Great car for new driver or busy errands

This car was great on freeways, going up mountain roads, running around the city and overall was all I expected it to be.

Most reliable

This car performed great in rain and snow. I had no repairs in the five years I owned the car. A lot of room for a small suv. A lot of power for a 2 liter engine. I would reccomend this car if looking for a good used car.

Loved this car and cried when I sold it.

I think the RAV 4 is an outstanding car. I liked the fact that it rode higher so I felt very safe. It is not as smooth a ride as our other Toyota, a Lexus, but nevertheless it worked for me.

I finally own a RAV4-ioli!

After having lost my beloved 1996 Toyota Tacoma pickup to an accident in January, I was now faced with finding another vehicle. I thought about getting another little truck, but thought it was time to get something with a bit more room. I had always liked the RAV4 styling and just-right-size so I started my search. Well RAV4s are super popular so it took me 6 months to finally find the right one and not have it sold before I could get to it. It's a 2005 but looks and drives like new, a beautiful pale green, has plenty of giddy-up, great on fuel, super easy to drive, tremendous visibility and a dream to parallel park. Now seriously, how many SUVs can you say that about? Can't rave enough about this little RAV4 gem other than he's all mine now and I could not be happier about it!

The best SUV ever

I drove this vehicle all over and it's by far the best SUV ever. I never had any real issues with this vehicle.

I have never had a car that has lasted so long!

I have serviced this car regularly. I am selling it to my daughter whom I am confident will drive it as long as I have.
