The new redesign of the RAV4 for 2007 is impressive. It looks much more appealing than earlier versions. Outside the grill is nice and shiny, the wheels are decent looking, and the rear spoiler is appealing. The limited model sports a peppy V6 engine. It shifts superbly and accelerates very quickly. The interior is roomy to accommodate 5 passengers very comfortably. The stereo system sounds very good. It also includes an in dash 6-Disc CD changer with MP3 and WMA capability. Inside the glove box is an aux jack to plug in your iPod or other portable MP3 player. This saves from poor radio transmitted quality. This is a great car but with a bit overpriced tag.

We drove so many "small" SUV's. There was something we liked about all of them, but the RAV4 had the best combination of amenities for the price. We love the pick up of the V6 although we aren't so thrilled with the V6 gas mileage. The car is attractive and comfortable. We've taken it on a 2000 mile road trip. The cargo space is wonderful. I'd prefer a clamshell hatch type cargo door, but maybe in the next generation?

I like it cause it's fast, gets good mileage, is relatively compact and has a lot of interior room.  Not as quiet as a Lexus, though.

Great size, comfortable seating position.  Gauges are clear and easy to read.  Very versatile storage.  Has a storage bay under floor on trunk.  2nd row seats fold flat to floor, and has tilt, forward and back adjustments.  actually 1 or 2 MPG less than Camry sedan.  Transmission though smooth, isn't as impressive as V-6, which is 5-speed auto and 1 mpg worse gas mileage.

It looks like a boring SUV, but once you put your foot down it can surpirse you with the amount of power on tap..
