2003 Toyota RAV4 4 WD review from North America
"A well built,, reliable SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, amazingly, I have had nothing go wrong with the RAV.
General comments?
I have had this RAV in the mountains, on the Interstates, in heavy traffic, and off-road, and, in each instance it has performed very well.
The room in the RAV is quite unbelievable.
Toyota has used every nook and cranny to provide extra storage space throughout the vehicle.
I am 6'3'', and just took the RAV on a 5700 mile trip, and the ride was quite comfortable for me.
I got between 25 and 32 mpg on this trip.
