2012 Toyota RAV4 Limited V6 4WD Review
GuruWTM8R says:
Overpowered. That is & remains my main judgment of this car, tho I own it. Had I to do it again, Id get a V4 myself. The problem is that it has too much power. It is touchy, and accelerates quickly. Having lived with a 4-cyclinder Rav4 for 20 years, it just isnt necessary. The other advantage of the Limited trim has to do with the air conditioning & heating. Do you REALLY need separate controls for driver versus passenger? Really? I will note that Toyota engineers appear to not have a life. They have removed all the places to connect outdoor gear (like canoes or a Yakima rack); I will need to modify the car to add a tie-down or a rack system. Stupid. vs2012 Toyota RAV4 Base 4WD
