As the title says, great little commuter, with over 24mpg, solid buy, would never part with my 97.
The AWD system works great in the winter. Heat is quick and strong. Very reliable.

I have to admit that when I first got my Rav4 I wasn't keen on it's appearance, but it's grown on me. Lots of space inside, can easily fit 5 people, or ski gear, even put my mountain bike in it once. It's 17 years old without any rust at all and other than
maintenance and regular replacement of parts I've had no problems. Super reliable. Fuel economy could be a little better, especially at highway speeds of over 80km/hr. Also lack of power can be a bit of a drag, especially going up hills. All around great car that's up for any adventure!

I've owned this car since 2000, it's reliable and has great gas mileage. back seat is on the small side for passengers. Motor runs very quiet, and only had regular maintenance work done.

I have had no problems with this vehicle. I just keep up the checkups and it's good to go. Always reliable and ready to go.

Reliable and fun to drive. I owned this 6yr. old / 57000mi. It has decent engine performance. Gas mileage was fair at about 22 mpg. overall; never got above 24 mpg. Rear trunk room was good, as was overall reliability and materials quality. Engine and transmission usually were flawless. Almost no body rust at 15 yrs. old.

This 5spd 2 door was a rare find...the engine not dying was it's only bonus however as the bland interior and bubbly annoying exterior certainly didn't win it any design awards...

It ran well over 350,000kms and was re-sold after the fact but I doubt I would ever drive such an ugly beast again...

It was only a FWD Rav-4 which did make it cheap on gas...but only if you kept it under 80KPH!...on the highway it drank more gas that a Hummer it seemed...

Wasn't extremely roomy although it did have a lot of cargo space with the rear seats folded away. The lift gate wasn't very practical...it wasn't really a "lift" gate, but rather a swing out...which made it annoying at times of rain since it provided no shelter while putting the groceries away!

I had this car for 10 years and it is a very dependable machine. Very good for winter driving and great on gas. Toyota built SUVs will last you a long time, especially the ones built in the 90s. Don't hesitate to buy this.
