2012 Toyota RAV4 Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you're looking for fuel efficiency, versatility and reliability in a small SUV that also offers the convenience of a third-row seat, the 2012 Toyota RAV4 SUV is the perfect fit.
If your needs for a third-row seat also include lots of storage space behind said seat, a larger Toyota Highlander or Chevy Traverse might be a better idea. Those looking for cutting-edge features and
In the 2012 Toyota RAV4 SUV, Toyota has managed to deliver car-like ride and handling characteristics in a vehicle with a tall ride height and ground clearance. Safety is paramount at Toyota, so the RAV4 is wrapped in high-strength steel for increased rigidity and improved ride, handling and steering. On the road, the 2012 Toyota RAV4's interior is quieter than most, although the V6 engine does sound rather harsh at full throttle, a very un-Toyota-like characteristic.

"This compact SUV has the best bang for the buck out there. The V6 AWD was worth it. I bought mine new and it hasn't failed me in almost 7 years of driving it. Everything still works like it was new. It has all the power you could ever need for passing, it's decent on gas (avg 25 mpg), it's comfortable even at highway speeds, it seats five comfortably, the back seat has limo-like legroom, and the all-wheel-drive automatically kicks in if you ever need it in the snow. No wonder these popular RAV4s are everywhere on the roads yet none are for sale - people who buy them keep them forever. Besides regular maintenance it's only needed brakes, a water pump at 75k, and a new set of tires. All the original lightbulbs still work and the headlights are still as bright as new. Toyota air conditioners have a hard time keeping up with hot weather, but the heater is fine in the winter. I would pass this vehicle off to my kids and buy a new one except the V6 is so powerful and I want to keep driving it!"
