Didn't buy from a dealer

No

£15,000

September 2007

Would'nt really say it was a deal as the price at the time for the Rav was right. Dealer did throw in 20k service tho...

Needed bigger car. Had an Avensis 1.8 xt3 but with the expansion of our family we needed the extra boot space and also the possibility of placing 3 Child seats in the back.
What was the dealer like?
Very patient and understanding.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Comfy, I have had a few trips up to Glasgow and could go non stop... however the we'ens need to get out every now and then as nature calls
What's it like to park?
Piece of Cake... also got reversing sensors so no problems there...

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing major... Rattle from the exterior mirrors which MR T knows about and is sorted under warranty.... Other than that nothing has gone wrong and I've had the Rav a year now...
What's most practical about your car?
Space and the fact that you can fit 3 kid seats in the back and if really needed a 4th can be placed in the front as the passenger airbag can be disarmed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the stereo. Not had a car yet where the faster you go the sound automatically goes up...
