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.

A nice car for the work commute, or a casual Drive.

This car is a low cost High reliability vehicle. It is not the best in appearance or acceleration, but it will get you where you need to go. The cost of parts to repair the vehicle can be pricey, however the reliability is immaculate, and I have never had a single breakdown or any issue that has taken me off the road and I've already put 50,000 miles on the car. This car is a nice SUV and can do light off-roading and carrying small trailers.

2nd owner of this car which was fantastic until the oil disappeared and the motor had to be replaced

Quite disturbed that the low oil light never came on, no sign or an oil leak. I was ready to get an oil change when the car started malfunctioning but the lights indicated alternator or battery. Shame that I missed such a simple check because a $50 oil change would have saved me $500. Painful lesson always check your oil level after an oil change, DON'T TRUST anyone when it comes to something so simple just double check. Another time an oil change place forgot to replace the cap but that was easily detected because of the burning oil smell.

THE 2005 TOYOTARAV4 IS A GOOD CAR IT SERVED ME WELL DURING THE TIME I HAD IT DRIVING AROUND PALM BEACH COUNTY SOME MAINTENCE

THE 2005 TOYOTA RAV4 HAS BEEN A GOOD RELIABLE CAR THAT GAVE A GENERAL GOOD PERFORMANCE AS IHAD IT OVER THE YEARS BUT ONE MUST UNDERSTAND AND TAKE CARE OF IT WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE FOR LONG LIFE AND WITH THE MOST RECENT REPAIRS SHOULD LAST A LONG TIME DESPITE THE FACT THAT ITS AN OLD CAR LIKE OIL CHANGES WHEN DUE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT BUT THE CAR WAS NO LEMON AND GOT AROUND WITH IT PRETTY WELL DURING THOSE YEARS.

10 years and not so much as a burned out lightbulb!

The 2005 RAV is the best one they've ever made. Mine's a 5 speed and is a peppy little beast. I diligently keep up the routine maintenance and just had to get new tires, which brought my average cost of operation to $100/yr. (not including insurance and licensing fees). I rolled the $200 lifetime oil change package that I had on my 2002 Corolla over to the RAV when I bought it (I explained it was a deal-breaker), so it gets serviced for free every 90 days (do the math). What more could I ever ask for?

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!

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.

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.

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.
