this RAV4 is much more beautiful than the new one

[@obadiahkimani8510]

Sure is...

[@MegaMikeArnold]

Ditto. To my eyes these are classic Toyota older school design language, particularly the interior. However these are in general more substantial somehow than the redesigned 2013+. A classy, reliable, and practical ride for the ages and that V6 is dope. High resale on these is understandable. Nice video.

[@davidwayne9982]

And just BETTER too-- MUCH less "TECH " garbage- no robotic assist things to fight with-- no computer crap- or INFO bullshit. Just a GOOD vehicle with pep...and 4x4 (with an optional locker installed)... that will last MUCh longer than any of the new ones too!!!

[@JohnSmith-kf6nk]

Great SUV. I've clocked 145,000km on mine over 5 years and it still runs like new. Very quick for an SUV, turns into a Beast at 4,000 Revs. 5 speed auto is smooth and effortless.

[@antoniocognato5023]

these v6s were killer! and good in the snow! was yours made in japan?

Mine seems to turn on the juice at 3500 rpms, and around town, I'm breaking the law by the time it gets to 3500 rpms. An absolute beast!

[@plagick]

this is Toyota's fastest vehicle 0-60

[@justsaying4451]

I love the RAV4! I think the old-school ones are great! ❤️❤️

[@95thRiflesOCI]

its the 3.5L V6 that toyota shows can be such a smooth engine and efficent as well. Wished they kept it in the newer rav4. Its a proven powertrain and shouldn't be traded with a lame turbo.

[@MemphisMojo15s]

no turbo on the Toyota. just Lexus.

[@bill-vq7ch]

New rav4s aren't even turbocharged like wtf

[@shawnbernardi793]

Great all around rig.It is very versatile,reliable and fun to drive.

[@AMF96]

Very nice RAV4! I saw a road test for one of these from 2010. 0-60 6.4 sec and 1/4mi 14.9 @ 94 MPH.. definitely a sleeper Toyota!

[@CREATIVEreviews]

It was pretty good in it’s day

[@cindihodges7648]

i have a 2017 RAV4 4CL AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE 2012 LIMITED

[@dontmesswithpandas]

Personally I like the interior, I think the center stack needs some work done to it however, the rear seats as well as the trunk are very nice. Great review by the way!

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Yes, cat in a sweater, the rav4 is very reliable. It will last you a long time, good choice.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

I will be shortly. I just wanted to focus on reposting my old videos here. I will keep you updated.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Thanks! I know they made a big change with the latest redesign.

[@1PandaNation]

Toyota Interior is usually dated, but its really more familiar to use and not too high tech for people that couldn't understand the complexity of many things. However, not to offend anyone by that. But as a slow person like me, I would prefer to use things that are familiar than too much change. But as a young adult of this society, I still can understand by learning. My folks would have a harder time because of unfamiliarity with the changes.

[@rightlanehog3151]

You can still find low-mileage, V6 RAV4s out there at very reasonable prices.

[@neilaversano3786]

Please call my dad today and call him

[@CREATIVEreviews]

No

[@BellaB2B]

i got same v6 is really fast but i guess u don't have jbl system in car . u record in such amazing place

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Thanks!

[@brianliu672]

@@CREATIVEreviews is that route 7 near Wolftrap in Virginia???

[@CREATIVEreviews]

I'm not an engine guy like you Sofyan. I'm all about the "feeling" of the cars. I understand their "nature" not what they are made of. Haha You look at a car and see components and parts, I look at a car and I see a living, breathing creature... Jk I just had no idea what kind of engine it had

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

C'mon matt! This is the same 3.5L V6 that Toyota puts in every one of their cars! they vary in power from 268-269! and the Rav4 is one of the last with a 5AT while all the others use 6AT. These things are ballsy with the V6 but absolutely slow with the 4cyl and 4AT. Anyways, toyota needs to hurry up and redesign this since the new Escape and CR-V are out now

[@zakyum]

so your not updating or using your MATT BERGER channel now?

