  Joyce and Jims Rav 4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Joyce & Jim - February 11 - 10:30 am

  We were recently in a serious accident on a local freeway in southern California in our RAV4. The car is totaled. We were struck, tipped over and slid across 2 lanes. Because of the safety features of this car we walked away with a few bumps and bruises. We strongly recommend this car and are in the process of buying a new 2007 model.

  I will never sell!! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By Love my RAV4 - February 9 - 9:33 am

  I have loved every momemt of my RAV4 ownership. There is plenty of power for zooming around, the sport suspension makes driving on bumpy dirtroads smooth, and the 4WD has already gotten me out of a couple of sticky situations like it was nothing. Perfect blend of fun and utility, exactly what I was looking for.

  Not quite happy with my RAV4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By joelh1 - February 6 - 9:16 am

  The car is great looking, solid and is fun to drive. It has lots of storage and seems to have been designed with the drivers comfort and convenience in mind. MPG is a little disappointing as is vibration at idle when the air conditioning is on. The road noise is noticeable but not too annoying. The suspension is stiff and you feel the road but that may be part of the fun.

  A Wonderful Car - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By SCheng - January 28 - 10:43 am

  I have been waiting to get a 2006 RAV4. It is well worth the wait. It is much bigger than the previous design and many comfortable/convenient features in it. The one that we have is a 4-Cyl but it does have some power. I particularily like the 3-row seat. Although it is not too much leg room there, but hey, the 3rd row seat will be there when we need it. Many cup holders. Drives great in the snow. Also, it plays MP3 and WMA CD, as opposed to just regular audio CD (that means you can particularly burn a MP3 CD with over 200-300 songs in ONE CD).

  I love my new RAV! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By vivavegas99 - January 23 - 5:23 pm

  I just got my new RAV4 Limited 4WD V6 after wating a long 8 weeks. I have had so much fun driving this vehicle. It accelerates so smoothly and handles like the 2003 Corolla S we just traded in for it. The V6 is perfect for the driver that likes get up and go. It corners great and the steering is tight so you feel like you have control while you drive. It has a GREAT turning radius (I am used to driving a truck that didnt). I have only driven it 219 miles so far. The first tank of gas I got 19 miles per gallon. I figured itd be much worse on the first tank, especially because I do "jack rabbit" starts. I havent let my husband drive it yet! :-)

  I love it. As I do heavy traffic driving it has all the power I need to get me out of any situation. Plenty of cargo room, great fuel economy.

  20 Year Toyota Owner - Cant Beat It! - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By RIder - January 8 - 9:23 am

  Had it for about a month now... great to drive, very comfortable, smooth handling, roomy, great style, everything I wanted with great quality and workmanship. I would recommend this SUV or any Toyota for that matter to anyone. The 4cyl I think is fine and personally, I didnt see the need for the 6cyl. In any case, cant go wrong with a new 06 RAV4! Good luck with yours if you buy one!

  More of a blog - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By John Beven - December 9 - 4:56 am

  I have put 1000 miles on this RAV4 Sport 6. It goes very fast, and has many carelike qualities. A good thing. I cannot understand why Toyota puts that stupid radio antenna, waggling on the right side; especially in light of its excellent build quality. I have the JBL upgrade. So, it is incongruous to see a 1990s whip antenna! It comes with light truck tires. Mine with Yokahama Geolanders. That is nuts. One orders a sport 4 X 2. I will NEVER go off road. The logic is vacuous. Hence, I changed to the new, quiet, stickier MXV 4 S8 from Michelin. What a joy!. Now at 70, it does not sound or feel like a tundra. I have been to LA and back to LV. Excellent. The V6 for trips. The I4 for town.

  My rav 6 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By steve - November 8 - 8:36 pm

  Traded in a 4 runner for the rav4 to increase gas mileage. Ive gotten 30 mpg on the highway with the 6 cylinder, admittedly with conservative driving. The power with the v6 is outstanding! This is probably the fastest vehicle I have ever owned. I dont feel like I gave up all that much space as the rav is well packaged. Handling is very good. When winter comes I will find out about the 4wd system. The only drawback I have found is road noise. Its not bad but noticeable. More insulation would have been better.

  Rave about RAV4 - 2006 Toyota RAV4
  By William Chapman - October 1 - 4:30 pm

  For a 62" 250 pound male this vehicle amazes me. This is a gift for my wife but the more I ride and drive the RAV4 the more I like it. I can actually get in and adjust the very comfortable seats (front or rear) and have plenty of room to drive or ride quite comfortably. This little buggy is a gas to drive and easy to park - you can turn around on a 2 lane street with one turn. The 17" wheels and tires provide a stable ride and the 4 speed automatic shifts smooth as silk. Third row seating would be a criminal option for this car because the rear compartment configuration is excellent and well designed. Getting in & out was the biggest plus for my wife and me - absolutely the perfect height.
