2005 Toyota RAV4 Base review from North America
"Best SUV out there!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems to report!
General comments?
The V6 is incredibly quick and definitely doesn't lack any "get up and go". The 5-Speed transmission really helps keep the car running efficiently and quietly... and of course helps on the gas mileage!
I have the 17 inch tires on it and they ride very nice... there is also moderate to little wind noise and would be less I'm sure if it wasn't so windy around here in the last few days!
It has TONS of space in the back - it will definitely serve its purpose when it comes to trips! The back row of seats is comfortable and conveniently fold down to create even more room in the back!
I like all the safety features and the fact that it has a low field of gravity, making roll-overs less likely.
Overall, I love the car and after 100 miles on mine and 2 other test drives, I can't complain!
