The Toyota Rav4 is one of the best vehicles I have owned. The vehicle drives smooth on the road in all types of weather and feel extremely safe while I am driving on the roads. The Rav4 also has good gas mileage which being a SUV Crossover, you wouldn't think it would but it get the same as the car I had prior to this vehicle - Dodge Caliber. In addition, the vehicle has not needed any extra repairs besides the normal repairs from wear and tear (replacement of brakes, tires, LOF and wiper blades).

As ironic as it is, I actually do use my Rav4 for hauling my surfboards because of how incredibly convenient and easy it is. I just open the trunk, flip down the middle seats, and I can fit both my eight-foot surfboards inside without having to tie them to the top. Since I'm just a 5'2" girl, this makes it ideal for me. I've never had a problem with space, as I can easily fit five people and a full trunk of things but yet it looks small and fits in compact spaces. On top of that it gets great gas mileage for the age, averaging about 20mpg. I have not had a single maintenance issue on it aside from minor cosmetics; i.e., the radio knob skipping or a dash light that mysteriously won't turn off, both of which could be fixed easily.
