Used Toyota RAV4 for Sale in Charlotte, NC

Toyota's RAV4 owns the distinction of being the first bite-size sport-utility vehicle. The RAV4 debuted in 1996 when most SUVs were still unwieldy, body-on-frame beasts. In contrast, the car-based Toyota was small and easy to drive. That it was shaped like a jelly bean hardly seemed to matter. With plenty of sales success behind it, it gave rise to a whole new segment of vehicles often called mini-utes or cute-utes. Like its modern-day competitors, the 2007 Toyota RAV4 isn't so mini anymore. It's still manageably sized and practical for city use, but now there's room for a V6 engine and a third-row seat -- features that would have been unimaginable in the original. During its last redesign in 2006, the vehicle saw the most dramatic changes of its decade-long history. Not only did this give Toyota's compact SUV a more substantial, less toy-like look on the outside, it opened up 4 more inches of legroom in the second row and 8 more cubic feet of luggage space.

Purchasing this vehicle was a great idea; not only because I am planning on starting a family, but also because it is great for carpooling. I really like the whole "finish" of the vehicle from a sunroof to third-row seating this car has not disappointed me yet. Coming from an Audi, I was so used to being nickeled and dimed for every little thing when it came to maintenance, but with this Toyota I just change oil every 3000 miles. The Rav 4 has a lot of torque for a crossover SUV, and can really surprise anyone that is not expecting all the power that this beast packs. I have the Limited model which is supposed to be the "fancy" version and it sure does show it. I really love how my car has fabric seats instead of leather because it doesn't burn my bottom when I get in the car after being parked under the sun. One thing I do not like so much is the gas mileage, but that is to be expected with V6 engine vehicle. My Rav 4 also comes with third-row seating which is surprisingly extremely convenient, especially when 7 people need to get to the same place.

It is a Toyota hybrid RAV4 limited. I like its feature, and it has a back-up camera.
