Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 23 litres, from its 7.8 L/100 km rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.09. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

The RAV4 in everyday use

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Good uses for the RAV4

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Try before you buy

If the RAV4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. 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.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
