After having both a 2002 and 2004 CRV, I bought a 2007 RAV4 with the V6. It had greater usable cargo space and the V6 got 22mpg when the 2 CRV's never got over 21mpg with a 4 cyl. The 2007 RAV4 got totaled in an accident, so since I was very happy with it, I bought another identical V6 4x4 base model. I bought it with a Toyota trailer hitch and I have no problem towing a 8x5 Big Tex trailer loaded with a John Deere 2320 tractor plus 3 Labs in the back cargo area in 3 large dog kennels every week 80 miles to a farm I own in the next county over. The total weight of the trailer and Tractor is 2850lbs. I still get 16 mpg with that load and the power and braking are more than adequate.
awesome car, glad I got v6 and 4x4

We are a toyota family, going back to 1966 and my dad's 67 Corona. I couldn't decide between the forester, rav4 and the honda crv. What convinced me to get my rav4 was that it was the only one with a v6. We just drove our rav4 to Palm Springs, California and back, from Tacoma. We had 4 people and at least 500 pounds of climbing gear both inside the car, and on top of the rack. We averaged around 21 to 23 miles a gallon to LA and back. The car has a ton of power, and can cruise at 80 all day, even uphill and loaded down. With nokian happelita studded tires it is a tiger in the snow. 6000 on the odometer and perfect so far. You can sleep stretched out in the back. Best car I've ever had.

Wow, what a difference the 6cylinder makes!

Had a 2008 base line Rav4 with the 2.4 liter, 2AZ-FE engine, which is a known oil consumer! Love the vehicle, but a 4 cylinder for a 4 wheel drive vehicle with an engine that Toyota mis-engineered the piston rings, was just not enough power. Bought a 2010 with the 3.5 liter 6 Cylinder, and wow! It has more horsepower than my Double Cab 2004 Tundra with its 4.7 liter V-8 engine!

I have been researching this segment for more than 6 month and reading owner reviews and it was down to the outlander GT and the Rav 4 v6 limited, well got the Rav two days earlier than I should have as the zero % started Tuesday and I bought mine on Saturday. Excellent ride comfortable but not mushy, corner very well, amazing steering for a Toyota, 4x4 like a dream, and great Transmission. I used to have Acura CAL type S and thought it was quick, this RAV drive like a sport car with the assurance of the all wheel drive. Excellent interior and seriously drives like a quality Lexus but with a sport feel and connection to the road. Would buy it again and again. Excellent quality.
Love my RAV

With nearly 84,000 miles, I have very little trouble with this car. The trouble is in the form of a few recalls. I have looked at newer RAVs and still prefer my old one as Toyota has removed some convenience items such as a double glove box (the new RAV has only an opening at the top where the old second glove box was), the sunglass holder above the windshield (I like having a place to put those), and a covered middle console (it is now open). Cutting corners like that will not necessarily make me a repeat customer if I can find another car I like as well. If Toyota would return some of the convenience items, I for sure will be buying another RAV. It also handles very well in snow (a big necessity in Minnesota). My main focus when I buy a car is how comfortable the seat is for me (I am 5'2" and the seat makes or breaks the car for me). My RAV fits that bill and I like the fold-down seats and huge hauling capacity in the back. My only real complaint is the noise level in the car. There seems to be a lot of wind noise which results in my having to turn up and down the radio/CD player. Other than that I am a huge fan of this car.
