1995 Toyota RAV4 2.0

Summary:

A bit thirsty, but recommended

Faults:

Nothing really.

General Comments:

Handling and fuel consumption not the best attributes of this car (compared to some sedans and hatchbacks from Toyota), but OK given that the car weighs around 2 tonnes and is a 4wd.

Front seats are relatively comfortable, rear seats are best for around town; not comfortable enough for long trips (say more than 1.5 hours).

Reasonable boot space, parts easy to obtain.

Useful for ski trip for four (being a 4wd with high ground clearance). Also I've occasionally taken the car to the beach for a drive.

Another advantage of having high ground clearance is that the car can be driven around town without having to slow down at those speed bumps :-)

You have overestimated the weight of your RAV4. According to manufacturer's handbook, it has a curb weight of approx 1320 kilogrammes (1.320 tonnes). This is nowhere near 2 tonnes.

Summary:

Great!

Faults:

Nothing!!!

General Comments:

Timing belt replaced at 95,000, for a 4WD the car handles very well, the 2.0ltr engine is very quick with a lot of power. The ride height is perfect overall the best car I've owned.

I have the four door and there is a lot of room, only one problem it has a lot of road noise at speeds over 80kmh, but apart from that it's hard to fault the RAV.
