Used 2007 Toyota RAV4 Consumer Reviews
She is a keeper
This is my first Toyota, and so far, I am very pleased with it. Traded in my 1999 Honda CR-V for it, and it is so much bigger. Much more power and smoother ride then the Honda. Hope the longevity in quality is as good as the Honda. Amazing how little difference there is in MPG between the two, seeing how the Toyota has a 6cyl engine and the Honda had a 4cyl.
Fun and Fast
I wanted an SUV that gets better mileage than the big ones and still have the room for trips and hauling stuff. I tow my 2 snowmobiles so this was perfect since it will handle 3500 lbs. I have been getting about 25 mpg and have not had any problem after 6 months and 6k. It has surpassed all my expectations and is fun to drive and it gets down the road in a hurry. Highly recommend it.

Cute and Sporty
I test drove the Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, Subaru Outback, Saturn Vue, and the Hyundai Tucson. I decided on the RAV because of Toyota reliability and the fact that it's so cute! I have the light blue metallic. Sharp! I am coming from driving a Ford Explorer for 10 years, and loved it. It had all the bells and whistles, but fuel economy prevailed and I finally traded it in with 125,000 miles on it. The RAV is fun to drive and my big teenage boys say the back seat is roomier and more comfy than the Explorer. Love the MP3 hookup and the rear door doesn't bother me. I really wish the driver seat had more adjustment features. We are getting about 23 mpg. Not bad. Have to break it in more.
Love it
We love this car. Consistently get 24 mpg if I keep it under 80. It handles like a sports car, very quick. Interior layout is the most convenient, cup holders are up front for easy access. Don't like where Toyota put the cruise control & road noise is a little excessive but tolerable. We are currently looking for another one for my wife.
The choice was fairly easy
Before we started shopping, we had our choice narrowed down to the Rav or the Honda CR-v. After driving each of them, the choice was simple. The Rav was quieter on the highway, less road and wind noise. Takes bumps great, and we hit 70 mph in no time. This is for our daughter in college, so we chose the base model, figuring her friends would probably borrow it, and it would be parked in lots where nicks would be inevitable. If you don't need a moonroof and auto climate control, the base model is fine. She uses the iPod hookup most of the time, so didn't need the 6 disc changer. The radio on the base is plenty good, and still has 6 speakers. 4 cylinder seems to be peppy and very responsive.
