Used 1996 Toyota RAV4 for Sale near Los Angeles, CA

Overview

The 1996 Toyota Rav4 introduced a relatively new concept: all of the height, none of the bulk, way more style than similar vehicles.
The 1996 Rav4 was fairly cutting edge for its time. It had the luxuries of a car such as cup holders and easy in-and-out (although it still sits higher than the Explorer), with the more rugged feel of an SUV and the price of a small- to mid-size sedan.
The four-wheel drive system is run on a 120-horsepower, 4I engine. It takes a full 10 seconds to get up to 60, yet has the accompanying fuel efficiency (about 21/25 city/highway).

This is an awesome vehicle that works really well for me to work out of as I do maintenance and repair work. I love that the back door opens out that way I have extra head room when working out of the back. It will go anywhere and it is super reliable.

IMO this car essential started off the whole SUV thing. I still remember the huge shock when this car debut... it looks funky, different and interesting. They market it as a leisure fashionable off-roader with on road capability and a high driving position.... whatever that is, it seems to be very successful at the time.
