1998 Toyota RAV4 SUV 4dr SUV AWD
Perfect for Tucson, AZ
 Bought this '98 Rav4 in 2001 for 
driving around town and light off-road 
excursions. It has been extremely 
reliable and performs well in Southern 
Arizona. Handles well in tight spots 
and seems to be holding up to the 
rugged road conditions in "The Old 
Pueblo." Took it off-road a few times 
and the AWD was perfect on dirt roads. 
The 4 cyl. engine is a little 
underpowered, but great fuel economy. 
No major problems in over 3 years.
