We've got a V6, the SX6 model. It's got plenty of go..... no trouble getting into the traffic. Fuel consumption is OK to, unless you use all the power. The Bridgestone tyres that come as standard seem to be OK in the wet, but are v. noisy. We've done around K38 k's & they have been noisy since we got the RAV. As soon as I can I will be changing over to another brand, maybe Conti's. I am 6'3" in the old scale & 100k's & don't have any trouble getting comfortable. Although can't put my seat back far enough with my granddaughter's capsule behind me. I tried fitting it to the roof bars, but my wife objected. We've fitted a nudgebar with lights to improve country driving & haven't had any trouble with the RAV. Apart from ferals who drive to close in parking lots.
