Sadly, though not my first Toyota, this will be my last. I had to replace my engine due to a hose failure. No recall on this part, but they changed the design in 2009.... wonder why...mmm. I take good care of my vehicles and got regular oil changes. This has become the most expensive car I have ever owned. And I bought it because of the Toyota reputation.
Well named Sport with V-6

Just gave up our 10-year old (we bought it new), 145,000 mile 2008 RAV4 Sport with the V-6 engine. Since it was a Sport it didn't have the cushy ride of the Limited, but we knew that going in, and it excelled in the TN/NC mountains' twisting roads. The V-6 was well worth it - had much, much more punch than we expected, which paid off time and again merging onto busy freeways and passing on 2-lane rural highways. The cargo space with the seats down was best in class and ample for us and our camping gear. We never had a problem with it, would have kept it longer, but figured it was time for a self-reward, so let it go . . . (after a LOT of online comparing of compact SUVs, from the BMW X3 to the Honda CRV to the Subaru Forester and others) . . . for another RAV4!

I like this SUV, more comfortable and fun to drive. I have Sport V6 with 3.5 L, excellent pickup.
Research paid off

I put in a lot of time and researched all the available makes and models, both hybrid and gas, that would satisfy my current needs. Based on the MPG, reliability, looks and price the RAV4 edged out the Honda CR-V. Now that I have had the car for several weeks I am thrilled that I decided on the RAV4. The V6 is surprisingly powerful and quick for the MPG that you actually get. We are averaging 25.3 MPG so far. The sport model has larger rims and tires with fender well moldings that really make a difference in the overall look of the vehicle. The interior is very well thought out and convenient. As I drive around and look at the other new cars on the road I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Loving my Rav 4

At 1 year old, I still love my Rav 4. The Barcelona red color is gorgeous. I would buy it again. My parents want one in 4WD for the mountains. Test drove the Mitsubishi Outlander but the Rav 4 blew it away in performance and quality. I ordered the bumper guard to protect the very deep rear bumper and the vinyl cargo tray.
