Reliable and functional

I had my Rav4 for 7 years and it served me so well. It holds cargo well and has plenty of handy storage spots. The V6 is fun to drive and accelerates well. If looking to buy one I would look hard at getting that engine. I think I averaged around 22 mpg with mixed driving. The only significant downside to it was the small fuel tank. The range is about 230-250 miles on a tank.

The ONE Car That Will Last Me Forever!

Going 150,000 Miles without any major problems- just the routine oil change, tire rotations and wear and tear. I've had to replace the tires a second time after driving about 60000 miles this year. The engine runs great and with the pickup you cant tell this is 4 cylinder engine. The gas mileage I get is pretty decent at 23/mpg could be better but given that this is a bigger car than your average sedan. One other thing to note is the JBL speakers are truly enhanced if you were to get a professional to upgrade your sound system with a radio that supports Android Auto/Apple Carplay. This will be a hand me down once my first grader gets to High School... These Toyotas last forever! Ever heard that before?

What's with RAV4 and tires

I've been driving a RAV4 for the past 9 years and I've noticed that my only problem is with the tires. I don't know if I'm alone on this one but the tires seem to develop issues with time and usage. It's the shock today, bearing tomorrow, tyroid next, just something on the tire. Apart from this, great car!
