CarGurus' 2008 Toyota RAV4 Review

Source: CarGurus

The GoodA new, contemporary-looking exterior along with the option of more power under the hood has pushed the 2008 RAV4 to the front of the compact SUV pack, leading the way in fuel economy, comfort, interior room, and Toyota’s undisputed reliability.The BadWith the cargo door remaining its perennial black mark, the 2008 RAV4 receives a lukewarm response to its third-row seating option and hearty criticism of the lack of power in the standard four cylinder that all go toward denting the image...

Other Choices:

Like all of these compact utility vehicles, the 2008 Toyota RAV4 offers a choice of four-cylinder or V-6 powertrains (except the Honda), with front- or all-wheel drive. Where they differ is that they each have different ways of prioritizing between carlike on-road handling and off-road ability. For instance, the Ford Escape is styled like a more traditional SUV, but its carlike underpinnings help it handle and perform quite well, despite its aging design. The Honda CR-V is an excellent, very space-efficient design with plenty of room for five, though it’s not much fun to drive, nor does it have any significant off-road ability. The Hyundai Tucson bears an older design that doesn’t perform as well as its most updated peers; it also feels smaller inside. The new Vue that’s been introduced is much improved, especially inside, with a fresh design. And the Mitsubishi Outlander, like the RAV4, has a very small third-row seat, for those who want two extra positions for small children on occasion; although it doesn’t match the RAV4’s V-6 engine for power, the Outlander V-6 feels very sporty behind the wheel, with good handling, though its ride is firm and somewhat noisy.
