Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Dependable, outstanding features, fun to drive, great service through a company that backs their product.
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: RAV4 is dependable, reliable, has popular features, and more. Toyota's service and customer care, and their product has won me over. Great company and great product!
You either love Toyota, or you don't. There's no middle ground. For years, I bought other makes and by the end of the first year, I wanted a new car. But all of that changed that September day in 2007 when I drove off the lot in my ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Exceptionally stable on rain-slicked freeways because of the AWD. Excellent in snow and ice.
Cons: Front driver seat doesn't go far enough back for tall drivers.
The Bottom Line: I'm actually more of a Honda fan for over 30 years. But I have to admit the RAV4 limited has much better build quality, especially the interior and drive train!
Mine is the limited edition, with the 270 some horsepower v6. If there was anything negative I had to say about this gem of a SUV was that it was a touch too small, but it is designed so that it still seems to hold just about anything you'll want to haul ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks great inside and out; nice standard safety features; drives beautifully. Read on…
Cons: For me there are no cons. A bigger gas tank would be nice.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle for its many safety features, its great handling, and Toyota's reputation for reliability and quality.
I bought my 4x4 V6 RAV4 nine months ago and it has been one of the best purchases I have ever made! I have now driven about 16,000 miles and have not had a single problem. I wanted a vehicle that would: 1. Get good mileage (gas prices ... read more

The Bottom Line: If I had to buy another SUV I would buy this one again
My wife and I were looking for a vehicle that is good and reliable; big enough for me to fit in it, good on gas, looks nice and is affordable. We did lots of research online, visited several dealerships and the final choice was between RAV 4 and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of room, great gas mileage!
Cons: None!
The Bottom Line: Great ride, great mileage, incredible car
The Rav4 is a great SUV. Build on a sedan base, it is not too high to climb in and out of, but you are higher up than in a regular car. The Rav4 gets great gas mileage for an SUV as well. I average 25-30 mpg. The ride is always smooth, though it ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sports car fast, U-Turns in one Lane, MPG 24-29, Built in Japan to Last
Cons: Cheap interior, Cheap fabric, no factory incentives.
The Bottom Line: Nothing has this kind of performance and MPG, get the V6 and smile.
Okay everyone makes a small SUV today. They are all good, they all are pretty comfortable, Toyota costs more. Toyota earned it. I wanted to buy an Infinti G35, nice, fast and fun. Reality is I have two kids that I have to transport sometimes, and I ... read more

The Bottom Line: Great small SUV for suburban living. Wonderful ride, quick, comfortable, quiet.
After realizing I needed a new vehicle early last year, I did a lot of shopping around to make sure I found the vehicle that was right for me. I finally came to my decision early last fall and have been enjoying my new vehicle for several months now: ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 
Pros: Spacious, smooth ride, bluetooth compatible
Cons: In 3 years of ownership we've had it at the dealership three times for service
The Bottom Line: Overall I would NOT recommend this vehicle.
UPDATE: We have had this car for just under 3 years now. The first two problems that we had were annoyance issues. They posed no safety threat, but still irritated us, as this was a new car. We recently had the car in for its ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Copious safety features, powerful engine, responsive steering, excellent view, good overall driveability, uses regular gas.
Cons: That forehead-slappingly stupid rear door. Lack of automatic lights on the interior door panels.
The Bottom Line: Recommended for all the reasons listed.
It's been a little over ten years since I bought my last new vehicle, a base-model Isuzu Trooper that had the advantage of being a roomy, moderately comfortable all-weather truck, and the disadvantage of being underpowered, thirsty, tippy, rough-riding, ... read more

Pros: Ride, Handling, Performance, Comfort, Sound System, Cargo Space
Cons: Poor factory tires, no "headlights on" warning
We purchased our 2007 V6 4x4 RAV4 over a year ago. It is fun to drive, very comfortable for a big tall guy like me, and has unbelievable performance. The ride and handling are superb. In the rain and snow it is sure footed and in dry weather it

Pros: Great look, smooth ride, handling, performance
Cons: cup holders annoying, placement of radio dials make it hard to manage while driving
Few strange problems, sun roof exploded, water in floor on passenger side but overall I love it. We purchased ours in Dec 06 because we needed 4wd and got that plus great mileage and the reliability of a Toyota. My Husband is 6'4" and fits comfortable.

RAV4 is a good buy

Author's Product Rating: 30
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good price, nice sound system, great car for any one under 5'8''
Cons: Needs to have more leg room and security system needs improvement.
We have owned this car for 6 months and really like it. The windshield wiper was bad and was replaced. We bought the 660.00 security package and think it is a waste of money. When you go to get the free oil change that comes with the package you are

Pros: roomy, quick, quiet, MP3 ready, AWD works great and it handles like a sports car.
Cons: I've not been able to get the 28mpg you see on the window sticker.
After riding a motorcycle for 6 years, a small sports car and a 1991 Jeep for 4 more years... this was the BEST car purchase I ever made. 2 years of research and comparing different SUVs I wasn't sure about this based on the previous versions of the

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Dependable, Reliable Cars
Cons: Plastic exterior, plastic interior parts.. but hey, easy to clean.
If the newer models run as nice as my 1996, then I would definitely buy one. Unfortunately, my 1996 will never die (or so it seems). My Rav4 has continuously been the best car I have ever had. Now, keeping in mind that it is beginning to show it's age,

Pros: Fast, Quick, Smooth, Quiet, Comfortable, Roomy, economical, sure footed on rain soaked and snowy roads.
Cons: A wiff of coolant every now and then.
Wife and I bought this for a second car, primarily for her to drive. We previously had a 2005 version, which was decent, but nowhere near the car this is. Now we are constantly fighting over it. For the money, this is one heck of a car. Smooth, Fast,
