Toyota RAV4 (2006 - 2012) 2.2 D-4D XT-R (2010) 5d Owner Review

Had this vehicle for over 2 years and by far the best car I have ever owned.

It has now done 108,000 miles and since having it I have only ever had to replace the tyres and brake pads. I did have a small leak from the diesel pipe a couple of weeks ago, but was fixed easily for under £150.

This car does everything I want it to do. I live in the countryside so the AWD is excellent in winter months. It has never let me down.

I average 42mpg in mine. I don't drive like an idiot but keep up with the pace of traffic on A roads.

There are only 3 things I would change about the car:
1. There is no warning light when the windscreen fluid washer is low, you find tjis out when you have ran out.
2. The boot is small for the car size of the car.
3. There is no spare wheel on my version.

I service the car regularly, and this is cheap enough. I can do most of the servicing myself, so the most I've paid is £89.

A gem of a car which I intend to drive until it can go no more.
