Toyota RAV4 2006 reviews
Pros: In winter, if you drive smart and consider where you could realistically go, you could go anywhere. Relatively good fuel consumption. Very good convertibility, both for passengers and cargo. Very robust suspension. Engine, clutch and transmission are robust.
Cons: Low sound insulation, the suspension is quite hard as cost for its high durability, the body metal is too thin, the steering wheel was "empty" - but you get used to it with time. On crosswind is not very stable on the road because it is too short. Noisy diesel engine. Too thin sheet metal for exhaust and fuel filler pipe. Rattling tailgate with spare wheel. Engine slightly underpowered especially on the expressway or on a packed road when the car is full and has to overtake. Without xenon, optics too weak, even with more powerful bulbs. Reversing visibility poor, would be good if parking sensors.
