2007 Toyota RAV4

What buyers say

Reputation: what owners and the press report

• Sought after: 3.5L V6 All years

  Six members across two BobIsTheOilGuy threads favor the V6, for its speed and, two of them say, its reliability. One member there prefers the four, and two others are not fans of the V6.^1,2

• Avoid: 2.4L four 2006–2008 Less sought after

  A BobIsTheOilGuy member who owns two V6s calls the 2.4L four an oil guzzler, and Toyota's program ZE7 covered excessive oil use in the 2006–2008 four.^2,3
