 i have always liked the style of the 
rav 4.  even more so when the 2001's 
came out. i too agree that they need a 
little more power and a little less 
outside noise inside.
the only  problem i have had was kind 
of unusual in so far as my headlights  
would go out for no apparent reason and 
then come back on.  they  fixed a 
switch the first time but it continued 
to happen and they never could find out 
why or duplicate the incident.  
eventually it stopped totally for 
whatever reason and has not happened 
since.  explanation????  beats me!!
overall i like my rav and to me you 
can't beat the exterior styling,very 
sporty.
