  • Fast Rav4 - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Fast little crossover with loads of power. Sport handling is excellent with firm ride and tire grip. Good amount of storage and great flip seats. Perfect for us and our dogs.

  • V6 Base AWD - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    I compared the RAV4 vs CRV and eventually got the RAV4. The RAV4s interior feels cheap - I like the CRV interior better and the CRVs top mounted rear door make more sense. But the RAV4 won me over the CRV with the V6, handling and the interior cargo space. CRV only has 52 inches while RAV4 flow flat back seat gave me 70 inches. The RAV4 has more room and is more comfortable.

  • Could have been a lot better - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    The RAV4 has some noteworthy strengths, including the peppiness of the 4-cylinder engine. I like the outside appearance and the look of the tan and black interior is nice. However, the interior build quality is severely inadequate. It doesn’t look like the interior is going to hold up very well, especially considering its POOR suspension. If you hit a good sized bump, like a pothole or railroad crossing, prepare to cringe! It feels like the car is falling apart.

  • Was wanting a little more - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Dont get me wrong I love my Rav. I went from a nissan to this and it is a definite step up. The gas mileage isnt as high as the sticker said. There is a need for mud guards or you will have chips on the sides. I wanted a dark interior so had to "settle" for the sport model but really wanted the limited. But TOYOTA is still number 1 in my book. We had an 89 toyota pick up and I loved it. It is still on the road and going strong. My cousin has it now - not a family vehicle after the kids got taller. I bought the extended warranty so I am good for 10 years bumper to bumper and I know the Rav will hold up for those 10 years.

  • 2007 RAV4 Base Model - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Almost everything is as advertised about the base model 4WD 2007 RAV4 except for the front seat comfort and the spare tire cover. The front seat comfort is really horrible. If you value the lumbar area of your back, you will not get the standard seats. Do what you have to do to get better seats. Also, the stock spare tire cover is going to be impossible to get back on correctly. There is not enough room to get your fingers and hand around the sides of the spare tire. Im looking for some kind of replacement cover. The manual says Im supposed to have a cover with a latch, but all I have is a cover that has stretchy material around it.

  • Fun to drive - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    I just purchased this vehicle last month, and so far Im really enjoying it. I previously had a Honda CR-V, but was unable to buy another one because we are stationed in Germany, and they dont get CR-Vs at the American dealerships here. I settled for the RAV4, but so far I like it a lot. Its a little bit bigger than my CR-V, but not so big that I have trouble parking it or navigating down narrow streets. We got the third-row seat option, which I think will come in handy when we start a family or have guests! Not too noisy when driving 80+ mph down the Autobahn! One thing I dont like is a very large blind spot on driver side between windshield and driver door.

  • What 2 Do - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Juzt bought a used rav4 2007 @ 37,000 paying about 18,000 for it and at 4th day literally it did not want to start for me as I left my night job. Did the same thing in the morning and Im not sure what to do. Love the look and the way it drives but Im not a hard core driver and do not travel anywhere far. Did I get jipped and bought a lemon or should I continue to give this car a try.

  • Engine Whine Noise - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    RAV4 has good features but the engine whine noise starting at 40 mph detracts from all of the positive features. Of course the service department has indicated that there is no technical notice from Toyota regarding this problem. I prefer the quality of our 1994 Highlander.

  • Big Disappointment - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    My Rav 4 has 67000 miles and needs a new short block. The car is using too much oil. Estimated cost of repair is over $5000.00. In addition, the the light on the HV/AC controls need to be replaced. While under warranty we had to have the steering shaft and water pump replaced. I have had great experience with Toyotas in the past. But, this is not acceptable.
