I have now driven this car over 350,000 miles with very very few repairs. It is a nice "tight" little car that was well built and had no rattles when it was new. It has only just recently begun to rattle a bit but one has to expect that of a car that is o15 years old and has been driven 350,000 miles! It is very nimble and still has good power when trying to pass other vehicles. While small, it will carry an enormous amount of stuff. It gets great gas mileage. The fifth door makes it possible to load and unload groceries and other things in the back very easily. The center seats fold down allowing you to put larger objects in the back...Including enough camping gear for an eighteen day camping trip. Having the spare tire mounted on the back instead of inside or under the car makes it much easier to change a tire. No having to unload everything you're carrying to get to the spare...Or crawl around on the ground to pull a tire out from under the vehicle.

I love my Rav 4 because of its appearance, audio system and infotainment systems, excellent driving manners, and good gas mileage. I love its strong resale value. The fuel economy and engine specs are also very good.
