NOT SO FAST TOYOTA LOVERS
 2001 4wd Rav4 94,900 miles : I research reviews; mileage of many brands and models. Toyota people love their Toyota's. But I found they are just like any other car and worse than domestic . Parts need replaced just like any other car...surprise. Any Toyota owner I've talked to never had to do anything to their Toyota's. Until I told them how I've had to work on my wife's. Now my sister tells me she had to replace a engine about 6 years old . O and a person at work, "o yeh you have to replace parts as the go bad". Toyota people make me sick! I had to buy a special Toyota socket just to change alternator for the tensionor... NO IT'S NOT A 14MM like the online mechanic said. It's a special socket (cta2717) you can get at Sears for $18 after shipping. And it takes more than a week to receive it. What a rip off Toyota. I work on a lot of cars...I talk to a lot of people...better believe I not telling them how great they are!!! I'll buy a old Chevy next , Thank you.*Next 6 months no more repairs needed. If I can get another 6 months like this I could add to this review with more positive statements. I added a star to reliability today.Not sure if I take that star down 1 or not. Reasons: almost 106k and needs a new fuel tank and assuming new lines...but it is 16 years old.
