1999 Toyota RAV4 Preview summaryImage

The 1999 Toyota Rav4 remained the same as the 1998 with no noticeable changes. Still available was the 2-door soft-top as well as the 2- and 4-door hard top available in 2- or all-wheel drive. The 1999 model remained fun to drive, although lacking in the peppiness available in cars of similar weight (2723 pounds). The engine is a 2.0-liter 4I capable of 127 horsepower. A full spare is included, and the transmission is available as automatic or 5-speed manual. Fuel economy is estimated at 22/26, but reviewers reported getting up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Great value. Drive systems and parts from other well established Toyotas are at the heart of this crossover, the first crossover ever. An outstanding seating position and open cabin lend to excellent visibility. The car and parts are die hard and youll only have very little downtime should the maintenance schedule be kept up with. The cabin is loud and at highway speeds this can get annoying. Road noise is very penetrating in this vehicle. The interior trim and pieces are are stout and easily removed should you decide to install sound insulation, I advise you do. Mine is the L so its equipped with leather, a sunroof, powered windows and locks as well as painted bumpers and cladding. The leather has seen better days. Overall this vehicle has decent fuel economy, is very long lived, and actually pretty fun to drive. Feb 15, 2022

Overall I enjoy the RAV4 and while she's not the prettiest girl at the prom with a little dressing up she just might turn a head or two. I've installed several mods that make her handle better, off-road worlds better, and look much better. Brakes are my only real complaint , the Japanese, Australian, and some European versions have disc brakes that weren't even an option here, WHY? I work outdoors all over the place often driving on "jeep" trails and cross country and so far she's done well. She's no jeep but she hasn't gotten stuck yet. Handles well in the rain, haven't tried it on snow or ice yet.Feb 22, 2014

It has nice function to help with power, however not extremely powerful. the only downside is the amount of passenger space in the back seat. Severe engine repair could be a hassle, but it rarely has reason to need such heavy repair.Nov 23, 2011
