great car has a lot of good qualities but for me it falls short in the power department and backseat is to small otherwise it runs great handles good and has good mpg and would be good for only a small family

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.

The acceleration isn't very much, the breaks work well but they squeak when wet. Overall though it is a good car for being 10 years old. Some people can't believe it works so well for being 10 years old. It has only been repaired once since I have had it and that was just to put new back breaks in. It is only like 20 dollars to fill it up and that lasts me about a week and a half.

2.0 ltr petrol engine is more than powerful enough for this vehicle. for it's size it's actually quite a light car and has very impressive off road capabilities considering it's not a thoroughbred 4x4.

I have never had any problems with my RAV4. It has been a very dependable car that helps conserve gas. I can typically travel over 400 miles on 1 tank of gas with a combination of city and highway.
