Toyota RAV4 2008 2.4 Black

Review of the car owner Toyota RAV4 2008 Hello everybody!!! So I decided to write my first review about my first car Toyota RAV4. Before that I drove my father's Honda Odyssey, but that's another story ... Why did I choose this car? We needed a roomy, reliable and passable car, which would, plus everything, combine beauty and comfort. After a month of searching, we found all these qualities in Toyota RAV4 2.4 Prestige. The car was taken in excellent condition from the hands, 2008, in the maximum configuration, graphite color (in TCP it is written in dark gray). Now, first things first. I was advised to take 2.4 (170hp), firstly, because the "kopeck piece", if you put 5 people in the car, does not go at all, and secondly, 2.4 eats less, although I already began to doubt this :( Consumption for a SUV is quite acceptable: in the summer in mixed mode 10.4 l / 100 km; and in winter in the same mode 13.5 l / 100 km, according to the computer. This despite the fact that I am not a fan of driving and I drive mostly calmly. up to 100 km, according to the official d Toyota RAV4 2008 2.4 Black ata - 10.6 seconds, I did not check it myself (I forget everything). The machine works perfectly, the car responds to the gas pedal instantly, almost does not think. The tank is only 60 liters, I fill in AI 92, it is generally supposed to fill in AI 95, but in the Toyota center they recommended 92, since we have 95 bad in Irkutsk. During use, I changed only consumables, so I can’t write anything about the prices of spare parts. the car starts up normally, though this is if you do not leave it for a long time on the street or overnight in the parking lot without warming up. The drive is front-wheel drive, there is a 4WD button, but I hardly use it, even in winter, since the tires are new and there is no need for that. By the way, about rubber: dimensions 225/65 / R17, so it is very expensive: (But the car is 17 "Skating rinks" looks great! The cross-country ability for the SUV is good due to the competent work of 4WD and high ground clearance. The handling is, in general, normal, but at a speed of 100-120 km / h when entering a turn, it does not behave confidently, but what we wanted was not a sedan, and a complete one. the drive turns off at 40 km / h. There is also an anti-lock braking system (ABS), a brake force distribution system (EBD), an emergency braking system (BAS), traction control (TRC), a stability control system (VSC (VSC-EPS-4WD)), an uphill assistance system (HAC) Generally, the car is packed with electronics for a more pleasant and safe driving. To be honest, the suspension is stiff, and if the car stays in the cold at -30, then you generally go like in a train :( :( Although when my friend drove the RAV4 after his Opel Astra, it turned out that the suspension of my car is much softer! I would like to write about the color: IN MY LOOK, metallic gray for this car is the most successful (except for white, which is very difficult to find). Let me explain why. Black color in the sun gives out all the scratches and scuffs, and you can see more dust, the color "currency" is generally strange, gray is the cheapest, and red is female (IMHO). In the maximum configuration, wheel arch extensions, roof rails, a spoiler, visors on the windows and a cute little antenna on the roof delight. There are also headlight washers, heated wipers. Another former owner installed overlays on the front and rear bumpers, an original heel, crankcase protection, a tow bar, left just set the thresholds and the car will be okay :) Although the standard light pleases (you can even adjust the angle of inclination depending on the curb weight of the car), it upsets the fact that the Rafa, even in the maximum configuration, does not put xenon. There are many drawbacks inside the car! To begin with, the RAF has poor sound insulation, and periodic creaks on the front panel are also annoying, but you can still put up with this. But when you wash the car, the back door starts to creak, so you have to grease after each wash her WDshkoy. But this is not the only complaint to the back door. It is very heavy due to the spare wheel, and if you do not use the seat belts, you will have to fasten them behind your back, as the safety system emits an unpleasant beeping sound. Well, now what pleases: a roomy interior, high-quality leather upholstery for seats and doors, 9 airbags, an intelligent car access system and start the engine by pressing the Smart Entry button https://cars45.com.gh/p8uta3HfaSKFJfJHcPRX1bpP
