why do ppl dis rav4s so much
ive asked many poeple bout rav4s and the responses i get back are dont buy one there shit. why?
im a girl and i went for a test drive in one today i though it drove great i, im currently looking at buying a small 4x4 i didnt have a rav4 in mind cause i thought they look too girly but they are actaully pretty okay.

generaly speaking, they are no good offroad. they have no transfer case, and i dont think the new ones come with a center diff lock. and you have bugger all in the way of aftermarket accesories for them.
they are great if all you want to do is rally drive dirt roads tho!!! i have had a world of fun in one on gravel roads and padocks!

But yeah I agree with the above comments they make a good car for a bit of gravel road/light beach work but anything more they will struggle.

the models upto and including the 1999 represent great value for a small package.
i have a 99 SWB and a 96 SWB winter ( leather interiour power everything) and just got a a 95 LWB because the missus wants 2 more doors.
The body on them is built very solidly, they have a good engine and gearbox. I could not rate them highly enough!
as a very light duty AWD to start out with it woudl be fine, as they have bugger all suspension travel.

The missus has a 2005 cv sport 2 door. The car is bloody fantastic, nice to drive and for a 2.4 litre 4 cylinder has plenty of poke. The removable seats in the rear are awesome for fitting extra equipment in for weekend camping trips, it even fits the 80 litre engel in the back with room for more. The only thing wwe don't do with it is take it off road, that's what the surf is for. All in all a great little vehicle that both the wife and myself look forward to driving.

But it's not on a patrol chassis. It's actually, sorta, still a monocoque.
Probably the most impressive piece of 4WD fabrication I've ever seen.

and yeah vitaras are good.-ish.
my mates mrs has an early rav4. we've had it on the beach etc.
but they just dont last if you use them offroad. hers has all sorts of noises etc after only a few offroad excursions.
or treat yourself, buy a FJ40!
