2002 Toyota RAV4 d4d review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant, but sporty little 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
The 3 door 2l turbo diesel is a brilliant little 4x4. It handles really well on the UK's icy roads during winter. But not too sure how it would handle in mud or thick sand. For a 4x4 its pretty quick, I have had 110 mph out of her on the open road.
Roomy cabin and a good dash layout. Mind you Toyota wanted £700 extra to install a cd shuttle. That's a bit of a rip off in any language.
The dealership was good, honest and to the point. Customers are treated well and in a professional manner.
The first yearly service was £106. This was at 5000 miles. The engine oil and filter was changed and the Rav was checked over by the mechanic. The oil alone on the service was £30.
All round trouble free motoring. My next car will be another Toyota.
