    Good Points: Handling, performance, economy, build quality


    Bad Points: Passenger comfort, reversing sensors, bluetooth


    General comments: I really like the Toyota Rav4 2.0 XTR, it drives really well and is very economical. You can tell it's a diesel when you start it up but it's very civilised after that. It also tends to give my wife static shocks but there are some bad points. The reversing sensors are a sick joke as there is a switch in the boot which turns them off so if you don't know this and your wife has borrowed it to go shopping you might, for example, reverse into your next door neighbours car.
    Driving is great but being a passenger isn't. You tend to get thrown around as the ride is firm and 3 children in the back are cramped and complain of being sick.

    Handling is sprightly given the higher centre of gravity, and the steering gives good feedback.
    The engine is very smooth and delivers torque in bucketloads all the way up the rev range. Best diesel engine I've dri ...

    I do 30,000 miles a year. Had a Volvo S40 before this and thought that was the most comfortable car I've had - however with the Rav 4 I'm even less tired. Compared with the Volvo this is quieter. Engine cruises along nicely. You're sitting higher so don't get as much rain/muck/dirt thrown at the window from other vehicles. Plus I use it in the odd field with 4x4 so very practical and car like. I've owned Audi's, BMW's, Volvo's and a whole load of Fords/Vauxhalls - this is the best by far. The de ...

    Dealer service poor, Toyota GB plc service non-existent! Road noise, poor build quality, poor paint quality particularly on plastic panels.
