I bought a Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS ($519) and it's portable which I can move from car to car as needed. I found that it's very reliable
Please a prompt answer is appreciated.
The rattle begins when the car reaches about 40 mph. It does not change as the rear view mirror is adjusted, and can also be heard with the window open. Seems to originate towards the front of the panel. I have checked the gloveboxes, and held down everything possible while the car was in motion to try to get it to stop.
A relative popped the hood and suggested it was vibration in the heat shield where it appeared loose near the washer fluid hose (it is on the passenger side). Eliminating this vibration made no difference.
I was disappointed to take the car back to Toyota, only to have them acknowledge the problem existed, yet not be able to locate it. Didn't feel right.
I thought - since it is a new car year - I would give it a couple more months to see if others had this problem and a solution had surfaced. Now that I am reading your posts, I think I should just get it in next week.
Almost all my mileage is below 40mph or freeway. Not much in between. This car was a treat to us, I guess I want a fix for an out the door price over $28,000.
It is a very annoying problem on an otherwise great vehicle.

Good Luck.
Thanks.
Could this be a problem with impedance matching, or does my iPod just not have enough juice for the stereo ( stock ) to recognize it is plugged in?
Thanks,

Toyota RAV4: Not4 Me (Long-Term Road Tests)
27-28 strait highway at 70 mph.
V4 vs. V6? V6!
160 vs. 269? 269! Period.
Do you remember the commercial (a few months ago) when a guy is sitting in a pickup truck and the anouncer says - Have you ever wondered will you have the torque when you need it?
Well, with 269 hp you will.
Anyway, I can say without any hesitation, that this RAV with its 6 cyl VVT engine really moves when you want it to. I can also tell you that it has such torque that when you throttle it down, say to pass someone, you better be ready for it, cause it'l get away from you. When you push that throttle down, and it downshifts, hang on baby! Your off and running....fast, like right now fast!! You gotta be carefull with that 6 cyl. It has all the torque that everying in this forum says it does!
Thanks
Last year (2006) Lexus RX330, equipped with V-6, 3300cc engine, does that the same as (2007) Cienna V-6 3300cc engine ????
Thanks You.
Does the "fax attack" method really work? Last year I tried the fax attack method to purchase a 2006 Mazda Miata...didn't get a single response. I did purchase it with a sizeable discount after sending a number of e-mails to various Internet sales reps at Mazda dealers.
Thanks!

Great group
Mine gets mpg as billed: a non-impressive 22.8 to 23.2 mpg in local traffic but a very impressive 30mpg on the interstate. I drove roughly 365 miles on one tankfull on an interstate trip recently, but, as I said, the local mpg is kinda not so impressive. When it comes to mpg the 4 cyl is the winner, hands down.

I have never purchased a Toyota and am considering purchasing a RAV4 4WD Limited 6cyl.
Thanks!
There's also Dealer Holdback questions, Rebates, Incentives, APRs - Questions & Comments and Toyota Advertising Fees discussions.
That's just the stuff we sort of know about - info about the swag, spiffs, bonuses and free cruises is tougher to come by.
Highway mileage is fantastic!!! Beats any highway V6 RAV 4
mileage I've heard of.
And about the Highway mileage I mentioned...when I drove that trip I made I did not go over 80mph. I kept my speed limit between 75 and 80....

I would be ecstatic to get that kind of mileage. My '05 RAV(4WD L) only gets 20mpg in city, and 26-27mpg on highways (below 75mph), which is in the same ballpark as my '03 Maxima SE which has a 3.5L engine.
I was thinking maybe there's a difference in the mechanism of the 4WD between the '05 and the '06 that causes the differences in mileage. Tell you the truth I don't even know the ins/outs of the 4WD system on my car.
i hope they change that for next year model.
No 5 speed auto in the 4 banger? The CR-V had that even before it's recent redesign.
If they did changed to a lift door(w/ that spare tire still there) it would be a pretty heavy to lift that back door
V6 baby, Toyota has done it right on the RAV4.
Check out the tread on Price Paid, 90% agree on the 6 cylinders
