Used 2007 Toyota RAV4 Consumer Reviews
More than I expected
The V6 is blast, fast and responsive. MPG on first five tanks, 22.5, 23.5, 22.0, 23.0 and 24.5. The 24.5 was a full tank at 50-80 mph, the others where a mix of city and hwy. Interior is roomy, well put together, and very comfortable. Heated leather seats are very nice, moonroof, 9 spkr JBL, bluetooth, mp3, all add to the very nice driving experience. Although the brakes are competent, they feel soft when braking from high speeds. Not enough to worry about them working or not. If you test drive one of these, open the two rear passenger windows at freeway speeds. It gets loud, a reason why you should consider getting the moonroof as I did. All in all, well worth the money spent.
Love this car
This is a great vehicle. I down sized from a Dodge Durango and other than a few of the comforts (heated seats, leather) I don't miss it for a second. The RAV has a smooth ride with guts when needed. I love taking it up to the mountians on ski trips and with all the room there is plenty of room for friends.

Dumb water pump location
I bought my Rav4 used about a year and a half ago. No, problems up until recently. My Rav turned 90,000 miles and I took it in for an oil change and the mechanic told me that the water pump was failing. Normally, this is a pretty simple repair on most cars but for the V6 specific Rav4 the water pump is buried behind the engine and requires the mechanic to lift or drop the engine to get to the water pump. So, it's about a 700-1000 issue to fix and most all V6 Rav's will need this nearing 100,000. Just a heads up! Otherwise, I love my Rav4!
Love my RAV4!
My RAV4 is so fun to drive. It has enough oomph getting on freeway ramps even with the four-cylinder model. I've had great mileage; 22 in town and 27 on the highway. Of course, anything has to be better than the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer I had before. :-) Even with FWD, living in the snowy Midwest, although it's a little squirrelly, I've been able to get around just fine.
