Taking a massive leap in complexity, build quality and cost, the third generation Toyota RAV4 moved away from the rather crude but fun image of the first generation car and middle of the road feel of the second. Opinions differ on whether it has moved price-wise beyond what the market will bear and steady rather than storming initial sales would seem to partly bear this assertion out. Up against a revitalised Honda CR-V and Land Rover Freelander, Toyota found conquest sales hard. As a used buy, it's typically Toyota with great service from franchised dealers and as close to guaranteed reliability as it's possible to get

I know it's an old video rehashed, but, a great review spoiled by excessively loud and unnecessary music 🔊

[@chillios2222]

2010, great rig , built very solid , back mounted spare, wide interior, used it as my work vehicle, literally working out of it , solid

[@thomasluggiero3413]

I love my 2010 V6 Limited AWD

[@KuyaOly]

I have the exact same model in red! And it has power, comfortable, and very vert reliable.

[@dalesmith4985]

I'm in Australia and haven't seen a v6 rav 4, only the 4 cylinder one that burns oil because of worn low tension piston rings.

[@graemegrant6669]

I’ve never seen the v6 in the UK not sure we have it which is a shame

[@KuyaOly]

@@dalesmith4985 wow 😯 that’s surprising

[@michaelmoore958]

I’m scared should I get that year for my mom ?

[@mattg8888]

...I am a bit confused about the statements on diesel engines. I have a third gen Rav4 from 2007 with the 2.2 dcat that has 177hp. That's actually the most common one here in Germany

[@rajvosagrad678]

It doesn't have CVT transmission!!! It has traditional automatic transmission with tourque converter (Aisin TB-61SN)

[@canadiansk8]

Best suv ever made, the window has closed on this built quality. No electronics or bells and whistles, the cockroach of vehicles.

[@HeatherRose_]

I'm looking at a 2009 Rav 4. Can you tell me if they are comfortable on a long drive?

[@canadiansk8]

@heathergravel5785 i bought coverado seat covers that have built in lumbar, extra padding, and bolstering that made it very comfortable on long drives. i made 18 hr drives with no discomofort. I strongly recommend them.

[@canadiansk8]

@@HeatherRose_ i would try to find a 2010 and up with the updated 2.5L 4 cyl motor

[@owainwilliams7993]

@@canadiansk8I wouldn’t the car I m the review is the best option for all round

[@albibushi3006]

I own one in 2023. Pros: 1. Versitile, agile 2. Robust and punchy in highway, even with 5 people on board 3. Surprisingly responsive in city traffic. 4. Good air conditioning/ Clima Cons: 1. Fuel economy might be very expensive for people who don’t want to spend a lot. 2. Oil consumption or leakage. Seems a frequent issue among used rav4s. I got mine fixed for a minimum of 65, yes only sixty-five euro service. 3. It is dull and boring both exterior and interior but it’s made for practical use and it is practical. Mine has 260,000 km. 4. The driver window button is nerve wrenching. Bottomline: if your Company covers fuel bills, it is sth to consider. Otherwise, if you are on a tight budget, i think better to look for another more fuel efficient suv or another category of cars like Mpvs or sedans. Tip: some brands have bad reputation for bad quality interiors and failing electronics, air conditioners like some german brand i need not even mention.

[@barneyboyle6933]

I don’t understand why you think its fuel economy is so bad. It seems above average for its segment

[@Krith220]

Surely you have the 2.0 vvti if fuel economy is bad?

[@albibushi3006]

@@Krith220 It's 2.2 diesel. it'S NOT that it's bad as for an SUV, probably very good. it's just that my perspective is that of an low wage employee from the Balkans. I find it very reliable but i cannot compare it to another SUV since i have not had any other car than a VW Touran with a 1.9 Tdi engine. That's my viewpoint in this comment section.

[@Krith220]

@@albibushi3006 in the review they mention 48 mpg which is under 5l/100km which is very good... now i doubt thats the consumption in the real world but even 6-7l/100km would be good in my opinion. How much does yours drink?

[@albibushi3006]

@@Krith220 in my case I, think it is beyond 7.5 but I don't want to claim that is common for all. Maybe I need to have it checked.

[@davidwayne9982]

They ARE the best of all-- but NOT the 06, they have electrical issues and more.... the ABSOLUTE best of these- 07 to 2012 ONLY... V-6, REAL trans, simple- bullet-proof!!!

[@Firlefranzz]

Is that true? I got an offer to buy a 2006 model. You wouldn’t recommend?

[@davidwayne9982]

@@FirlefranzzTHAT was the new V-6 year but with the new design came electrical issues-- there weren't that many--- but just to be safe- I look for 07 to 2012... What i'd recommend in that case- is get a AAA bumper to bumper inspection-- it would cost you about $100 but they check EVERYTHING- every electrical part- every connection- wiring harneses and everything mechanical as well and give you a very detailed report. You KNOW it's accurate because they are NOT allowed to do the repairs!!! They make their money by the report ONLY- and licensed under AAA which is VERY strict... THat way you'd know if anything needed "fixing"..

[@technologyandjobs5013]

Is the 2.2 diesel a good engine and does it have any serious problems? What should we look for when we are buying it?

[@eeiko321]

Man British are so weird. Using imperial and then metric and then imperial…. (BHP, kg & mpg…) Jesus confusing…..

[@CurboroughSprinter]

No different to tyres - diameter in inches, width in mm. Now, I’m off for a pint of beer. Or maybe a 75cl bottle of wine. 🤔

[@ThaGVPSon]

I pray to god i can get aplroved for a small loan and get an AWD v6 rav from around 2006 or 2007

[@3x_marou1ne]

nice

[@persikas2102]

Facts they are weird. Compare everything with pos fords.

[@jksouthern]

So where is the spare, run flats suck.

[@Krith220]

the exclusive trim i think its called has no spare, but its usually trunk mounted on the outside

[@trevorlintott598]

Mk 3 worst car ever, that's why mk 2 s still on the road 20 years later.

[@Krith220]

How is it the worst car ever? Family friend had one with 450k kilometers and just regular maintenance
