Totally Beyond Expectations

My wife purchased this car new. 10 years later she thought it was time to replace it. I scooped it up solely because it was all wheel drive and I missed my old 4 wheel drive Jeep Cherokee. What a stroke of genius! This little SUV (the 2005 model) has pep and is so easy to handle in any situation. IN ADDITION, I use it to carry my Kayak on the built-in roof rack using the 2 front tow hooks and 2 rear tow hooks to strap in down. And the height is perfect for lifting my Kayak onto the roof by myself. Sa-Weet! I couldn't be happier unless I could make it last forever.

LOVE MY 2005 RAV4 and will purchase another when the time comes for me to replace the one I have

I was able to remove the back seats and haul a freezer in the back of my car from Lynnwood to Bellevue, WA and close the back rear door. It is great for hauling.

Best Vehicle I've Ever Owned

I bought my RAV4 new in 2005, a five speed stick! It's hands down the best car I've ever owned, and I can't say a single bad thing about it. In 12 years, with the exception of a water pump, absolutely nothing has gone wrong. I'm pretty sure it's got at least another 12 good years to go!

My RAV4

I have had my RAV 4 for 12 years and still enjoy it. Like the way I can get stuff in and out of the back without having to lift anything over a ledge. Mileage is still quite good and do keep up with regular maintenance at A-1 only!

Tires

Since purchasing my vehicle i have had 4 sets of tires including 2 sets from Peruzzi Toyota where I purchased the vehicle and 2 from Wass. Although the tires from Wass have been above average tires, they continue to wear choppy, and the noise level caused by this un-even wear has been a source of frustration and concern, not to mention costly. No one has come up with a reason for the tires wearing out so quickly and UN-evenly. I have had new bearings, rotations, alignments and a complete check of the frame and suspension and still the tires wear unevenly.

Love my RAV4!

I bought this on a whim back in 2005, and it has been a great vehicle! The size is great, and the car fits my personality! When I retire this one, I'll get another one!

I love, love, love my Rav4.

I've had my Rav for 10 years and I have spent less than $2000.00 for repairs. I only have to change tires and brakes occasionally.

The Miller's 2005 RAV4

A very reliable easy to drive vehicle. It has held up better with over 150000 miles on the odometer than any other vehicle we have owned.

Long lasting reliable car requires minimum service except for maintenance items.

My vehicle is 11 years old and has 180,000 hard miles. With proper attention to maintenance I have experienced long life from the vehicle. Doesn't even have any rust and is not garage kept. It has never broken down and left me stranded once. Purchased new and will not part with it even when I buy another car. Sorry America but Toyota is my choice for a new vehicle.

Love my RAV!

I bought my 2005 Rav4 used and it has never given me many problems! It currently has 160K miles on it and (besides the tires) the only thing I have had to replace has been a door panel. I would recommend this car to anyone!
