Toyota RAV4 (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 83.15%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 84th

This is a predictable result for Toyota’s once groundbreaking off-roader. Low scores for performance and handling are hardly unexpected for a top-heavy 4x4, while a finishing position of 70th in the
comfort category suggests that the RAV4 can be a pain on longer hauls.

On the plus side, reliability is still very good while build quality is solid. Overall, a fair result.

Ratings

Position in the Top 100 cars
Reliability: 31st
Build Quality: 55th
Running Costs: 70th
Performance: 82nd
Braking: 77th
Ride Quality: 61st
Handling: 89th
Practicality: 65th
Comfort: 70th
Ease of Driving: 69th

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 13th)

Last year, Toyota was in seventh, but a poor debut for the Auris sees it plummet. While 13th is still above average, bosses will want a positive reaction to the new Avensis, iQ and Urban Cruiser in 2010.
