Awesome Buy - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By LG - November 29 - 4:43 amI bought it new 2007 Limited. Love it. If you are talking on phone and Bluetooth is activated. As soon as you start your car your call gets transferred to your car speaker and built in mic. Hands-free driver. No need to turn off or lower the volume, it will switch automatically to call when you receive a call too. Extra storage in the trunk. Cargo net and other good stuff is awesome.

Great SUV! A Must Buy!! - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By Kim - November 27 - 8:56 pmIve had my 2008 Limited Rav 4 for 1 month and I just love it! I went from a 4 Runner to a Rav 4 because I decided that I didnt need as much room for my future purchase of a car. I also wanted a vehicle that had better gas mileage. So far, I get about 22-24 miles/gallon. Thats great compared to my 15-17 in my 4-Runner. I love the way the Rav 4 drives (its smooth and very fast) and I like the amenities (heated seats, bluetooth, tire indicator, temperature view, auto seat up and down control, etc). Moreover, I like the design of the dashboard. Its innovative. I encourage you to buy the Rav 4 Limited. You wont regret it.

Quite possibly the Perfect Vehicle - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By sp33dy_gr33n - October 23 - 8:00 amAbsolutely love this vehicle. It is very quick with the V6 engine, and gets great gas mileage (25 mpg) for a 4wd, V6, SUV. The dimension of the vehicle are great too. Not too big, and not too small, and looks great.

LOVE my new RAV4 Limited - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By jude - September 1 - 6:16 amIve had it less than a week and couldnt be happier (so far). I had test driven six other vehicles from Subaru to Honda to Jeep, etc. It is such a comfortable drive, esp. with the power drivers seat that includes lumbar support. I find the ride to be quiet and it accelerates quickly. I absolutely love the design of the dashboard and the displays. The leather wrapped steering wheel is wonderful and it can be adjusted easily. This vehicle has far exceeded my expectations, esp. after having driven six others.

Lovin my Rav4 - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By matxutca - July 29 - 2:36 pmIve had my 2008 V6 4WD Rav4 for a week and lovin every minute of drivining it. Ive already tested the PSI warning light as I had a nail in the tire within a few days of purchasing. Had the light not gone on, I suspect I would have had a flat tire vs. being able to check it out before it went completely flat. Engine very quiet - to the point it sounds like it stalled. Its the perfect size - takes up the same space in the garage as my Volvo S70 - maybe even a little less space.

Decent Vehicle - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By RINNC - July 27 - 12:43 pmDrove this car for about 2 yrs. Fabric seats are comfortable on long distances,seat material started pilling shortly after purchased. Dealer replaced but same thing happened. Position of controls well placed. Radio sounds great and subwoofer in rear door does not rattle. Mp3 jack was stupidly placed in the cntr console below the power outlet. Lots of hard plastic but it does not look cheap. Handled well in the snow,only have front-wheel drv. The original tires wore out to fast. Cant see backlit orange temp and radio cntrl with sunglasses on. Back cargo net is cheap. Torque steer when accelerating.

Love My RAV4 Sooo Much - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By Excellent Crossover - February 11 - 11:30 amBeen owning for about a month now and put about 800 miles on it. All I can say is nothing but good impression of everything that comes with it. Plenty of power to fool around on the road, handling is just like a car, gas consumption is impressive for a 3500 lbs crossover SUV(got average of 21 miles/gal). Design of the interior is as good as sedan but too much plastic materials used. Toyota did a good job to fool your eyes (youll think its a leatherette from a distance). This is the reason why I took 1 point off the interior design evaluation points. I love how the exterior look, from the headlights(resembling BMW headlights) to the curve line on the sides, side mirrors, but weird rear-end.

Proud to Own My Rav - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By Bill - December 19 - 3:33 amI own a 2008 RAV Sport V6 with 4WD. I love my new vehicle and hope that it will be as reliable as I have read. Full economy is currently about 21.5 avg MPG to 24.5 MPG. This is driving gently while trying to avoid quick starts and hard stops. I would like better fuel economy but the RAV is still a best in its class. I had body moldings installed as I was worried that the unprotected doors would get dinged to easily.

A very fun and reliable SUV - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By Diego - December 18 - 6:53 amPurchased in Nov 2007 and simply love driving my new 2008 RAV4. Im amazed at how agile and fun this thing drives. Its like driving a peppy little sports car that sits high off the ground. The vehicle is well engineered and the traction control and 4wd provide impressive handling in the snow. The only downside I see to the vehicle is somewhat lower mileage than I had hoped for/expected. I get around 23-24 mpg on mixed city/highway driving.

Love Love Love - 2008 Toyota RAV4
By Pickles - November 23 - 7:33 amIve had my car since May 16th, 2008 and just love it. Its Everglade Metallic, beautiful green color, it does look silver sometimes. I love the moonroof, didnt think I would, nice to watch the rain. Back seats have lots of leg room. We seem to get good gas mileage, havent been on a long trip yet though. I love the inside door handles, very neat looking and the bluetooth is great. I also had to get dealer to help me with that. I had a 2000 Rav 4 and this is much larger and still easy to drive and park. I did have a Nissan Murano that was totalled in October.
