Best in Class and Best in Quality

I love my Rav4. I had a Jeep Wrangler, but I felt like I spent more time in the repair shop with it than on the road. I had major problems with the Jeep electrical system. The gas mileage and road noise in the Jeep was also horrible, so road trips were not enjoyable. I can't imagine driving any other car. I compared specs and considered the quality of this vehicle to others and the Rav4 wins hands down. Thank You Toyota!!

Toyota refused to backup their product

I did like the way the 5 speed manual tranmission performed, and the handling of the car. However, at 32 months old, while sitting in my drivewary during my lunch hour, the windshield cracked. 4 service technicians the very next day said it cracked due to factory defect. Toyota refused to replace the windshield. The service manager wrote the paperwork stating, "cracked do to heat". I live on the Northern California coast, where the high might be 63 degrees. I no longer own that car. This car also has 2 very bad blind spots.

It's a great SUV

It's a great car for those who want to have the comfort of a SUV but also the ecomy of a compact car. You can feel that you control your car what makes a difference when compare with a regular SUV. I absouly love it.
