  Almost perfect... - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By stephanie - October 17 - 2:33 am

  Wanted a mid-size SUV and hated everything out there except Rav4. Stylish outside and high-tech inside. Other comparable vehicles out there did not match up. I wanted a luxury vehicle without the luxury price. The Rav4 is almost perfect.

  Whole new level above - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Mike - October 9 - 11:53 am

  My wife has been driving an 03 Rav4 limited 4WD since getting it new and has been very happy with it. And I wanted one also. So when the 06 was announced I thought we should go check it out. Well I was blown away at the improvements Toyota made with this new RAV4. We bought it for a few % above what the 03 cost us even though both were loaded. Everything about the design is impressive. The size and MPG it gets are hard to believe. The inside styling on the L version is really nice. The general feel of the vehicle is fantastic

  Very Nice - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Dan - October 6 - 11:56 pm

  Got my Rav one month ago. First thing is that its great on hills and excellent off start. Holds plenty of gear with great cargo room and system. Seats are great but had leather put in aftermarket (not an option on sport) I miss my satellite radio so awaiting for dash fit kit, but sound of jbl speakers are great. Waiting to see how it rides in snow. Fit and finish of parts are clean, tight and look great. Great on long highway trips and fuel economy has been 26 mpg. Wish it had full time 4wd ability for heavy rain and snow. Toyota needs to offer satellite as option or the connection for it. Only serious complaint is that you cant read radio and clock display in daytime or with sunglasses on.

  Nice Little SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4

  Worth the wait, which was quite long to get the combination I was looking for. Its a very practical and useful vehicle.

  Very pleased - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Tadams - August 29 - 5:06 am

  I went from a 92 Camry XLS (4-cyl) to 2006 Rav4 4x4 Base 4-cyl. Needed cargo room to haul band equipment. Rides very smooth and quiet, not quite as smooth as the Camry but still very good for a small SUV. 24 mpg city, 29.5 hiway, both with AC on max. I think Toyota makes a very good 4 cyl engine.

  Toyota Convert - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By RavFan - August 26 - 10:10 pm

  After previously owning/driving American-made cars, I can say that after driving the RAV-4, I may not go back. Although Ive only had the RAV for a few months, it feels like Ive been driving it forever. The ride is great, the new V6 gives it tons of power, and the larger size makes it a good fit for my family. Compared to the comparable SUVs I test drove (Ford Escape, Chevy Equinox), the RAV-4 blows away those competitors in my mind. Whether on the highway or hilly 2-lane mountain roads, Ive always felt in control behind the wheel. Thus far, I havent found a driving task that the RAV-4 couldnt handle.

  Exceptional quality and amenities for the price. Handles well and has surprising power for a 4 cyl. Plenty of room for both passengers & cargo. All the benefits of an SUV but rides like a car. Tight turning radius a bonus.

  The Perfect Small SUV - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Wally - August 9 - 1:40 pm

  This is truly a great small SUV. Since the 2006 RAV4 is now larger, it actually looks like a mid-sized SUV now. Gas mileage is great. It looks great. The V6 is very quick, and can easily pass by other vehicles on the road. In fact, it is faster than many vehicles out there today, including many sports sedans. It can reach 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, faster than any SUV out there. It is very roomy. Controls are nicely laid out. My RAV4 Limited came with factory installed heated leather bucket seats, which are very comfortable. If youre looking for a nice SUV, make sure you check out the RAV4!

  Fun and Fast! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Karen - August 5 - 11:30 pm

  I test drove crv, hyndai both tuscon and santa fe, liberty, escape. The Rav4 outperformed them all. The v6 is the fastest with its 269 horsepower, idles smooth. Good gas mileage for a v6. Some of the other makes had better features but the perfomance and safety of this car and reliability of toyota is what sold me. The outside styling is pretty cool, kind of a cross between the matrix and lexus. Just a fun car to drive. Would buy this car again.

  Great car, lots of power, high quality. - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Andrew - July 29 - 8:36 pm

  This car will exceed your expectations! You cannot find a better SUV for the price. Fast V6 at 269 horsepower and great fuel economy with 22 MPG city for me and 28 MPG highway. Great quality, no problems, large enough for the family and our Chocolate lab! Great Dog car, great for towing up to 3,500 lbs, great for hauling small to medium size stuff, great in the snow!
