Already sporty-looking, the RAV4 compact SUV gets even sportier thanks to a new optional sport package that adds a new grille, a hood scoop, color-keyed door handles, heated exterior mirrors, tubular roof rack and gray-painted bumpers and overfenders. Inside, the package adds special sport fabric seats.

• Steers and handles like a car, thoughtful cabin design, well-built interior.

• Small displacement engine for the class, noisy, most of the desirable equipment is optional.

  Great little SUV - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By SA174 - January 19 - 2:00 am

  So far it has been a great little SUV. Some have said the finish was not as good as other toyotas? We find it comparable to our Sequoia which is excellent.

  This is is my first Toyota and I LOVE it! Love the looks, the interior, the size ... I only wish it had a bit more passing power and side airbags!!! Would definitely buy one again!

  Are we talking about the same car? - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By ravenous - October 21 - 2:00 am

  No power? Come on, this thing is plenty peppy! Absolutely no problem on entrance ramps. (OK, so I dont exactly live in hill country.) As for the sound system, mines got bass to burn! And the controls are convenient and logical. The tweeters give it good presence. This car is a joy to drive, if a little bouncy in the ride. I suppose thats the tradeoff for its superior handling.

  The best SUV I have ever had! - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Arny - September 2 - 10:00 am

  I have been a lover of SUVs since 1988. I have tested almost the best of the most renown automobile manufacturers in the world. I have never had such a great feeling of stability and control while driving one. When behind the wheel, it give you the feeling that you and your RAV 4, are part of the same moving body, and you can actually feel the extension of your senses out of your body and around the vehicle. The first time I took the car for a test drive, it was so handy and easy, it gave the dealer the idea this is going to be my second RAV 4 in the garage! I have loved this model, and congratulate Toyota for such great success!

  Good small SUV - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By mln - July 27 - 2:00 am

  Very fun to drive. Great handling and manuverability. Excellent in the city. Power is certainly adequate. You can maintain 80 to 85 mph on the interstate easily. Gas mileage averages about 24 mpg. Easily pulls a small (4x6) trailer with a good load on it.

  Fun little SUV - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Fred - May 19 - 2:00 am

  Much more fun to drive than the CRV. With the smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission, the 2.0 VVi engine has adequate power with very good gas mileage--got 31 MPG on the first tank driving highway. My wife loves her RAV; great for our small family and trips around town.
