Great SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By eleanor - February 27 - 10:33 amWhat a great SUV. I enjoy driving it in all types of weather and on any type of road. Tight turning radius, very good power for a 4 cyl and it has a smooth ride.

New Rav 4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By jays5 - February 24 - 10:30 amJust got our new rav 4 today. It is a tremendous inprovement over the 2002 model we traded which was very good and hard to part with. The ride is much improved. Power is much greater and handling is excellant. Gas mileage seems to be a little better, but is hard to tell at this point. Rear set and cargo space is greatly increased. We like the additonal safety features including standard ABS brakes, an actual rear bumper and the optional side air bags as well.

Rav4 06 Sport - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By Mike - February 19 - 4:13 pmWhile the sticker price is a little higher than the competition, the Rav4 has such good resale that we decided it was the best, and the least expensive option with a bigger engine. Ours has a black interior, which gets to looking a little dirtier than a tan or gray, but when its clean it certainly does look sharp. As to the power, it really is fun and amazing.

Researched Choice - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By Joe - January 16 - 8:46 amI researched a great deal to find a decent SUV that was reliable, appealing, and attained decent gas mileage. Boy was I thrilled to find the V6 Rav 4. Not only is it a much bigger vehicle than previous models, the performance of the V6 is phenomenal! I average 27 mpg on the interstate driving to work... incredible! The ride quality is wonderful and the increased amount of interior space makes trips so comfortable. Im so happy with my Rav4 V6 and I havent looked back. Do the research yourself, you wont be sorry... besides... its a Toyota.

By M Stojsavljevic - January 5 - 7:06 pmExcellent vehicle. A little noisy on the road but not annoying. Handles great. Auto. gear shift can move to neutral with a light bump.

Fun to drive! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By Teri - December 26 - 12:33 pmBought this car for a teen daughter because of its safety. She needed a car that could haul her equestrian gear (saddles etc.) which it does with ease. She loves to drive it because it is so fun plus it has great looks. Everyone wants to know what it is. There are no other cars like it in our small town. We also took it on a trip yesterday through a very curvy canyon and it handled great. Super gas mileage. To tell you the truth, I like it every bit as much as my Lexus sedan. Plus, the added side impact airbags will give me alot less to worry about when my daughter leaves for college!

Love my RAV4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By Jenny in NC - November 19 - 12:56 pmThis is a fun car to drive, nice pickup and smooth ride overall. Good gas mileage, and a pleasure to get behind the wheel everyday. Love the design, small but sleek at the same time. Had an issue with the radio malfunctioning, but Toyota took care of it ASAP - customer service at all the Toyota dealerships Ive been to has been top notch. My first Toyota, and definitely not my last.

Best SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By John - October 17 - 5:03 amWe had 2003 Honda Cr-V. Our new RAV-4 is far superior. Much better performance, handling and much less road noise. The 3.5L 6cyl engine is overkill but we love it! If you got the extra $$ definitely go for along with 4WD. We plan on doing a lot of traveling so extra power and handling are super important to us. Toyota really rang the bell with this model.

Toyota answers the call! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
By rustinginvermont - October 4 - 2:26 pmI would put this 4WD system up against anything on the road for practical driving purposes. 9 inches of snow were no problem even with all season radials. We had a 1999 but it wouldnt fit an infant seat in rearward position of 2nd row without giving up the passenger seat. On the 06, I drive with my seat in furthest rearward position. My 6 ft. 3 inch friend sat behind me with room to spare between. The turning radius on this seems much better than the 1999 RAV4. Didnt check specs. on that. My wife is still thanking me for buying it (since 1/02/2006). Vermont mountain driving conditions can be scary. Im glad she drives the kids in this.
