  Simply Spectacular! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Hunch - June 24 - 5:43 am

  I also own a 2006 BMW 325i, and I have to say that the new RAV4 V-6 is every bit as much fun to drive! The 269 hp engine delivers phenomenal torque, extending a challenge to my 325i for a race! Thumping the gas pedal is exhilarating and I cant recommend doing so highly enough! I leased this vehicle but will likely buy it at the end of the lease and just get leather seats installed. Itll be like a new vehicle and will probably only have about 30,000 miles by that time. And since its a Toyota, I figure Ill get another 270,000 miles out of it! If you havent driven the V-6 yet, get out there and run one! Youll love it!

  Love My New RAV4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By HappyWithRAV4!!!! - June 17 - 4:50 pm

  I am absolutely in love with the Rav4. There is no question this is the best SUV I have ever driven. It looks as good as it drives and I love the space inside. The color is beautiful (nautical blue) and I love the interior. I only have a 2 wheel drive and a 4 cylinder, but it has enough get up and go for me. Talk about great gas mileage. I went from a gas guzzler and now to this. I am in heaven. I think that I will have this car for a long time to come. No doubt it will be one of my favorite toys.

  Safest Car Ive Ever Seen - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By whisper292 - April 28 - 8:04 pm

  Overall performance was great, but the car really pulled its weight during a recent accident. My 17-year-old flipped the car three times going about 70 mph and landed on the drivers side in a ditch. The car was totaled, but thanks to seatbelts and side airbags, she walked away with barely a scratch. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  Owning the RAV4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Mike Rhodes - March 6 - 11:23 pm

  I own the Limited 2wd version and am extremely happy with the vehicle. Mileage on first tank of gas was 28 mpg (half city & half highway miles). Acceleration and performance are suberb - drives like a 6 cylinder. Smooth handling and terrific turning radius make this vehicle a real pleasure to drive. Satellite radio is awesome and the JBL sound system is excellent. Road noise is almost non- existent (I bought the Toyoguard that most dealers in the Southeast put on their cars - includes soundproofing which works quite well). The cargo capacity is excellent - much better access and capacity than my 98 Pathfinder. I looked at RX 330s, and for the money the RAV4 is much better value.

  Excellent SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By dwill - January 31 - 7:03 pm

  This is my first SUV and Im very happy with it. The V6 has more power than you will need, but I thought the 4 cylinder was underpowered. Very smooth transmission. There is plenty of room in the back and I like the levers that allow you to drop the rear seats from the cargo area. Doesnt feel "big" while driving and is very easy to park. Gas mileage with a V6 of this power is exceptional! Well worth the money.

  Great Decision - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By JB - January 30 - 6:40 am

  I have had the car for 6 weeks/1300mi now and am very pleased. The interior is very comfortable and it drives great. The gas mileage is a little lower than I had hoped. So far I have averaged 25-26mpg, 80percent hwy/20percent city. Its been a hot summer so I am hoping it will get better when I can turn the a/c off. Speaking of a/c, it has had trouble keeping up a couple of times when its 103 degrees out. I live in Texas. Works great most of the time though. I would say the RAV4 definitely looks and feels more expensive than it is. Ive seen several people checking it out on the road.

  Highly recommend! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Nicole - January 28 - 3:30 am

  I love my RAV4! I have had great experience with Toyota cars and was watching the RAV4 for a few years, but was disappointed in the rear seat and cargo space - until the 2006 model! The back seat space is awesome, and the seats even recline. The cargo space with the seats up is excellent, and with the seats down, its hard to believe its a "small" SUV. The audio system is excellent, ABS is standard, as is traction control, and the hamdling is responsive and nimble. I even went on a trip in March and got 34 mpg! Great car!

  Excellent car! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By bzktnkorn5 - January 23 - 5:26 am

  My familys had a 96 Rav4 for 10 years now, and we love that thing, but now that the new ones have arrived, we love this one even more! Its fun to drive, and its a lot more comfortable than the older model we own. (Ive found that on long car trips my legs start hurting because the seats are so stiff, not a problem on this model!)
