2008 Toyota RAV4 SUV 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
At first impressed and then not so much
 I am a 7 year Toyota owner and didn't think twice when it was time to buy a another car. My 2003 Corolla took me to 150,000 miles with no problems (besides standard maintenance).  I bought my CERTIFIED 2008 RAV4 in November of 2009 and have had to replace the breaks, tires, and battery since then.  At first, I loved the snappiness (torque) of my V6 Rav4. After replacing the breaks and the tires (after 6 months of ownership) I was a little discouraged. Then, my battery went out and what I didn't know is that the power steering is powered by the battery.  I lost complete power steering in the middle of a major intersection and am thankful to be alive.
