Before you sign for the RAV4

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 409 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

The figures, translated

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid drives through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The combined figure, 5.9 L/100 km, means roughly 18 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $9.15, and a 300 km weekend about $27.45. The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the RAV4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the RAV4 tells you more than any review.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.15 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
