2002 Toyota RAV4 The "E" Package with sunroof : review from North America
""This car is ULTRA Reliable, and ULTRA Fun!!!""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When we first got the car, there was a rattle coming form the dash. It took the dealer 6-8 time to rid the car of this. Otherwise, an excellent ride! Nothing at all to date>> knock on wood!!!
General comments?
I love the fuel economy... much better than the Jeep Liberty (not to mention reliability!). This car is no muscle car, but for its engine size and great fuel economy, this 2.0 liter engine can really move the car. I love the full-time 4wd. Never slippede once in the winter (even if I tried) with bald tires!
Overall, I would rate this as an excellent vehicle, because it has fufulltime 4wd (the only compact suv to have it in 2002). Great fuel economy, reliability (this car is always parked outside in -40 weather and always starts-touch wood). It's very fun to drive and it handles like its on rails (you'll be amaized)
THIS CAR IS VERY VERY STYLISH- Mine has a rear spoiler, hood deflector, fender flairs and its onyx black. In 2006, this car looks brand new.
One last note; Take care of this car, and it will return the favour... with flying colours. -We change the oil every 5000 km and use premium fuel.
