hellsbell Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Rav 4 every time, I had 2 mk1 and I now have a 5 door mk2, never had any problems with any and from a safety I had a accident in one of the mk1 and only damage was a broken indicator bulb and a small crack in the bumper.. Hold their money really well too.. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellsbell Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Also with Toyota, they don't like their good name tarnishing, I was speaking to a garage who had a 04 reg with a major component failure, the car had full service history and Toyota replaced the part on goodwill, I've heard this before too with Toyota.

Rupert_Baehr Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Toyota's have a good reputation for reliability, but then again, the reputation of Hyundai has improved considerably over the past some years. Hyundai are now offering a lifetime warranty, so they certainly have faith in their products. I test drove a RAV-4 last year (the one with the 3.5 litre petrol engine) and although it drove well, the throttle was very sensitive and I found that it tended to pitch up and down (rock forwards and backwards) - perhaps due to the comparatively short wheelbase. My wife (and it was going to be her car anyway) decided she liked the Volvo XC-60 better, so we ended up with one of those. I'm very impressed with it. (As was Jeremy Clarkson - one of the few SUVs he seemed to like: 'It performs like a car - but you can get a car for considerably less' ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
