    Has anyone any knowledge of what these are like ? I've spotted two locally that look immaculate and have always liked them. Not really thinking of changing at the moment but you never know .

    Any comments on them ?

    It's more like high estate then 4x4. Sporty little vehicle for couple living in the city. Still quite pricey.
    Mechanically excellent comes with usual Honda quality. There is lots of 2WD jap imports around but I would prefer 4WD

    savage on fuel.

    Well HRV is about average on fuel. Rav 4 mainly comes in 2 ltr versions which is worst then HRV and higher on tax.

    Main thing, new RAV4 came out in 00( as old model looks like UFO) and is far more expansive then HRV.

    Yeah the older Rav's are horrible. I've been told by a reliable source that the HRV's were only introduced here in 99 which meant that these ones were imports and sure enough when I went for a look they were. Very clean cars though , like bloody new !!

    One was sold and the other was as good as sold !!

    As Gmodified said
    It's more like high estate then 4x4.

    They are that only that leg room in the back is poor . Nice machine though , I believe Honda marketed them as "The Joy Machine" !!
