Overview & Reviews

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.

  A great vehicle to drive - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Kim-H.S. Golf Coach - August 23 - 2:00 am

  I bought my RAV4 last January and Im surprised at how much I enjoy it! I drive about 130 miles round trip to work, both city/highway miles, and Im averaging 26 mpgs. I can haul people/things with this vehicle. I havent noticed the lack of power that most people are griping about. My husband and I hauled butt, fully loaded, at 70+, in the Rockies with no problem. Hmmm, maybe some people just like to complain...or maybe I dont drive like a maniac! I have the all- wheel drive version, and it handles well in crappy, snowy driving conditions.

  This has been a very nice little suv vehicle for me. I travel a lot with my son and we can pack away our suitcases and still be comfortable and not crowded. It really serves my purpose

  Love this car - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Vinny - May 4 - 8:30 am

  Bought the vehicle used with 15k now at 38K. I keep up with maintenance with battery replacement just done. This has got to be the best vehicle I have every owned, reliable and fun to drive. Just the right size for city driving and parking with excellent gas mileage. I agree with other comments regarding engine underpowered on hills and steep inclines but in total a terrific vehicle. Bottom line I would buy it again. Too bad the new ones are so much larger.

  Love our RAV4s! - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By Barby - April 1 - 10:00 am

  We own a 1998 Rav4, decided to get a 2003. It is Spectra Mica Blue, with a moon roof, luggage rack, 2 WD auto trans, and Quick Pkg. Improvements since 1998 are impressive. The ride is smoother, seats are very comfortable, seating in the back is adjustable for more legroom, there are lots more nooks and crannies for storage, cup holders (4) that are adjustable, a neat little eyeglass holder hidden under steering wheel, nice small storage area under the floormat in back storage area, and a fishnet pocket on rear door. A compartment above the rearview mirror holds your garage door opener, etc. Better insulated agains road noise. City mpg 28.

  Great Mini SUV - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By CD#1 - April 1 - 10:00 am

  I Just purchased my RAV4 after researching for little over 6 months in the mini suv class. This is my first SUV, & I love it. So far, I am a happy first-time toyota driver. The ride is smooth, visibility is great, the stereo sound is perfect. I love the moonroof and overall sporty look of the RAV4 - it definitely stands out from the rest. The gas mileage also has been pretty good. My only complaint is the headrest is uncomfortable, and I am unable to get it to adjust just right.

  So Far So good - 2003 Toyota RAV4
  By miapoet - January 6 - 10:00 am

  I researched extensively before going to test drive Escapes, Libertys & the RAV4. Right after driving the RAV4, I bought it. The heck with the others! I think the engine is peppy enough & the gas mileage is comparable to the Ford Focus I traded. It rides good and looks stylish, sporty and cute. I now have a lot more room and the first day I made sure it could cross the creek to my favorite campsite! No problem!

  Have not had any problems so far and the RAV4 was bought in November and already has about 10,000 miles.
