  • I love the RAV4!! - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Ive only had this car for less than a month and I have to say that I just love to drive it! For a 4 cyl. this car can move through traffic and has great acceleration onto the freeway ramps. It looks beautiful from the inside and out with lots of room in the cargo.

  • Best Test Drive Ever - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    One hour + test drive was the best after 3 months of looking. 07 Rav 4 Sport has good power and performance. Interior and cargo space great! Like being able to lock in 4WD in low speed. 18 inch wheels cool. Easy to get in and out of.

  • My first Car - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    2007 RAV4 was the first car I ever owned! And I loved it, Im sad to say that I totaled it after three years. I never had any problems with it at all, I put one set of new tires on it and had oil changes and that was it. Comfortable, spacious, good turn radius, decent gas milage and cute. Just dont t-bone a blue mustang and it should last you a really long time like most toyotas.

  • Paint Problem - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Bought my RAV in Febuary 07, and recently noticed a variation in the Barcelona Red Panels on the rear door surrounding the spare tire cover. Informed dealer, regional service manager and the Corporate Customer Center in CA. Noted that same problem was on a vehicle from GA, and conversed with other dealers regarding same, noting from them it is common on all RAVs to have discoloration thru out the rear door. Advised corporate of problem by both myself and the district service rep. stating that it was a manufacturing/paint problem not a servicable problem. Other than that, I get 25 mpg on country roads and only moan when going up a hill with the cruise trying to find the right gear.

    You can own it for years

  • Secret Rocket V6 version - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Rav4 means quality and performance. I urge you to test drive one that matches your personality. I can only talk about the more powerful V6 2WD version with 269 horses. Driving the Rav4 (V6 2WD) is like driving a rocket. I bought the V6 base and it is fast. The transmission is a little touchy but it really kicks into gear when needed. The list 0-60 time is 6.6. I have smoked many 30K sedans off the line. I can have fun and still have room for friends. If you want a fast, quality, functional ride you should look into getting one.

  • Great improvements, mostly - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    This my 4th Rav4. Ive owned 98, 01, 06 and this 07. This model has incredible power, which is why I traded back my 06 V6. The roominess is a great improvement to old models, as is quality of interior/exterior. The gas mileage is nowhere near advertised. The cup holders should have been kept the same as 01-05 versions, Im tired of spilt coffee and looking for places to put drinks on long drives. Overall, I just love this vehicle.

  • oil burning Rav 4 - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    the first Rav 4 I had (2006) was a "lemon" as whenever it rained the car flooded. So Toyota did replace the car after I got a lemon law attorney. This 2007 is guzzling oil and the representative I just spoke with me told me 1 quart for every 1000 miles is normal. WHO ARE THEY KIDDING? And the car has had maybe 6 recalls. Toyota deserves to be out of business.

  • Engine Whine - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Our Rav4 problem is that the engine(6cyl) starts to whine at 40mph and continues at higher speeds although it is somewhat less obvious due to wind and road noise. I have never seen a review where an owner is concerned about this problem. Dealer says no technical notes from Toyota. Looks like we dump the car.

  • Dumb water pump location - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    I bought my Rav4 used about a year and a half ago. No, problems up until recently. My Rav turned 90,000 miles and I took it in for an oil change and the mechanic told me that the water pump was failing. Normally, this is a pretty simple repair on most cars but for the V6 specific Rav4 the water pump is buried behind the engine and requires the mechanic to lift or drop the engine to get to the water pump. So, its about a 700-1000 issue to fix and most all V6 Ravs will need this nearing 100,000. Just a heads up! Otherwise, I love my Rav4!
