Toyota RAV4 2012 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.

Pros: Bought a new car, without any problems. Like fact that it is high, and I can see right path. On highway generally spends around 6 lietres per 100 km. Built-in navigator - useful. Had universal MS tyres - Yokahoma, which also swept all 96 000 km without any problems. Super tires! And super car! Good that panel and its entrails is not so electronically, it is understandable middle-aged people, are not complicated.
Cons: Sometimes windscreen wipers does not start automatically, as expected. The Navigator is a built-in, but not for renewed maps.

Pros: Got as replacement car in service and drove ~ 500 km. Comfortable tractor: cosy salon, and soft to go through gravel and a ribbed asphalt. For cozy sleepy driving also on smooth asphalt.
Cons: Very bad hold on road. Soft, jelly-like driving as on plasticine wheels, even on straight road feels like swimming, a dynamic driving is really dangerous!

Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Normal almost offroader, better than BMW 6 on bad roads, pulls off slopes very well, 4x4 for adequate price.
Cons: Continually tosses with dirt back view camera. Heated Mirrors linked to rear window. Could change gearbox switch to more modern. There is no automatic tyre pressure control, navigation.
