Quote HistoryQuoted: Those RAV4 go like bats out of hell Only the older ones where you could get the V6 as an option. The newer ones dropped it and only have the 4 cylinder. I had one of the V6s. Easy to momentarily spin the front wheels on launch if you aren’t careful. |

Pocket rockets.
Should've bought the AWD one.

nice find
it has been my understanding that the un-official reason toyota dropped the v6 in the rav4, is because it had the fastest 0-60-100 times of any other toyota-scion model, and that didn’t bode well for sedan and coupe sales Jay |

Virtually bullet proof.
Only things I worked on were water pumps and alternators at around the 100K+ range.

Quote HistoryQuoted: is this your first FWD car? the worst torque steer i ever had was a '91 SHO Close. It was the 91 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo. The mitsu and Eagle got AWD but just FWD for the Laser. HP to weight was crazy and I burned a few Mustang GT's back then WHEN I could keep the front tires planted. The bigger turbo and intercooler were really overkill but I'm a Texan so......

My 14 rav4 has an annoying amount of torque steer too. Makes cruise control a serious pain in the ass.
