2001 Toyota RAV4 SUV 2WD 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
Great.. until 2/2010
 I have to say- other than oil changes and tire rotations- the usual stuff; I have never had any major expenses (5 years- second owner).  BUT In Feb 2010 I did have to spend 1700 on a new 'brain' and O2 sensor and battery. Now, it is in the shop again- sounding and feeling like a helicopter.  So I have to give my old girl credit for 5 years (got her 2005) she has been an angel. Now she is being a bit greedy-but it is long over due.   IF I have to buy a new car- I would get a RAV 4 again or maybe a highlander- little bit bigger and those are now HYBRID.
