  • Great Vehicle - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    I waited 5 months for a V6 Limited with factory leather to arrive at my dealer. I was about to give up, ask for my deposit back, and opt for an RDX or an X3. In addition to both vehicles being more expensive than the RAV4, I was concerned about gas mileage on the RDX and repair costs on the X3. The RAV4 was worth the wait. The vehicle is better than I expected. I got 25 mpg on my first tankful with combined city and highway driving, so it should get better from there.

    Ive had my 2007 RAV4 Limited for a little over 7 weeks and truly love it! Enjoy driving it. I was hesitant about purchasing a 4 cyl SUV after owning a V6 mustang, but it has great get up and go on the freeways and great handling. I feel safe and secure behind the wheel and the visibility is fabulous. Even my husband loves it. Toyota has made a superior and sporty looking SUV.

  • RAV4 Great! until water pump problem - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    The RAV4 is exceptional in handling and driving, I love it! CAUTION: One major downfall, I have to replace the water pump. Well in order to have the water pump replaced the engine has to be taken out, 14.5 hours of labor! The service guy quoted 14.5 hours labor! That totally crushed my opinion about the RAV4, its bad for the engineers/designer to place the water pump where the engine has to be removed to replace a simple device such as the water pump.

  • 5000 mile review - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    Bought the Sport 3.5 liter V6 4wd in April and enjoyed my first 5000 miles. The six cylinder feels powerful and propels 4 people up steep hills and highway on ramps with astonishing acceleration. The sport tuned suspension provides a firm ride which minimizes body roll when you push it into the curves. Interior is comfortable for 4, a bit snug for 5 although rear leg room is plentiful for my 6 foot teenager. The front seat is comfortable for me - I am 510, with a cranky back. We recently went on family camping trip and with a roof carrier had no problem carrying everything. Only two beefs: the gas tank of 14 gallons is too small - 300 mi. before you get nervous, and the radio stinks.

  • RAV4 - 2007 Toyota RAV4

    Fuel economy is a little less than hoped for, 22 - 25 MPG, but I drive at least 70 on freeway, air conditioner on much of time and I live in a hilly area so am expecting a lot for what car is put through. The iPod location is not the most convenient, nor is location of power outlets. Wish rear window opened, continental kit should have a locking system, looks good but door opening is a bit problematic... cannot carry things longer than interior. Love rear seat adjustments and fold down configuration, but middle seat is useless. Lots of power and turning radius is fabulous. Fun. Great visibility. Really like the RAV4, wish the emissions were a bit better but have a v6, so...

  • Love My Rav - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    I have had my Rav for 1 yr 5 months. I have no regrets. The reliability factor is a solid 10. It handles the road very well in all types of weather. I have noticed better gas mileage within the last 7-8 months. It is easy to drive. I love the amount of room I have for storage in the back. The glove box is quite roomy also.

  • Ultimate Q-Ship - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    I highly recommend this vehicle. I purchased the V6 Limited 4WD with leather, all accessories. Competition was the Honda CR-V which was, finally, no competition. Toyota V6 engine is effortless and power is remarkable. 5-speed transmission is smooth, quiet, unobtrusive. Transmission does not hunt. With V6 engine there is some torque steer, not much compared to other 270 HP engines. Interior is quiet; leather stitching is precise; beware: rear door is very heavy. HVAC is excellent. Real world MPG: first few tanksful of gas, 24.0, 24.6, 23.2 and 26.1. Conditions: Fresno, 95 to 106 degree heat, air conditioning, some freeway, some street. Be very judicious with throttle. 4wheel discs excellent.

    My husband and I were looking for an SUV without the SUV gas prices. We also live in Alaska so we wanted something that had 4X4 but was fun to drive, would be safe for when we start a family, and could handle the snow and ice. We could not be more pleased with what we got with the Rav-4. The AK weather tested the Rav-4 yesterday and as my husband was driving he looked at me and said, "I love this car." The Rav-4 handled beautifly. Also, having had Toyotas since I was 16 I had high expectations for the Rav-4 and it met every one of them.

    Very reliable and dependable

  • Mostly Happy with Purchase - 2007 Toyota RAV4
    By -

    The snappy appearance and features are nice. The V-6 is powerful at about the same size as the engine in our Highlander. I have read many of the customer reviews and did not see anyone mentioning an engine whine between 35-45 mph. I dont know if this is a problem with having the V-6 and only 2w drive (does the engine need more resistance?).
