Toyota Rav4 3-Door

[MikeT66]

I hope this is the right place to put this one...

I found myself contemplating a Toyota Rav4 2.0 3-door 2003-2006 model. Not really for off-road, but I do like the chunky looks, reliability (from reviews it seems pretty solid) and as there's only really Mrs.T66 and I that will use it the small rear seats won't be an issue. Any owners who can advise on what to look for/running costs, etc?

TYIA!

3 door model looks like a shoe. You can't see it from the inside. :-)

I sort of see what you mean - but I quite like how it looks. Maybe I have a strange and secret penchant for orthopaedic shoes. Your comments mirror a few I've seen - it reads basically as a completely competent car in everything it does, but few thrills. Quite a change then, probably, from my current car - a Ford Puma. It's a little more thirsty than the Puma, and higher VED, too, but lack of parts for the Puma has made me think it may be soon time to change... though I'm in no hurry.

However, knowing my luck, I'll move the Puma on just before the prices start to shift upwards!

Thanks for the advice, though - I'll certainly bear it in mind when I make a choice.