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Thanks. It's not the easiest to record with but I can then edit my videos right on the spot when I do.

[@davys0n]

Were u driving wit ur windows down? Just trying to have an idea of wot d road noise is like.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Looks like the windows were up in the video

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Yeah the interior is terrible, much like a lot of Toyota's current models :/ Good thing they're updating these all very soon. Bit of course good mpg and reliability.

[@tonymontana1995]

11:07 Sonido hermoso 👏👏👏

[@DANDOLLAR425]

1 does the RAV4 drive in AWD mode always without engaging the lock button 2 does it have any sensor

[@CREATIVEreviews]

idk

JBL Option available????

[@MemphisMojo15s]

This car is nice. I've had 2. 2007 and now 2010. Both V6. Phenomenal power, acceptable MPG and with the ability to disable the TRAC control, these dudes go great in the snow. Chack out my channel for the RAV4 in snow. My wife owns a 2013 RAV4. We have limited choice on 2 or 4wd where we live. She feels safer now. She had a 2010 Camry but traded it for the RAV4 during winter storm PAX in February this year. Excellent little Cute Ute's. Dude, your in VA, not Ohio, so get out of the left lane. -__-

[@MemphisMojo15s]

+Phu Doan maybe to you

[@antoniocognato5023]

these were great! i like the current ones, but the 4cyl has no power :O(... and some are still made in japan! was yours?

[@chepachii]

Nice review,but saying "not enough power"..really?It's class leading power in a small run of the mill suv..Cannot work out that comment.You want to Be thrown back neck snapping horses buy a mustang or he'll cat.Saying that in a Rav 4 review is just plain ridiculous.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

James Calley well if that was “class-leading” power in 2012, 2012 needed to step their game up. And they did.

[@fdfsdfsdfdsfsdfdsfsd]

yea seriously jakeman

hahhaa i could hear call me maybe at 10:48

A car review by someone who knows very little about cars.

[@20alphabet]

Sad when a young man's knowledge of cars is less than a girl in the 1950s.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Who cares kid

[@shawnbernardi793]

@@CREATIVEreviews Great review.You covered all of the bases.

[@davidwayne9982]

MUCH BETTER than all that fancy computer overloaded new crap.... and will last MUCH longer!! JUST change the high pressure oil line for a metal one IMMEDIATELY and it will run for many years with basic maintenance.. and go wherever you need to.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Cars made in this era were known to be the lowest quality in years to make up for the recession the US just got out of. But I get what you’re talking about. These cars still had a lot of tech in them. I think you’re thinking about the early 2000s late 1990s

[@davidwayne9982]

@@CREATIVEreviews 2012 is the BEST year they ever made--- with the V-6 and the only issue they ever have much of is the high pressure oil line- which can be changed for a metal one in 20 min. or less.. anything else is incidental. Tech is LOW-- THANK GOD-- I hate all that computer BS...and INFO crap.. if I wanted a tv ans crap to watch I'd stay HOME. Drivers NEED to drive and keep their minds OFF damn screens and all that crap.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

😬 let me know how much you don’t know cars from that era

[@davidwayne9982]

@@CREATIVEreviews I obviously know them better than YOU-- I WAS in that era ding dong. Don't go by what you read or see onthe "news"-- NEWs- yeah right- if I want fiction- I 'll watch Star Trek. the new ones now are JUNK basically...cheaply made but cost a flippin fortune for nothing. Anyone dependant on all that tech to help them drive shouldn't be on the road.

[@topo520]

@@davidwayne9982really? What made is different from the 2010 and 2011? I am about to pull the trigger on a 2012 with 95k miles for $16,999. Is that a fair price? It is the limited edition with touch screen navigation, leather, sunroof and 4WD. Please advise.

[@reggiep2879]

that is the worst walk around ever

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Glad I could waste your time 👏
