General CommentsWho would have guessed when I bought this in 2002 that 354,000 miles later I'd still be driving it with basically NOTHING going wrong with it. I replaced tires and changed oil... that's it! I'd buy another new Rav 4 but they don't make them in a manual transmission anymore and I need a manual.

Pros Space, Gas mileage for SUV, handling, 4wheel drive
Cons Road noise, Small tank
General CommentsLoved this car when it was our only SUV. Got us everywhere we wanted to. Now that we have a larger, more capable SUV, and is only being used as a commuter, we are wanting something with better gas mileage. Love the storage, fits a large dog kennel, two car seats and luggage. Reliability has been excellent, no problems what so ever (at 90k miles). Don't like the road noise. Bought some Big-O tires that make it really horrible. Gas mileage has been around 22-26mpg. The gas tank only has about a 300 mile range. Would highly recommend this car for someone wanting the benefits of an SUV without having to pay the gas prices for one.

Pros Very nimble car which has great performance and is easy to park. For its size it very spacisus too. Very functional and reliable (as are all Toyotas)
Cons Small tank and thus constant refueling.
General CommentsVery good car, but do not expect anything luxurious. It is a functional car, and is not luxurious in any sense, but it is good for everyday use (preferably short distances)
