Overall a good "cute SUV". Haven't had any problems with it. Only getting 20mpg. Kind of weak accelerating, but it's not supposed to be a sports car. The rear seats remove easily for hauling medium size stuff (bikes, etc.). Body design is a major improvement over previous models.

Best compact SUV

If you want a speed/handling, car-based SUV with very good fuel-economy and the very best driver's seat-comfort/support, the newer-model-year RAV4 is far ahead of the rest of 'em. Toyota has a penchant for the best and the brightest cars/SUVs and trucks. This one again makes its nearest competitors, Ford's Escape/Mazda's Tribute into also-rans.

It's All That!

This SUV has class and quality I've never experienced. The four years plus of owning this vehicle, the only issue I've ever had with it is taking it in for its required maintenance. I don't think I can ever get a better quality and more affortable vehicle unless it's a Toyota. The only reason I am departing from it is that I need more room due to medical issues, which leads me to the new 2006 that has more room. I haven't checked it out yet but if the driver seat gives me more room, then Toyota has won me over again. I will never purchase another motor vehicle outside of Toyota. I hate having to give my SUV up, but I feel like I am getting a big promotion to what Toyota has to offer me next.

The car is great to drive. It handles exceptionally and is actually quite high off the ground.

Rave on Rav4

Great car to buzz around the city in. It's height gives you an advantage compared to a sedan, and the turning radius combined with a compact body makes tough parking a breeze. The AWD has a great impact on winter roads and you feel very safe/grounded.
