  • "The 2008 Toyota RAV4 ranks 2 out of 27 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 64 published reviews and test drives of the Toyota RAV4, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The RAV4's high ranking is based on its delivery of one of the best combinations of power, performance and interior comfort in its class. Compared to the class-leading Honda CR-V, it is generally considered to have a more attractive exterior appearance. Its few shortcomings, however, include an awkward cargo door and a higher-than-average base price."—U.S. News and World ReportU.S. News: 2008 Toyota RAV4 Reviews, Photos, Options and Pricing (July 8, 2008)

  • "The Toyota RAV4 is enjoyable to drive and packaged well. Three rows of seating are available, as is a V6 engine that delivers lots of power."—JB car pagesJB car pages: 2008 Toyota RAV4 Review

  • "If we were to buy a RAV4, it would have to come with the optional V6. Despite having 100-plus more horses than the CR-V and four-cylinder RAV4, V6-equipped RAVs manage to get almost the same fuel economy. The four-cylinder is a reasonable choice for most buyers, as it provides adequate power for day-to-day driving, but when equipped with this engine, the RAV doesn't fare as well against its competitors that offer similar power, gas mileage and space."—Edmunds.comEdmunds.com: 2008 Toyota RAV4 Review and Specs
