2001 Toyota RAV4 - Great Vehicle, Toyota Girl for Life Thanks to This Beast!
I love my silver Toyota rav4. This is an exceptional vehicle! The gas mileage is not as bad as many other vehicles that are of the same style. The outside of the vehicle has little to no rust and has stayed in great condition despite the weather in the area. I have had no major issues with the vehicle and would recommend it for friends and family! I have driven it daily for the past six months since I got it and have put 30,000 miles on it in this amount of time and it has handled the wear and tear exceptionally well. It has great assets such as the CD player, cruise control, automatic windows and locks, cassette player, cigarette lighter plug, and lots of storage space. I like the size of the vehicle. The backseats fold both up and down and can create room for many items. I have fit T... (more)

The backseats fold both up and down and can create room for many items. I have fit TVs, tables, desks, and a few other big items in the back of mine. It is very effective for my camping gear and with the 4 wheel drive I am able to go camping on rough terrain and drive my vehicle to my spot. It is nice for big families with five places to sit and nice for travelers with a heavy load to move. I moved into my new place much quicker in this vehicle than I have in the past due to the ability to hold so many items and create sufficient space. The spare tire is on the back of the vehicle and allows me to have more space inside the car, but also safe with a spare in case of a flat. Although I've ran it pretty hard, it has held up nicely. The struts and tires are the only things that have needed changed. My air conditioner finally stopped working the other day, but this is only a minor issue and one of the first I have had so I cannot complain. It has plenty of power and is the perfect size. I would definitely buy another vehicle of this make and model in the future when this one finally gives out. It is currently at 112,000 miles and still runs like it did the day I bought it.
I like that this vehicle is 4x4 because I can take it on rough terrain. It has plenty of space for my adventures camping. It allows plenty of room for all of my supplies and I can drive it where other cars cannot go. I go camping down by a local river in the woods. I take my vehicle down a long gravel road. It eventually turns into dirt and then to a rough trail. Although some are sketchy abou... (more)
I like that this vehicle is 4x4 because I can take it on rough terrain. It has plenty of space for my adventures camping. It allows plenty of room for all of my supplies and I can drive it where other cars cannot go. I go camping down by a local river in the woods. I take my vehicle down a long gravel road. It eventually turns into dirt and then to a rough trail. Although some are sketchy about me driving all the way down to the river, I am always confident my car will make it easily and never have any problems. (Other than one flat tire) I can pile all my friends inside all take the trip down to the river easily. I have done this many times in the past and I am sure I will do this many more times this year.
My Toyota Rav4 has many pros when discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the vehicle. For example, it has some features that suit my lifestyle quite well. It features automatic locks and windows making it easier for me to use. My dome light will stay on when the car is not running until I lock the door. This is a great reminder to lock the door when exiting the vehicle. It has a CD player allowing me to blast my favorite CDs on the stereo while driving. The cassette player is also nice because I bought a cassette adapter which allows me to easily play music through my phone or othe... (more)

The cassette player is also nice because I bought a cassette adapter which allows me to easily play music through my phone or other musical device. I also love the storage space that can be created by moving the seats both ways. The tire on the back is nice in case of a flat and efficient go save space inside the vehicle. The inside features many cubbyholes and hidden storage compartments that allows me to have many items in my car but out of sight from others. It has plenty of power and has had no major issues despite the 30,000 miles it has endured in the past six months. It includes two cigarette lighter which allows my boyfriend and I to charge our mobile phones at the same time. I believe this vehicle has many more pros than cons.
It is hard to think of negative things about my vehicle. Most are minor issues, but a few do still exist. For example, my air conditioner quit working a few days ago. This is a pain due to the hot weather this time of year. I tried charging it, but found a leak which prevented the charge from working properly. I have not yet been able to fix this problem, so the windows are always down. And of course it does have decent gas mileage but it could always be better. The struts have worn down quickly, but I have also driven the vehicle a lot more than the average person would. I wish it had a d... (more)

I wish it had a direct USB port to make music playing easier, but I can't complain about it because it isn't too hard to adapt it now. I also would prefer the gear shifter to be by the steering wheel rather than on the middle of the floor as it is currently.
2006 Toyota RAV4 - Reliable practical not too expensive vehicle
The RAV 4 has had no unexpected problems. Just common fixes brakes, tires, etc. I'm at 160,000 miles and its still going strong as did my one before this. Doesn't have the greatest pick up but the engine is small and that conserves gas. A major complaint is inner cabin noise. And when I first drove this car home which was an hour drive it was a little bothersome but after having it awhile it becomes unrecognizable especially if the radio is on. It has a hookup for mp3 which was a huge bonus back in 2006. It's AWD and handles very well in the snow and ice. On my 2000 the doors licked automatically this one they don't which is actually a feature I miss. Overall this is an excellent vehicle I have put barely any money into it and the price is reasonable.

