1995 Toyota RAV4 review from North America
"Love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love this car. I have had it for 15 going on 16 years.
The engine was recalled by Toyota several years ago and was replaced. Otherwise, I have spent some money over the years on a catalytic converter, and I replaced the transmission this year.
The air conditioner pump had to be fixed last year, and a power door had to be fixed. Otherwise only routine maintenance. I would buy this car again.
The only thing I noticed in many cars like mine was the poor paint on the hood; it started to peel and rust the first few years I had the car.
General comments?
This car handles very well on the road and in icy conditions.
