I liked the size of the vehicle. It is not as big as an SUV, but big enough for me to handle. I love the blue color and that it is 4 doors so that I can carry passengers. I have taken it on long trips and it is comfy if you are the passenger and it performs great. The back hatch opens outward and has lots of storage room. The rear seats fold down to maximize more storage room. It drives very smooth and gets great mileage. The seats have held up nicely after these 9 years with just a little wear and tear on them. The only things that I can say negative about the Rav4 is that it has had a lot of recalls. I do not like the fact that there has been lots of recalls. And for some reason the CD player has quit working.

I like the mileage of the RAV4, a whole tank of gas last over a week, and I drive 50 minutes everyday. I like how big the car is inside and how I can fit just about anything inside. I've had some issues with the stereo from time to time, but the sound quality isn't too bad; just some occasional rattling from a speaker. My tire light has been on for over a year now, but there is nothing wrong with any of my tires; however, a mechanic told me I could reset it with the push of a button. Easy! Every now and then, several lights will come on, but if I cut the car off and turn it back on, they disappear. Maintenance is fairly cheap too. I pay about $30 for an oil change every threw-four months. My year doesn't come with a remote, but everything is electrical including windows and locks. The original tire cover is easily accommodating. It comes off by unlatching a lock and pulling it off. The car comes with tools necessary to change a tire as well. I love the compartments as well. I have a glove box, a middle compartment box and a compartment box in my trunk that I keep my tools and important stuff.
