Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota RAV4?
I don't know what everyone is talking about. I have owned two RAV4's. I bought one when they first came out and I just bought a new 2009 model and it is a DREAM to drive. The 2009 model is bigger all the way around than my older RAV4. It is a solid, dependable, sporty-looking sweet little SUV. Gets great gas mileage and has a luxurious feel to it (I purchased the Limited edition, 4-cylinder). It also has tons of cargo space with a hidden compartment in the back for extra storage. You get a lot of bang for your bucks with this car.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota RAV4?
I have to be careful when I corner, it feels a little top heavy, but all SUV's tend to feel this way. It is not intended to corner like a sports car!

looks good
ok gas mileage
size
good handling

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota RAV4?
LOUD and VERY BUMPY RIDE both front and back seats are bumpy...my kids get car sick in this car. I regret getting it.

Fix the bumpy ride! What the heck?
Insulate the cabin noise...very loud.

2009 Toyota RAV4 Review:
I would not recommend this car. Driving it is like being on a roller coaster. If the bumpy ride was fixed it would be OK, then I could tolerate the noise. But, both issues are really disappointing. I am surprised that Toyota has a car with such poor suspension.

2009 Toyota RAV4 Review:
I am very disappointed in this vehicle. I bought this over a Chevy Equinox and that was the worst mistake I ever made. Tried to return it a day later and got no where with that, I would have even traded it for a car but that was a no also... I will never recommend this ride to anyone unless you want a headache everyday from all the noise.
