2002 Toyota RAV4 L review from North America

Nothing yet. The car was used when I got it, so the engine had already been broken in. They did a perfect job. Not a rattle or squeak anywhere.

My first car was a 1979 Corolla and I absolutely loved it. I've always wanted to get another Toyota and I've finally been able to save up enough for my down payment.

I've always been impressed with the Toyota reputation, and even more impressed with the handling and performance they have acquired over the years.

I fell hopelessly in love with my little Rav4 when I first saw it. It just wouldn't stop saying my name.

I love the way it handles and the fact that it rides more like a car than a burly truck. I definitely love owning a vehicle with the little silver Toyota symbol on it. And the added benefit of heated outdoor mirrors gives it extra appeal. It is very comfortable inside and very easy on the eyes.

I do have to mention that I was looking for a small SUV with enough room to be comfortable and fit my budget. The smaller SUVs like the Isuzu Amigo did not offer enough room for me. Being 5'10" and all legs, I had to find something that offered enough leg room without squishing my backseat passengers. Although it may be lacking in power, I have a lead foot so together we even out.

From skiing the slopes with my sister to plowing the back roads with my brother, I definitely get the green looks of envy. All said and done, I am most definitely happy with my Rav.
