Toyota RAV4 reviews
Total 24 Toyota RAV4 owner reviews
Pros: Very smooth working CVT gearbox or variable-speed friction drive unit, usual automatic gearbox is infinitely worse. CVT gives petrol economy and at 40000 km distance consumption decreased to 8 l/100 km at 120 km/h. The torque amplifier gives great acceleration even with 2 litre engine and sports mode. Although I drove with original but very loud M S tyres in winter and controllability are very good snow porridge with no problems. Very quickly warms up, can go immediately after starting. If you put on soft winter tyres, e.g. Viking contact 5 or 6, driving comfort would be very good. Good visibility, good turnability.
Cons: Like SUV car suffers of a rear axle hardness, I returned it in terms of guarantee to service on rear suspension penetration, replaced European bushes to others and problem ended. Gradually car remains softer suspension. The rest as Toyota - without problems.
