And then, of course, there's Toyota's dependability and reliability factor ... a hugely important issue when it comes to buying a used vehicle.
The RAV4 was one of the first compact SUVs on the market and is now in its third generation, while much of the competition is in its first. This has given the RAV4 a big advantage of already having many years of refinement.
Most drivers will be satisfied with its very capable four-cylinder engine ... and its excellent gas mileage. But there is also a V6 for those seeking additional power. Actually, the V6 is even more powerful than the one in the midsize Highlander, but it gets even better fuel economy because of the RAV4's lighter weight.
It's also very easy to drive with light steering and excellent brakes. And it's well equipped as well, with power accessories, cruise control and a host of safety features (including stability control) coming standard even on the base model.
So, no surprise here, we think the RAV 4 makes an excellent choice as a used SUV purchase. And we can suggest two ways to help you save when buying one:
