| 2005 Toyota RAV |
The original Toyota RAV4 was offered as a two-door convertible and a four-door hardtop. For 2005, Toyota's Star Safety System includes Vehicle Stability Control, traction control, and antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist.Toyota's smallest SUV rides a 98-inch wheelbase, measures approximately 68.3 inches wide and stands nearly 66 inches tall. The tires measure 16 inches in diameter.
The Toyota RAV4 seats five people in an interior designed with a 50/50-split folding rear seat. Cargo volume measures 29.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 68.3 cubic feet with the backseat folded down. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, a six-speaker cassette/CD sound system, power windows and locks, heated power mirrors and a spare-tire cover. Toyota's 2.4-liter four-cylinder develops 161 hp and 165 pounds-feet of torque and teams with a four-speed-automatic or five-speed-manual transmission. The Toyota RAV4 is available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
Antilock brakes are standard. Side curtain-type airbags and seat-mounted side-impact airbags are optional.
The Toyota RAV4 is not a luxury car, but it is a reasonably priced, nice-appearing, reliable car that is enjoyable to drive and is very convenient for my dogs. Also, I do need to take the car in soon as my check engine warning light illuminated as well as the VSC Trak/Trak off lights. I called the Toyota dealership and the service manager said it isn't the catalytic converter but the computer for it.
