Magazine reviews don't typically do the things you suggest. That said, my original title and list of cons is no longer accurate, so I have revised them. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes you are rating the four but when a general consumer checks reviews on a RAV 4 through this epinions site and sees three stars there gonna think of the car being just average when in my opinion it is clearly not.The other three star guy probably did not drive the six either.

Consumer reports ratings are off the charts when it comes to all aspects of the RAV 4 throughout the years.And I just think that a person who types a FULL review of a specific vehicle,that person should have a FULL experience with all options and combinations the company offers on said vehicle.

Otherwise the review is not helpful unless there specifically looking for a four cylinder.The review should have been titled "FULL REVIEW ON TOYOTA RAV 4,FOUR CYLINDER ONLY." What was helpful and what did I learn from your review when Im interested in a six cylinder Rav 4 ???

And if you had to wait for the six cylinder then you should have waited for the review.So you could provide accurate info on the car.

Thank you

If it's clear that I'm rating the four, then I don't see a problem.

I hope to drive the V6 soon.

How can you rate this truck 3 stars when you never drove the V6?

The 4 cylinder is like any other 4 cylinder.But when you drive the 6 cylinder which is available now.Then come back and type the vehicle a proper review.

Just bought the six today.Cant wait to get it.Great Ride and 269 HORSES IN A RAV 4!!!! YEEHAWWW

Don't just rely on your gut. Look it up.

The 146-inch long three-door went away, and the five door gained three inches of length, to 165 inches.

So the 2-door was 16 inches shorter than the 4-door (or should this have been 6 inches?)

I like the way you wove product strategy (or lack of it) though this review. It made the review more than just about a car, although it's certainly a fine car review. This is interesting, enjoyable and educational.
