Solid car! Would recommend

Full disclosure, I only had this car for 5 months. But, for those 5 months it was awesome, everything worked great and I drove it 8,000 miles with nearly no problems. The cons are, mine never seemed to stop blowing air at least slightly, even when turned off, at whatever heat it’s set at, however, it was hardly noticeable. I also had some engine filter thing break but the repair was only $150, it’s also an uncommon problem. Otherwise, just slight road noise and a gas tank that’s a little small. The pros are, it’s super reliable, great gas mileage, a very long life time, lots of Space, seats move around easily, pretty comfortable, good enough off road, and an aux cord (huge for me). In the end, I totaled it in the snow, but no car could have survived the weak highway plowing capabilities of northern Virginia, I don’t blame the car. Would highly recommend this car.

I love my 2009 Rav4 with V6

I leased a red Canadian built RAV 4 with the V6. This vehicle provides phenomenal power, styling, comfort and economy. On the highway the RAV is ultra smooth, especially between 65 and 70mph (110 to120k/hr). The interior is extremely spacious with plenty of headroom and lots of storage. I recommend the 270 horsepower V6. Amazing acceleration, however great fuel economy. I chose the flashy red exterior for a sporty look. This is the best crossover SUV in its class. I highly recommend this vehicle. Thank you.

Most reliable and all-round useful vehicle I have ever owned. So satisfied that I bought a new 2018 model.

A Thrilling Ride

The Rav4 6 cyl. is a solid little car that is really fun to drive. The car is comfortable with plenty of interior room and gives a sense of security to be able to pass with power to spare.

Rav-4 09 Limited -Poor Paint

Leather interior is nice, gas mileage is not as good as they make it out to be, Toyota has put company profit's above safety and apparently quality and control. The recalls issued has not mentioned the exterior paint my vehicle is 9 months old and has over 40 chips and counting in the black metallic paint, I'm not alone with this complaint but Toyota, will not stand behind the quality of their paint work, they are blaming the new Chipped paint on the road environment. My other non-Toyota products did not have this issue. By time its paid off I will have more touch-up paint than factory paint on my New Rav-4.