Took to a concert and tailgate it was great in the back with trunk open. Plenty of room to sit and there's cup holders back there!! Got a bucket of OFF and some drinks and we were good to go and safe from the rain

My favorite features are that it's good on gas. The AWD which is important living in the Northeast. The car handles very well I always feel like I have full control. It's rated very high for safety which is important especially with kids and so many crazy drivers lately. I like the size of the back area. Plenty of room to transport things. Strollers and baby items. Also both the back seats lay forward very easily with just a pull of a handle to increase the back area when in need of transporting larger objects. Durability would have to be the major positive it's expensive enough to buy a c... (more)

Durability would have to be the major positive it's expensive enough to buy a car and then having to fix things on top of that can get out of hand. I've been very lucky and have needed no repairs!! Size wise it's not overly big but makes you feel a lot safer then being in a car.
Negative would have to be the pickup. It takes awhile to accelerate which isn't good on the highway. A bunch if the inside lights have gone out. I assume just fuses but haven't bothered replacing. Cabin noise is a bit loud at first. If you happen to lose or need a replacement key they are over $100 because of the computer chips or something in the key. The cup holders aren't the best the rubber inserts as always get stuck to bottom of cup I've almost thrown them away on occasion. I have had a little trouble with gas cap which sets off warning lights in the car. I've had it replaced but aft... (more)

I have had a little trouble with gas cap which sets off warning lights in the car. I've had it replaced but after a rainstorm 4 lights show up on dash and take awhile to go away. Also had the tires freeze up twice which causes a crazy vibration throughout car the first time Toyota took care of it. The 2nd I knew what it was and waited for it to melt.
2015 Toyota RAV4 - Awesome and reliable vehicle.
The Toyota RAV4 XLE has been one of the best and most versatile cars I have owned. The interior has luxury accents like a leather trim, but the seats are made out of a fabric so I don't have to worry about ruining leather seats. One of my favorite aspects is the touch screen system that makes it easy to switch between music, navigation, and other apps. It is also easy to Bluetooth connect your phone and receive texts and calls through the speaker system. The car also comes with a rear bumper camera which makes backing up or parking a breeze. For a smaller mid-size SUV the RAV4 is very spacious with a large trunk and plenty of room on both seat rows. So far at around 23,000 miles I have yet to have any mechanical issues.

The car drives very well on most all terrain. The RAV4 is stylish both inside and out. For an SUV the fuel economy is not bad - it costs a little less than $30 to fill the tank and just driving around the city and occasionally on the highway a full tank will last me a week and some. The only complaints I have are with the tires and the exterior materials. I have had to replace two of the factory-issued tires in the past year and I feel they are poorly made. I also feel as though some of the exterior materials are cheaply made and dent very easily. I lightly tapped a post backing my car up and it heavily dented the bumper, which seems to be made out of a very light and cheap plastic that could easily break. I have owned Toyota vehicles before and I have felt the same way about the exterior materials. One of my favorite things about the car is that it is a great mix of rugged practicality and luxurious comfort. Even though I often have my dog in the car and I carry horseback riding equipment in it all the time, it still always seems clean and neat.
I was driving down a rural dirt road that I had previously been down before when I owned a much smaller car. In my smaller car the road - narrow and littered with giant pot holes - seemed treacherous and was a very uncomfortable ride. I recently rode down the same road in my RAV4 and not only was it a breeze but I barely felt the car going over the potholes.

Interior and exterior style. Electronic touch screen system. Great performance in all terrains. Above average fuel economy for an SUV. Spacious and comfortable. No mechanical issues after almost 3 years.

Cheap exterior materials that dent easily. Cheap factory-issued tires that will quickly need to be replaced.
