  History of problems - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By jimdereynier - August 4 - 4:57 pm

  2007 Rav 4 First 100,000 miles= a real problem At 80,000, external oil line blew- lost all oil but was just coming up an I 95 ramp so I was able to save engine- This occurred before the recall- - Bad battery in the first 18 months. - $600 air bag electronic line went bad- no recall. - Disk brake rotor plate- front and rear and to be replace- under 60,000 miles. 100,000- to 238,000 - Car works like a Toyota - and even get much better mileage than the first 100,000.- Bottom line- the engineering team should have been fired.

  Really fun to drive - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By Chris Kingston - July 17 - 1:40 pm

  I love my new RAV4. It is a kick to drive, has lots of room for my groceries, chicken feed and dogs. My only complaint is the gas mileage. I am not getting anywhere close to 27 mpg, and if anyone should, its me. I live in a very rural area and do not do any "stop and go" driving." For a matter of fact, every tank so far has gotten worse. I started at almost 27 mpg and when I filled up today only got 22mpg. My first oil change is about 60 days away so I am hoping that the dealer can make some adjustments that will help.

  Dont fall for Toyota reputation- its garbage - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By Onlybuyinghonda - July 10 - 9:29 pm

  I dont even know where to begin. We are in a time crunch and needed to buy a car and we had always heard that Toyotas were very reliable and dependable. We are loyal Honda owners however we figured wed give a Toyota a chance. We bought a used 2007 RAV4 with clean car fax from a reputable dealer and low miles (72k, which for a nine-year-old car is great). The dealership had changed the oil and done a complete tuneup before selling the car to us, however we had the oil change just 3000 miles later after we bought it and the person changing our oil said he couldnt believe the car was still functioning because there was almost no oil left. This is a consistent problem with Toyotas. We also had issues with the engine making noises and check engine light coming on sporadically. The car would shake and rattle and we had to have the oil changed four times in the less than six months we owned it. The worst part was when the air conditioner died and all of the coolant was leaking out through the front onto the driver and passengers feet!! The car would shake and rattle and we had to have the oil changed four times in the less than six months me owned it. The worst part was when the air conditioner died and all of the coolant was leaking out through the front onto the driver and passenger sides feet! Worst money we ever spent. If youre considering buying a used RAV4, please look into the fact that this year had over 12 recalls alone. There are known issues and the dealerships and Toyota are not good at taking care of these issues. They tried to put a Band-Aid on them and people like me suffer. I shouldnt have needed to buy a new car six months after owning this one. It is such a shame. From now on I am only buying Honda. For those of you thinking about this model please run dont walk. Look for a 2001 or 2002 Honda CRV. Much more reliable or you could get a Honda element which is even larger interior space and much more dependable.

  Fits the bill. - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By Old Grump - July 3 - 1:46 am

  I wanted a vehicle with a proven track record, more cargo area than a small sedan, decent power and fuel economy. The RAV4 fits the bill perfectly. The V6 is stout without totally compromising fuel economy. The ride is firm but comfortable. Handling is agile and predictable. Interior/exterior is stylish and driver-friendly. Avg 23 mpg commuting which is a mix of expressway and stop-go traffic. Trips? 27.5 mpg averaging 70-80 mph. For myself, its practical yet still fun to drive.

  Smooth Hwy, Little Rough Local Part 3 - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By sy - June 16 - 9:43 pm

  Follow up to my 10/21/08 review. Hesitation while accelerating is still there, just had to get used to it. Sometimes still annoying when you need to give it some gas, the vehicle doesnt move right away. Im not convinced its torque steer. Im back to premium gas to see if helps, not it. Still dont think its the trans. Dealer says its, "manufacturer computer programmed". I guess its better than it accelerating by itself. Look for VVT-I Oil Hose Replacement recall. Enter VIN on Toyota website to find out about yours. All in all, it still drives well, though. The styling hasnt changed much on the RAV4s, so I feel it was a good choice made then. Recently got asked if it was 2009 or 2010.

  get the V-6 - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By natureloveit - June 11 - 5:46 pm

  Had a crv 2002. This Rav4 is better in every way. V-6 is fast but still very quiet and economy pretty good with 5 speed automatic. Like the fact that you can pick your options.

  Great vehicle - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By bendgolfer - June 5 - 12:46 am

  Very fun to drive, but also very practical. Mileage is great, even at 75mph +. Acceleration is awesome, great for passing. Just need two more inches of leg room and this car would be a perfect 10.

  Solid SUV - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By BRAVEHEART - April 5 - 6:53 pm

  Replaced a 2000 Subaru Forester S 5MT with this vehicle for me to drive to work for 2 years and hand off to college bound child. It is very safe, secure and surprisingly fun and agile. Went with 2.4L engine for better mileage and to prevent my teenager (and me) from excessive speeding. Huge cargo area, especially without 3rd row can hold all my sporting gear. Very smooth and quiet engine and cabin. Sunroof does not take up headroom. Back seat room terrific compared to Forester and averaging same MPG (25) but now with automatic, much larger vehicle, more features and more comfortable ride with same nimble and sporty ride.

  Fun and Fast - 2007 Toyota RAV4
  By ROD - March 10 - 9:00 pm

  I wanted an SUV that gets better mileage than the big ones and still have the room for trips and hauling stuff. I tow my 2 snowmobiles so this was perfect since it will handle 3500 lbs. I have been getting about 25 mpg and have not had any problem after 6 months and 6k. It has surpassed all my expectations and is fun to drive and it gets down the road in a hurry. Highly recommend it.
