2007 Toyota RAV4 - A trustworthy yet also fun car
This vehicle is a dependable, utilitarian, yet also fun car. I have driven multiple country-wide road trips and had no issues with engine problems. The transmission fluid can tend to get a little hot on hot days, however. The car trunk has plenty of space for whatever you might need, yet still drives well with heavy loads. I am a cyclist and have managed to fit three people, all of their bikes, and their overnight luggage in the car. It gets fairly efficient gas mileage, especially if you drive carefully. The car has many plastic covers for various elements, and these unfortunately come off with some regularity, and it can be difficult to find where they originated. It is a good car for driving on dirt roads and other bumpy roads, though I would say it falls short of being a true off-r... (more)
Story
I drove up to the mountains of Colorado with some friends when a blizzard hit the region. It snowed three feet over two days. When it was time to leave, I was worried that the car would not get through the snow. But after some initial help from kitty litter on the ground, the car got through the feet of snow easily, saving us from a very boring week!
Pros
Good capacity, comfortable interior, great for snow and bumpy roads, fast acceleration
Cons
Plastic pieces that become dislodged and lost
2011 Toyota RAV4 - Incredibly satisfied
I own a Toyota Rav 4. I am very pleased with this vehicle. I paid it off about a year ago and hope to drive it for several more years without having to make car payments. I have had no real serious mechanical issues, and the gas mileage is fairly good as well. I basically get the oil changed and keep new tires on it and it has performed very well. I have had to get some brake work on it, but that is to be expected as it is now getting close to the 100,000 mile mark.
Story
A bit embarrassing as this car color is very popular. I see it everywhere. My wife and I walked out of a restaurant and tried to get into a vehicle that was not mine but sure looked like it. The owner laughed as he said he has the same issue.
Pros
The top positives for this vehicle have been reliability. I have had very few maintenance issues. Also, I like the gas mileage and the tank is fairly inexpensive to fill up every ten days or so. I am a big fan of the extra storage in the back which helps transporting supplies and or the family pet.
Cons
My two biggest complaints for this vehicle are the color and the heating system. I ordered the car through a car finding service, and I picked out a ocean blue color. I wish I had gotten one that was not so popular; I see this same color everywhere. Also, as a male, I wish I had picked something more masculine. I learned a valuable lesson to take time when selecting a color for your vehicle. Also, the heater and air conditioner work, well but the way the vents are positioned it is not great for the driver. That is a feature that could definitely be improved upon .

They had excellent customer service, fair prices, and they didn't feel like sleazy used car salesmen.
