Pros: all whell drive
Cons: everything but all-wheel drive
I really think america is getting bad. I mean, toyota can market a celica with big tires and call it an SUV. I would love to see someone take a RAV-4 off road, or even over a curb. The Nissan Xterra, Jeep Cherokee or Jeep Wrangler would be a far...

Pros: Lots of options and perfect size for the city
Cons: quality is lacking compared to other Toyotas
Last year my wife and I went shopping for a new car that was big enough for us and our baby but small enough for city life. We decide on the RAV4 for its options and durability. The RAV4 has exceptional power for its small engine and good gas mileage...

My family purchased our RAV4 brand new in 1999. We were forced to look for a new car when our old minivan died. My stepfather looked around for a while and fell in love with the RAV4. He really liked the gas mileage, the handling, and the overall...

Before you purchase this vehicle, there are some things you should know. I purchased a RAV4L in May of 1999. I am very sorry that I didn't research this SUV more thoroughly. One of the most important things to consider is this vehicle is loved by auto...

Pros: Attractive styling, gas economy, ground clearance
Cons: lacks power, poor leg/cargo room, cabin noise, pricey
The RAV4 is an attractively styled vehicle. The Limited Edition that I purchased has some nice features - dark tinted windows, alloy rims, all power features, and a nifty alarm with keyless remote.
Having driven mine for 5 months now, I have...

Pros: Good Gas Mileage, Reasonable Pricing, Cute
Cons: Needs more power, Needs more room in the backseats
First off, the RAV4 is Toyota's version of a "carlike" SUV. My parents bought this car for my brother's birthday. I recently had an opportunity to live with this car while my brother was out of town. When I first looked at the RAV4, I went...

Pros: Looks great, handles well
Cons: Cramped back seat
When my husband and I were considering buying a small sport utility vehicle, the RAV4 was the last on my list. The older models looked strange to me. We found a used 1999 RAV4 L with 35,000 miles on it at our local Toyota dealer and took it for a spin....

Pros: All wheel drive, sits up high
Cons: Backseat not roomy, small engine
The Rav4 is an affordable SUV vehicle. Generally it is an ok car. Two major problems are the back seat is very small and so is the engine. If you like to drive a lot of friends around for long drives, forget the RAV. If you like to have some power...

Pros: gas mileage, good handling for a SUV, parking
Cons: interior space, road noise and fan noise
Bought the '99 Rav4 nearly a year ago, and it has been a great LITTLE car. Seems to hold the road better than the Tracker. I'm a safety nut and after reading the crash test results on the small Hondas, I wouldn't even get in one for a test drive. We...

Pros: Compact size, easy to maintain
Cons: OK sound system
I traded in my Accord for a 4-door '99 RAV4 L over a year ago. It's been a good experience. Car-based SUVs are becoming more popular. The RAV4 was one of the first - it was introduced as a concept car back in 1989.
The RAV4 delivers everything...

Pros: Sporty, fun to drive, easy to handle
Cons: Only holds four people.
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a not so pricey and "fun size" SUV, this is the one.
When my husband and I decided to get another vehicle, we were determined to get something bigger to accommodate our growing family. So we went in search of an SUV. We knew we couldn't afford the trendy bigger models or the monthly payments that came with...

Pros: reliable , good looking, great gas mileage
Cons: not roomy enough for someone over 6', small engine
The '99 RAV4 is a smaller and sporty SUV. I bought it for the extra room, its look, and the 4wheel drive capability. I also like the fact that the seats fold down and then flip up against the front seats.I did not like the fact that it is only a 4...

Pros: easy to maneuver and reliable
Cons: underpowered
I have had my Toyota RAV4 for just over one year and love it! Living in Colorado, it is a great vehicle for the snowy days. It is higher off the ground than the Subaru Forester, but not as difficult to maneuver as a full-size sports utility vehicle. I...
