Overview & Reviews

Already sporty-looking, the RAV4 compact SUV gets even sportier thanks to a new optional sport package that adds a new grille, a hood scoop, color-keyed door handles, heated exterior mirrors, tubular roof rack and gray-painted bumpers and overfenders. Inside, the package adds special sport fabric seats.

• Steers and handles like a car, thoughtful cabin design, well-built interior.

• Small displacement engine for the class, noisy, most of the desirable equipment is optional.

  Great Little SUV - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By James Thomas - September 15 - 2:00 am

  I have owned several vehicles as well as other Toyotas and I can honestly say that the 2003 RAV4 S model is the most fun to drive. True, it is not a powerhouse, but it is not designed to be. The 4 wheel drive is flawless and I could not tell the difference between it and the 2 wheel drive model. The interior is the usual Toyota quality and the exterior is awesome.

  one mans opinion - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Jeffber - June 21 - 2:00 am

  This car is fun to drive and the looks with the sport package are better than all the other compact suvs. The seats could use lumbar support. The performance is ok for a 4 cylinder (it’s not a race car). The gas mileage is awesome. The ride and handling are great. I purchased this because I have 1 child and another on the way and the ranger extend cab wasn’t going to cut it; this suv is perfect for me. The legroom in the back is ok for kids but 4 adults riding in this car would not be comfortable.

  I love my car - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Ravfan4life - May 17 - 2:53 am

  I have not had any problems with my lovely RAV since I drove it off the floor. I can use it to haul anything and it is comfortable and super fun to drive. It is a little light on the ice, but it handles Minnesota winters like a trooper.

  Best Car Ever! - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By juliev - April 17 - 9:56 am

  I have had my Rav for over 4 years, but almost 100,000 miles on it and aside from new brakes, tires and regular maintenance...Ive never needed to do anything to it. I love this car, its perfect for 2 adults and maybe one child and a dog. The only problem I have is the back seat is too small. We have a one year old, with one on they way and we need to upgrade....cant fit 2 car seats in the back unless you want your knees in the glovebox. Aside from back seat, its a great car with room in the trunk for lots of stuff (including a giant stroller) and it drives great. I would recommend it to anyone!

  Our First SUV - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By B.P.B - February 20 - 10:00 am

  It was a little hard to find the exact options we wanted with a manual trans but we managed to get everything but the ABS in our final choice and I was very happy with our final price. It is a VERY comfortable ride and so far we are getting decent MPG with city suburb driving 26MPG. The only complaint is what everyone else is saying....more power.

  Awesome - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Mike Catlin - February 7 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is awesome. From the first time riding in it, I fell in love. Styling is great, it steers like it is on air. Im 6 foot tall, and it is more comfortable than my dads full size car. So many little things they have done to make you feel great about your purchase.
