The GTO of SUV's

The sport package with the V-6 was the clincher. The i-4 is more than adequate but the 6 is in a different league; quiet, smooth and very quick. The Rav looks better in "sports wear" as opposed to the Limited's "formal attire". No spare tire on the back of the Sport V-6, is a big plus (run flat tires maybe not so much; we'll see). I've never been crazy about the dash and they're a little stingy w/options. Fit and finish are great and Toyota reliability is tough to beat.
Love my RAV 4

This one was purchased used with just under 100,000 miles and has been more expensive repair wise than my previous matrix with 250,000 miles. The alternator went out right after I purchased it. I think everything has just been normal maintenance though and I have no idea how it was driven prior to my purchase. Overall it is a very comfortable car and has lots of storage in it. I get between 20 mpg in town and up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway. Mine is a 4 wheel drive vehicle. My matrix got 30 miles to a gallon after it had 200,000 miles on it and 42 miles to a gallon new. It was a 2005. I enjoy driving this car. Other than regular oil changes I have only had the alternator repair so far.

A great SUV for the price and size

We compared CRV, RDX and RAV4. The styling and performance of the CRV was less than stellar. The RDX was really cramped feeling in both head and legroom with just OK performance. The RAV4 has much more room and comfort (I'm 6'2"). The V6 is quick and smooth and we are getting around 20+ mpg city. I have seen comments of the RAV being noisy or the seats not comfortable. Don't find that at all. This Sport with appearance pkg. and leather seats is quiet and comfortable--almost making you forget it's a SUV and I am a nitpicker.
RAVES 4 RAV 4!

I purchased used from local Honda dealer. 141,000 miles. I purchased my own Carfax b4 test drive. Checked Edmunds, KBB, and private prices. Negotiated fair deal. My mechanic checked it. All great have not owned 1 month, so no ratings on powertrain/mechanical. The 6 cyl. Is quick, responsive, and Limited version has great std. accessories. Wireless FOB key: only had 1, so it is $300+ to purchase and program from a Toyota dealer...neither ACE hardware, nor private offer this 2009 FOB! Toyota has a closed market on this FOB key. Otherwise, i love this suv! I put all rear seats down and have 2 dogs. Bought suv floor liner and door pads to protect cargo areas...amazon and ebay. Also added Weathertech window and hood accessories, and a set of metallic/rubber red floor mats.

It's exhilarating driving this car as the acceleration is great for a 4 cylinder engine. It gets great gas mileage on the highway-about 35 mpg averaging about 25-26mpg with mixed driving. The car is a little noisy on the highway but with music on its not noticeable. The interior could be better but for a base model its pretty good when compared to the forester or the CRV. Also not to mention the brawlik exterior look if gotten in black.
