This is the perfect car for me-- it's small enough that it gets good gas mileage but also totally functional.  I can throw down the seats and haul my bike, kayak (on top of course) and camping stuff without having to rent a u-haul trailer.  

I also love the secret comparments-- totally cool.

Oh and I'm lovin the automatic and the sun roof too!  

If this were a hybrid it would be perfect!!!!

Pros — Functionality
Cons — Not a hybrid.

I love it, has a lot of room, gets god gas mileage which is something we all need in todays society. It is black on black with the black tinted windows so it is looking pretty hot! I love to drive it and sometimes I still feel like I am in my scion. It has good pickup and great speed, just watch out for the popo!

Pros — Black on black
Cons — None

Just recently own a Rav4, overall I think it's very good vehicle  for a small size SUV.
Hidden compartment is well build in

Pros — Great gas mileage
Cons — too small for large pets

Performance is not so great, due to the 4 cylinder engine. V6 option would be different. The interior is much better compared to some of the other Toyota models. Lots of space inside, and customizable seating and trunk arrangement. Comes with a mp3 compatible stereo with adequate power. Not a serious off-roader but good enough to get over the necessary foot paths.

Pros — Seat and trunk configurations, good space.
Cons — 4 cylinders not powerful enough, poor acceleration

If this car was available with a 5 speed, it damn near be the ultimate sleeper. 268hp V6 in a relatively light package. I have yet to drive one that is FWD, but I am pretty sure FWD is only available on the 4 cylinder models, but I imagine it would be very burnout-happy if available! Thank God for traction control!

Pros — Powerful V6, roomy, decent fuel mileage even with the V6
Cons — Not available with manual transmission

Reviewing: 2008 Toyota RAV4 Base V6 AWD

I purchased a 2008 Toyota RAV4 V6 4x4 on October 2007. So far I drove the car 4500 miles. The MPG I get in the real world is nowhere near the published EPA MPG rating of 19 City and 26 Highway. Under ideal highway driving conditions, i.e., flat road, no passengers or cargo, driving at constant speed of 65mph, the most I can squeeze out of the RAV4 is 20MPG, a significant difference don't you think so? And if you contact Toyota with a question on the lower than estimated MPG they stonewall you.
