Faults:

Trouble free. I've owned the vehicle for only one year, but completed 18,000km without bother.

General Comments:

Toyota reliability stands firm with this car, after 10,000 km the oil looks like the day it went in and doesn't use a drop.

Great driving position makes it great around town, but very comfortable on long trip (could do with cruise control though).

Power is very adequate. Mine's an auto and will happily overtake up a hill providing you floor it and don't look at how many revs the thing is pulling!!

I took mine to the north west of WA in January (50 degree plus heat) with 4 adults, a large trailer with sides (full) and the airconditioner going... it sat on 130km/h all day and returned very reasonable economy.

It's been on the beach, through creeks and on some pretty rough tracks without problem. That said, I am always mindful of its limitations!

I would thoroughly recommend a RAV to anyone looking for a versatile, practical and economical SUV.
