 Bought this car with 110,000 miles it now has 171,000 and ive maybe put 300 bucks into it aside from tires. I drive it hard - in LA traffic 70 miles a day. It's been rock solid. Underpowered for sure but the only time that's ever annoying is going up a mountain... who cares. My last car was a 2009 Mazda3 and while it was faster and 'cooler' i gotta say that the rav has a more comfortable ride - especially on city roads... it gets the same gas mileage.. it has better visibility... better AC... its easier to park... maintenance and tires are way cheaper... and you can pop a curb if you need to. Maybe the best city car ever created. Oh yea and it's a 4 cylinder toyota it will run forever. I plan on spending money on some minor repairs soon but because i want to not because i need to... it would just keep running.  I'm planning on 300,000 miles easy. BUY ONE.
