With the redesigned 2006 Toyota RAV4, the automaker simultaneously resolves complaints about the previous model and sets new standards for all compact crossover SUVs.
All-new for the 2006 model year, the Toyota RAV4 has a few things in common with the previous RAV4. For starters, it’s a Toyota. It has a standard four-cylinder engine. And it has a side-hinged tailgate with a spare tire mounted to it. Otherwise, the new 2006 Toyota RAV4 is a completely different vehicle sold in standard, Sport, and Limited trim levels.
4.6 Overall rating
(9 reviews)Its a good overall car for trips, sporting activities, and transporting household goods. The car is very reliable, low maintenance and decent fuel economy. Fun car to drive handles well in all seasons. Over all very practical car to own and drive.
The car handles well and gets great acceleration. It gets great gas mileage and uses regular gas. I drive a lot and it has been a pleasure to spend so much time in it. It was easy and fairly cheap to maintain.
This is a fantastic vehicle overall but I recommend that if you purchase one that you buy a 2007 or newer. The 2006 was the first of it's kind and has a LOT of bugs (mainly bad coils). Also the transmission shifts strangely and soils it's fluid quickly. I expect a shorter than average lifespan for this tranny.
handles okay for an suv, braking okay, accereration slow, build quality excellent, no repairs needed, no squeaks or rattles, good interior appearance, not bad looking on the outside, easy on gas, no maintenance required yet besides oil changes, its not a bad driving vehicle but its not a mustang
I love the fuel economy and also that the car is very roomy and easy to get around. Very powerful too. The color is nice and has a lot of added features that come only with the limited trim like dual A/C.
