Best Car Ever

I've gone through 3 cars in the past year, the Rav being my 4th. I love it. Ravs and toyotas in general are all around great cars and are super reliable. If I had gone for a Rav4 from the beginning, I would have saved myself a big headache.

Very reliable and packs quite a lot.

I like the fact that it has a manual transmission and cruise control. It also packs a lot of stuff.

Best. Car. Ever.

2002 Rav4-L. Owned since 98,000 miles. 300,000 miles, ten years, soon. New rotors & pads at purchase. Rebuilt transmission at 200,000 +/-. Squirt electronic cleaner into cruise control stalk when it acts up. Love the size, economy, utility, and reliability of this car. Plan on keeping it up, and keeping it mine.

Dependable & versatile

Love this car/SUV. Light, maneuverable, good visibility, stone-cold reliable. Wish its interior was quieter. Approaching three hundred thousand miles.

long-time Toy/Honda owner and Rav-ing "maniac"

This lil' Rav o' mine just keeps on rollin'... bought it new in 2002, has manual tranny, and w/good servicing have had next to no problems. hit 220,000 miles this month - did replace clutch about 6 months ago, but this little unit refuses to quit! We plan to buy a new hybrid Avalon soon, but I'm keeping my "little mule" !!!
