  Excellent overall - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By CBM - June 1 - 5:03 am

  Weve now owned this vehicle for almost a year, and have found quality and reliability to be excellent. The power from the V6 is without peer in this class, and the fuel economy is the icing on the cake (note: a light foot helps achieve those window sticker EPA numbers). Interior room is excellent both for passengers and cargo. The JBL stereo is decent for a factory upgrade. With AWD the RAV4 is surefooted in winter, and with the side curtains and stability control its a safe ride. No complaints about seat comfort (ours is the Limited with leather). The ride is firm but comfortable. After almost a year on the road its still tight and a pleasure to drive. Recommended.

  Toyota Hits a Homerun - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Frank G. - April 24 - 10:20 am

  Initially, the new rear window pillar area seemed a bit "mod". After looking at the competition, we quickly came back to buy the new RAV4 because it simply has the very best to offer. RAV4 has an attractive interior design, a pleasant and logical dashboard, good seating and a large well planned cargo area. We just LOVE everything about this RAV4. The impressive road handling, fuel milage, great visability and of course, Toyota quality, make this vehicle the one to beat. RAV4 gave us the best of both worlds - a pleasant carlike interior AND an undercarriage and exterior body that is a rugged 4WD truck, when needed. We just turned 3500 miles and so far, this is our very best vehicle yet.

  Impressive Compact SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Allen Jackson - March 31 - 11:26 am

  This is a really nice SUV. The new RAV4 is almost now as big inside as the Highlander. Rides likes a Camry, but with the functionality of a SUV. 4 cylinder had plenty of power - 166hp. Fit and finish are very nice. My only hesitation with this SUV is that the rear window does not pop open, as was with the case for previous RAV4s.

  Im a Rav4 Girl - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Jackie - March 20 - 7:10 pm

  Its so much fun to drive. I have never owned a suv b4, now I will never go back to a midsize. I owned a toyota before in the 1980s went to Honda, now Im back home. Its roomy, sleek in style, and drives like a car. Never was interested in the older models. Now Im very impressed.

  good decision - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By happydriver - March 5 - 10:40 am

  I took a big step by going from a Corolla to a Rav4 but I am convinced I made the right decision. The Rav is excellent from front to back. I did my homework and compared it to CRV but in the end, RAV won. Plenty of space and very comfortable.

  Not a bad miniSUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By RJ - February 27 - 11:00 pm

  Despite what people seem to think, the 4-cyl engine is more than adequate around town, and if you put on a set of dedicated snow tires, you wont need AWD (especially with Toyotas traction control). Mileage is in the mid to low 20s in mostly stop and go traffic with the AC going. (One minor gripe is the first 3 fan settings on the AC are fairly weak and while the 4th is decent, it sounds like a jet engine.) Tons of leg room in every seat and the rears recline as well. Plenty of storage room, both in the cubbies and in the "trunk". The rear door can be a bit heavy and hard to open for curb-parking, but the detent holds it well, even on hills.

  Barcelona Red Toyota Rav-4 sport v6 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Ferrell - January 20 - 11:06 am

  What can I say besides I absolutely love this suv. Previously I owned a honda crv (I was glad to see it go). There is so much more space in the cabin and a lot more power under the hood. I also take pride in knowing that I could race a bmw x3 and leave it in the dust (hands down). It only takes about $25-30 to fill up (for now) but I find myself stopping for gas more often than I did with my old crv. I also like the options that were included on my vehicle --- I have the side curtain airbags, uphill and downhill assist control, the in dash 6 disc player with the subwoofer,and the tourneau cover and net. I really like driving on the freeway because the passing/merging power is second to none.

  LOVIN THE RAV 4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Jim - November 6 - 4:43 am

  I bought the 2006 Toyota Rav 4 Sport and I love it. This is my first SUV. The Rav is spacious and very agile. It has a BMW X3 look to it and I get alot of compliments on it. The ride is smooth and off road it handles like a charm. The 2.4 liter is pretty good on gas on my stop and go commute to work.
