 I purchased an '07 RAV4, February, 2008, used, from a Toyota dealer, replacing a '01 Ford Taurus.  Bought a 4 cyl, fwd.  Use for daily commuter and weekend chores.  Occasional trips.  Just recently, averaged 27.5 mph at a steady 75 mph on a 500 mile round-trip.  Around town, am getting 22 to 24 mph.  As a daily driver, the car is excellent.  Perfect for weekend chores.  The swing rear door does cause some problems while carrying lumber, however, I knew that when I purchased the vehicle.  Otherwise, car is perfect for intended use.  Am very pleased with performance, handling, and overall build.
