 I bought my rav 4 base model in 2012.  It's an upgraded 4wd base model with a sun roof.  It has great acceleration but am very disappointed with the gas mileage for this vehicle.  It seems to be on the low end of 22mpg and with a small gas tank seem to be at the gas station twice a week for a fill up.  What is even more depressing is the floor carpet in the interior.  On the drivers side the carpet is already torn by the left foot rest.  I never expected that for an owner who takes the best care of a vehicle.  It will cost lots of money to repair it.
