Toyota RAV4 2.0 GX 3d (1995/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Can't get over how well residual is standing up. Needed to retro fit a CD player though.
Costs
Seems to like drinking petrol because of permanent 4WD. Petrol tank is too small as well only 300 miles on 1 tank.

On the road
Driving
Pretty good poke from the 2 litre engine, though cannot push it too much through corners, because of body roll (short wheel base means it feels like it would tip over).
Performance
Impressive performance at a bargain price.
-
Living with it
Reliability
""touch wood"", but nothing has ever gone wrong in 3.5 years of ownership. Only needed to replace tyres etc.
Image
Best looking budget 4x4.
Comfort
Getting passengers in and out the back is a pain (front seatbelts seem designed to trip them up.) Back seat is no more than a bench too, but front is fine. No other space to mention that it has no boot at all, and nowhere to hide anything while parked.

Security and Service
Security
Loud alarm. Never had any problems.

Never used Toyota for servicing (overpriced)
