2004 Toyota RAV4 review from Ghana
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I bought the base 4WD edition over a month ago, and I must say, I'm very impressed.
The car is quite stable and very swift with the manual transmission. Those of you who think the 2.4L engine lacks adequate power should try the manual transmission.
Fuel consumption of this car is also very efficient. I dare say it's almost at par with my previous GEO Prizm or even better.
The engine is silent at idle, and sometimes gives the false impression it's stalled. On the other hand, it is a bit noisy at high speeds so make sure your audio works!
