1996 Toyota RAV4 GS 2.0 petrol

Summary:

Smart 4x4 with excellent performance

Faults:

Nothing of note.

General Comments:

Not very much boot space for a family of four. But with roof bars and a box there is more than enough luggage space for holidays.

Extremely quick off the mark and can break the ton barrier without trying. Bit heavy on juice on long trips though.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I think you're right about it being OK for a family of 4, I found the rear wheel arches encroached on the back seat space making it uncomfortable for the 5th passenger. overall great fun to drive and good in snow.

Hi, do you recommend it for an off road car? Because I'm thinking of buying one for the field, but do not know how they do off road?

Thanks.
