2004 Toyota RAV4 CV review from Australia and New Zealand
"Never looked back!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Car is now 17 months old and nothing has gone wrong, mainly due to the low kilometers as we live in a small town. Our cars are generally only kept for 2 or 3 years so we encounter no problems.
General comments?
The car was purchased for its height, making entry and exit easier, after many decisions it came down to the Rav4 CV or the Honda CRV, the Rav4 won in the end because of its end price and our history of excellent Toyotas'. A noticeable absence from the Rav4 is ABS. Not a major problem, but Fog-lights weren't included unlike the previous Rav4 Edge, the black plastic ovals in their place don't look too good.
