Pros: What do you like about 2007 Toyota RAV4?
Gas mileage.
Quality of building material and assembly.
Maneuverability is good.
Convenience of placement of refill units in engine compartment.
Great ground clearance.
Front wheel drive is wonderful to drive in all different road conditions.

It's nice to just do basic maintenance and turn the key and go nothing broken, inferior, needing to be fixed every 3 miles. Reliability is a great breath of fresh air. Feels like you are driving quality.

LOVE the mini trunk, favorite part of extras!

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Toyota RAV4?
4 wheel drive. Who in their right mind wants 4wd to "automatically" pop out at 27 miles per hour,-says 30mph in handbook. That is just dumb. 4hi/4l would be nice, or auto shut off at 35mph. I live in mountains. I use 4low a lot. Heavier duty suspension to support 4wd more, all models, common sense here.

Very car like, hard to get used to. A little soft and loose in turns unless fully loaded up in back.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Review:
I have to say this is a sturdy little car. Went from driving serious 4wd, to this - took getting used to.

Has not disappointed me in its quality. Best car for its grouping.

Mileage, front wheel drive, and that darned mini trunk are my favorite things.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Toyota RAV4?
I like the Rav4's performance overall, its power and drive-ability. I chose the Rav4 due to Toyota's reputation for dependability.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Toyota RAV4?
The Rav4 has three distinct problems which Toyota fails to recognize or resolve.

The oil hose broke on my Rav4 at 23,000 miles, emptying the engine of oil.

The power steering unit is knocking when turned and will have to be replaced.

The Rav4 has a reputation of suddenly accelerating without explanation.

I have experienced the first two problems already on a relatively new automobile. After having these issues, I searched on line and discovered that it is a common problem with Rav4 owners. Toyota fails to notify owners that if they do not replace the power steering unit before 36,000 miles it will not be covered by warranty. Toyota has been my favorite vehicle, but I would think twice after these expensive and potentially dangerous experiences before I would purchase another, or recommend them to anyone else.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Toyota RAV4?
A very good all-around small suv for the money.With 3.5 six,it has plenty of power-even pull my fourwheeler behind it on a golf cart trailer and don't even no it's there! Gas mileage is great! 20mpg in town and have gotten a best of 27 out on the road with overdrive and cruise control being used.We don't even have the sport level, and love it the way it is! stereo is very good-one of the best for sound we have had in many years.Utility is a shinning point also-can carry alot of baggage and love the below the deck storage door! Back seat is great with it's mobility forward and aft! love our Rav4!!! The Prices-Spokane,WA.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Toyota RAV4?
What's to improve?!!

2007 Toyota RAV4 Review:
Still the best small size SUV for the money and dependability!!!!

A nice compact truck truck.There are things that can be improved such as the rear door opening and the tire on the outside of door.The base radio sounds terrible.Also the truck jerks when accelerating in the base model without the V6.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Review:
I've had my car for 3 weeks and I really like it. I'm getting 24 mpg -not bad. The 3rd row is small, but perfect for my 5 year old boys. There's little storage in the back when the 3rd row is being used0.

Better back-up visibility.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Review:
I compared the Subaru Forester, Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4 side by side and drove each the same day. Forester drove great - the low cg helps the handling - but the rear seat leg room is pretty bad. The CRV didn't seem as well crafted as the RAV4, and wasn't as much fun to drive. Ended up buying the Toyota and so far am very pleased with it.

Love the V6 - good power and still gets decent mpg.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Toyota RAV4?
Move the tire off of the rear to improve visibility.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Review:
Just bought a new 2007 Limited V6 4x4 and it is a great car. The inside feels roomy and cozy, it fits two car seats comfortably, has versatility with seats folding down in various combinations, packs a punch with that V6, rides smooth, and handles very well. Only downside are that the seats leave me feeling slightly sore and the visibility out the rear and due to the large B-Pillar aren't great. Overall, I have no qualms about purchasing this car and would recommend it to anyone looking for an SUV (not just a mini SUV.) It can be configured for just about anyone.
