Love my car. Hate constant dash lights

For last five years, my dashboard on my 2011 Toyota RAV 4 has had check engine, four wheel drive, and traction control lights on. At inspection time, we spend $95 for a machine to tell us that the O2 sensor needs replacing and $80 for a new sensor. 19 to 20 miles after we get the sticker, the dash lights come back on and stay that way for another year. We just paid $80 for a different sensor before going to get a sticker and lights didn’t stay off long enough to get to a garage to get inspected. Called Downeast Toyota in Brewer where we bought the car and it will cost another $95 to have the diagnostic machine tell us the same thing again. Fed up is the least of my feelings.

Back To Toyota For Reliability

A sporty little ride. Basic and no-frills, but gets from Point A to Point B. Good on gas, and with some snow tires added will go where I need to go.

Best Car Purchase in Years

I am very happy with this car. It has the distinct body styling I prefer and has handled well even in the ice and snow. I find it easy to drive and reminds me of my classic 1999 Honda CRV (which I would clone if I could).

Reliable vehicle

A comfortable ride, plenty of room for transporting people from place to place. Great for going camping in the mountains, and lots of room for camping equipment.

A Good Buy for the Money

I purchased the Rav 4 because (1) it is a Toyota and (2) it has low mileage for a 2011 vehicle 26,000 miles). I wanted a small SUV with low mileage, a great reputation for reliability, a full size spare tire, 4 wheel drive, , attractiveness, and fuel economy. I was actually looking for a V6 but settled for a 4 cylinder (2.5 liter) since I would get better fuel economy.

Bought new . Now rav has 45,000 mi. Never failed .

In 45,000 miles the rav has never failed to get me where I was going . Last month my city had a flood . I had to go get my 3rd grader from school asap. The streets over near the school were pretty deep in some spots . The 2 wheel drive 4 cyl. Rav when right through the water , although I was worried about it drowning out . Rav got us home without a sputter. Lots of things I like about rav , most of all she?s paid for ,lol .

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned!

It has plenty of passenger room and is great on gas. Very reliable in bad weather, ice, snow etc. Plenty of storage space in the back.
