Toyota RAV4 2013 FAQs

What is the best small-medium SUV to buy used for under $15k

If you liked the RAV4, then a newer, more modern RAV 4 should be on your shopping list. Your budget gets you into a RAV 4 from, say 2012 or 2013, and these were, in fact, available in two-wheel-drive (since you no longer need all-wheel-drive).

The march of technology means that the RAV 4 used less fuel with every generation, so it’s worth comparing your car’s fuel economy with the later version. While early versions of the RAV 4 (like the own you once owned) would have trouble beating 10 litres per 100km, the more modern RAV 4 from 2013 will easily consume less than eight litres per 100km over the same distance. If you drive carefully, that difference could be even greater. Don’t confuse the continuation of a badge with the stagnation of technology.

Toyota RAV4 2013: Gear slipping problem

It is hard for a dealer to replicate a problem if it doesn't happen with any regularity, so persist with the dealer, and if that doesn't result in your satisfaction report the problem directly to Toyota (ph 1800 869 682).

Toyota RAV4 2013: Burning excess oil

You need to continue to hound the dealership and Toyota's customer service people, and ask for a meeting with the dealer to discuss the problem and to request a plan of action to resolve the problem. Because replacing the pistons and rings didn't solve the problem, the engine may need to be replaced, and I would suggest that you pursue that option with Toyota. While you are seeking a resolution with Toyota also consult the Victorian Consumer Affairs department and ask for their support.
