our Rav4 for over 3 years. Never needed any service, besides regular maintenance. It would have been nice if Toyota put an extra 1 to 2 feet in length as the back seat hardly has any legroom. We drove across country to San Diego, was there for 6 months and drove back and it performed perfect. If you don't need a lot of room, buy this vehicle. Reliability - Committment to excellence 2023 Our family still owns our Rav 4. In 2013 moved overseas for work and the Rav 4 has 211,000 miles .replaced tires and battery, replaced the front end ball joints, harmonic balancer, radiator and crankshaft seal. Regular oil change 3,000 to 5,000 miles. This year time for a paint job. The clear coat on the hood and roof has almost disappeared. Still till this day a reliable vehicle. All electronics work and engine is still smooth. The best vehicle I have ever owned!
