The Air Conditioning in my 2003 Toyota Rav4

Like most cars, mine has an air conditioner. I really do not have much to say other than in the 20 years that I've owned the car, I've never had to have the air conditioning serviced. To this day, it still puts out cool air. Let me say that once more, the air conditioning system has never needed service in all that time. Needless to say of all the cars I've owned, seven including this Rav4, this Rav4 has been the best car I've owned. That's probably a given - a H Simpson, no brainer, duh! I have put on her the biggest tires Toyota recommends, 235/65R16. I like big tires for a smoother ride. I have the Tonneau cover too. I've seen other Rav4 owners and their Tonneau cover is missing. Why would anyone want to remove that privacy barrier? This particular year model, 2003, was a high quality output year for Toyota. I'm glad I have it and I'm glad that others have theirs too.

Reliability and style

I've owned and loved this RAV4 for 19 years and have had no problems. I keep it serviced but the main components are solid and dependable. The car rides and handles very well and averages about 25 mpg in combined driving local and highway. Still an attractive vehicle!

Toyota Rav4

I can't say enough of my Toyota Rav4! I purchased it new with 6 miles on it. It is dependable, great on gas and is a comfortable ride. I've purchased several vehicles since 2003 but always hung on to my favorite Rav4.

Miss

I love my Rav, if I ever get another auto it will be a another Rav. Great gas mileage, smooth ride. Very roomy. Great on on trips. Room with back seats down for mattress, for camping. It’s been a great 17 yrs with this car.

Honest, reliable service

Affordable Automotive goes above and beyond to repair and maintain my Toyota which is 17 years old. They are honest, reliable and friendly. If they tell me that something needs to be replaced, I don't question it because they know my car as well as I do. Trust is very important to me and I trust them completely. If you haven't been there, I recommend that you do.

Rav4 reliable vehicle

I have owned my RAV4 since 2003 when I bought it new. It has been very reliable vehicle for me and have it maintained with regular scheduled maintenance check ups. You sit a little higher in driving this vehicle and gives you a better view of the area surrounding your vehicle.You see traffic better since you are sitting a little higher than the normal 4 door family car.

Love my Rav-4

I’ve had this SUV for years, it now has high mileage. It’s been such an excellent vehicle it will break my heart to part with it when the day comes in future. It’s been a real workhorse. They built it good and built it to last. All of my vehicles in future will be Toyota’s. Hands down.

Toyotas Are Great

My RAV 4 is 16 years old and is still running like a Swiss clock. This is my fourth Toyota and they have all been super reliable thanks to the wonderful Toyota service department. I have been and still am a happy Toyota owner.

An oldie but goody

131.000 miles and still going strong. Yes, it has a few raddles and scratches but still runs strong. Purchased the car in 2006 in Pennsylvania. Went through lots of winters with salt on the roads and still performs well.

My dependable Toyota SUV

This is by far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. In 13 years, all I’ve ever done is replace the computer once and brake pads once. All other has been routine maintenance. It’s so comfortable I can drive it for ten hour stretches and not be tired. When the back seats are folded down, it carries a lot of cargo. I’ll buy another Toyota in future.

My RAV4 has been a fantastic vehicle

My vehicle always passes inspection and has required very little maintenance over the years. in 15 years all I've had to replace is the computer and tires, and my first brake pads just recently. I love the handling and performance of this car and will be sad to have to replace it in future due to age and mileage--it's been a fabulous car, a real gem.

Happy as a clam

I bought this car in 2003. This is after I purchased other Toyotas. All my Toyotas have been super reliable and trouble free. I do all maintenance at the dealership to insure excellent and proper service. I always know I'll get to my destination in my RAV4?

A long time

We have had our Rav4 for a long time. It's a 2003 with 125,000 + miles on it and has never let us down. Westlake tire and auto in Denver, NC takes good care of it.
