2004 Toyota RAV4 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

The main problem with this car is random parts break down suddenly. It is more than 10 years old, though, so it is understandable that it is not as reliable as it used to be, but it makes it difficult to use. The seats are comfortable and spaced well enough apart from each other, and when there are no issues with parts, the car is reliable and can be driven for miles on end. It has lasted a very long time with only minor repairs, like windshield replacements and a few battery replacements, so it is overall a good car.

It's first two convertible car seats comfortably and can be used as a family car for 4 people max.

I like how tall it is and the visibility that gives me. However, it is an old car; the battery often dies if it not used regularly, the AC doesn't work, and a previous owner also installed a security system that used to act up in the winter that made the car relentlessly beep until you repeatedly pressed a button on the fob.

It is gas efficient and has decent features like radio inside. The interior looks good and the seats are comfortable. However, it is an old car, the performance is not as good, the power is not strong enough. Besides, when driving fast, it tends to have loud noise and the car would be shaking.

Overall, it has been a good car. We got it when I was 16 as a hand-me-down from my grandparents. I am currently 24 and it's still kicking! I have had a transmission issue in the past, but that has been the biggest issue. I also had to get the emissions system serviced recently, but this car is over 10 years old. It is a very reliable car. I wish the backseat was larger, though. It's very cramped if you put more than one person back there. Overall, this has been a good car and I will drive it into the ground.

I had a recall on my vehicle a few years ago about a problem with debris in the air bag which meant if it when off could throw shrapnel with the potential to kill. I also have had a lot of issues with my stick shift, with the hydraulics and the gear itself.

My toyotas under carriage is totally rotted. It is a 2004 rav4 sport. I only have 59,000 miles on it. It is mechanically sound.

The vehicle is very light, so it can be frustrating to drive under high wind conditions. It handles reasonably well, but is clearly not designed for a petite driver (i.e. 5'4" and under). The electronics can be finicky, too, especially the auxiliary port and tire pressure sensor.
