  Perfect Mini SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By RDL - July 22 - 5:40 pm

  If youre looking for a mini SUV this auto is it. Get the V6 as the fuel economy is just as good as the smaller 4 cyl. and the V6 gives you the power you need uphill and to pass other vehicles. On the hwy the RAV holds its own and has a nice ride if youre going across town or on a trip. Looks great and runs great. Toyota hit a home run with this vehicle. The added length was a great addition as was the V6. The safety features such as the LSD and downhill features are great as they allow you to go places without needing a 4WD. I have the front wheel drive Sport model and I havent missed the 4WD feature yet. I get around on ice and slippery conditions just fine. Great auto.

  Great SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By KS - June 26 - 8:20 am

  No complaints here. I purchased as my first car that I am paying for. Dealership was a pleasure to work with. Got it for 21K out the door. Love the 6disc in dash and the control that this car has. It drives like a sedan but is an SUV. Coming from a small car with power nothing, I love all the standard features on this car. Fun and easy to drive, great gas mileage for an SUV, and is big enough to fit me and my friends comfortably.

  Very Pleased After 2 Months - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Gil V - June 19 - 2:13 pm

  This is a great small SUV. My MPG has varied from 24 to 29. It is fun to drive and just the right size. The only minor issue I have is that the I notice the A/C putting a minor drag on the engine when I am doing around 30 mph. Is is slight but I am going to ask about it when I go in for an oil change. Ive also notice that the slightest hill causes a downshift when I have the cruise control on. Other than that, this is a great car.

  Almost a year - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By raverrr - June 14 - 3:46 am

  I bought my Rav last year. I have absolutely no complaints about it. It has performed very well, no problems at all. I have the 4cyl 4WD which is very peppy, no problems passing on highways. Handles flawlessly on snow and ice. The only thing I would suggest to anyone considering a base model... dont. Mine is a base and I regret not getting the Sport for about 1200 more. Am not crazy about the base seats, theyre light colored and can easily show stains.

  Great car, picked it up with just 2 miles on it. Sold my 04 RAV for the 06 RAV and couldnt be happier. It is much better in every way.

  Fun Efficient Hauls a large amount - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By 96gc1owner - June 1 - 5:33 pm

  Went from a Dodge Grand Caravan to the RAV4 and am totally happy with the excellent use of space available in the RAV. Smart engineering makes reconfiguring interior to haul stuff a breeze. The V6 is the way to go. Gobs of power and a low of 22 mpg and high of 28 mpg (AWD model). Did not know we would like it so much or I would have popped for the Limited. However, Base has all you need.

  Excellent Car for the Money - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By lcmsgirl - April 22 - 3:06 pm

  This SUV has been a dream to own so far. I love having all the extra space when I am haulling things or kids around.

  Fun Drive - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Door County - March 30 - 8:36 am

  Ive had my Limited 2WD Rav for about 8 wks. Traded in Nissan Quest & am more than thrilled w/car. Great mileage (only fill up every 12 days or so), holds a ton of stuff w/seats down. Just moved daughter into 2nd apt. It holds a boatload of stuff! Discovered another site that mentioned cupholder "flaps." I also hated them because all cans, bottles flopped around in them. By pulling up on the "flap," the can or bottle becomes tight & no longer falls over when turning. Why this info wasnt in owners manual, I dont know!

  So Far So Good! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Quyen - March 23 - 11:00 pm

  Only had it for the weekend and 100 miles, but so far so good! Solidly put together with a reassuring thud when doors close. Car is definitely roomy enough in the back for babyseat and 2 kids. Interior ergonomics is perfect for a car of this price.
