1998 Toyota RAV4 GX 5-door review from UK and Ireland
General comments?
My wife's car.
Feels like space hopper after driving my other car (Subaru Impreza Turbo). Fits full size pram in boot without taking it to bits.
Rolls more than a car. 30mpg round town.
Front seats lacking in support slightly.
Panels a bit flimsy.
Very practical. Good visibility. Excellent levels of equipment (electric sunroof, windows, mirrors, a/c, heated mirors, lockable centre diff, surprisingly adequate radio). Group 9 insurance. Burns off Suzuki Vitaras.
