  Fun to Drive and More Room - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By BAK-MN - December 1 - 5:20 pm

  I was unhappy with my 2003 Jeep Liberty. I was looking for better gas mileage and more cargo area. I also needed a vehicle that could pull a small boat or a trailer with a couple of ATVs. The new V6 RAV4 has met all of my expectations. The sport edition came with great looking 18" alloy rims. Quick acceleration seems effortless with the smooth 269 HP engine. The 2006 Toyota RAV4 is better than the 2003 I test drove a few years ago in almost every aspect.

  2006 Rav4 Sport 4WD - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Ed - November 29 - 5:36 am

  Just bought my 06 Rav and so far im very happy with it. The interior on the Sport is very nice, the seats are comfortable and supportive. There is almost no road noise in side the cabin, however VSC kicked in more than a few times and was annoying (we have about 6 inch. of snow in Winnipeg , Canada). There is an annoying beeping sound from VSC and there was no need for it to kick in at all. The V6 is very smooth and almost not noticable. It has good power, but not overhwelming like I read in reviews. Overall Im very satisfied with the vehicle and would definitely recommend it.

  My best car yet - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Terry Wisland - October 11 - 5:20 am

  This is the best vehicle Ive owned yet. Power is awesome, very comfortable, nice 22 MPG average fuel economy, Leather seats are comfortable. The cargo area is huge for a small SUV. I can fit a full size mountain bike in it in about 10 seconds. After 3,000 miles, Im averaging about 22 MPG, great for 269 HP and regular fuel. No complaints so far.

  Awesome! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By EK - August 14 - 4:13 pm

  Absolutely awesome little SUV - well maybe not so little anymore. V6 power is impressive,even coming from a V8 pickup. Nice size and handling. The only thing I would change is the climate control readout - very hard to see in the sunlight.

  Great engine - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Glen - August 9 - 2:53 pm

  Very impressed with my new RAV4 limited V6 AWD. The 269 hp engine is superb, far more impressive than my previous car (Audi A4 quattro 2.0 turbo). The interior is well designed, perfect for a solo driver that often brings along the wife and kids.

  Love my Rav4! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Jackie - July 28 - 7:10 pm

  I spent 6 months researching and looking for a 4wd, fuel efficient vehicle. I previously drove a Subaru Outback, which did well in snow, but was too small. When I finally purchased my RAV4, I loved it. As the days and weeks went by, I love it more! Its comfortable, quiet, sporty and just plain fun to drive. I love how it looks. Ive stuffed it full of antiques with roon to spare. On the down side, I agree with another reviewer that the cup holders dont hold any cup I own (no room for handles). I miss my heated mirrors and seats. And I wish I had fog lights. All that being said, have I mentioned I love my Rav4?

  Great Vehicle - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By fcs - July 28 - 3:56 pm

  This has been a great vehicle in the 8 months that I have owned it! The V6 really moves and the fuel economy is great for the power that you get. Its hard to keep your foot out of the gas. :-) The handling in the Sport model is also impressive. Everyone who rides in it likes it. I would buy another one in a second.

  Im in love - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By George - July 23 - 5:56 pm

  I just bought this beautiful car and I am really happy with it, it has good power, stability and the looks. The interior on the sport is pretty neat and the sunroof and 18" allow weells make a difference on it. The JBL sound system rocks, if you are looking for a RAV4 invest a little more and get the premium sound, fog lights and sunroof

  Surprisingly Large Compact SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By juhoney76 - June 15 - 3:10 pm

  06 RAV4 is selling really fast! five RAV4 were available when I went to the dealer. It has sufficient low end torque. Also, getting to 80mph is a breeze. The newly designed interior is beautifully modern. I never considered buying a RAV4 because of its small size. But, 06 RAV4 is definitely worth a look for its car-like handling, peppy engine, beautiful interior, larger space and gas mileage.

  A Sweet SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Karen Loebel - June 1 - 2:03 pm

  The SUV has fantastic power and a smooth ride; nice interior and a sleek exterior. It has lots of cargo space (I hauled two big arm chairs, an ottoman, a microwave and three boxes in one trip).
