#32 of 768 MPG by lir May 28, 2006 (8:04 pm)
Is anyone else besides me getting poor MPG? I am only getting 20 in the city, I expected 24. I have the 4 cylinder/2 wheel drive Ltd. Is there a chance that it will get better with time? I'm a bit disappointed and almost wish I'd kept my Civic!

Replying to: lir (May 28, 2006 8:04 pm) I got gas today and computed my mileage, about 22 mpg 6cyl/2wd, combination hwy/city. I expected more, but it's about the same as the one I traded Mazda tribute v6/2wd.
#34 of 768 seat belt pretensioner rattle...06 Rav...600 miles by andrelaplume May 29, 2006 (7:21 pm)
Its driving me nuts. Adjusting up or down makes no difference. It just loud enough to be annoying and its there most of the time. Anyone notice and and better yet, find a way to fix it?
#35 of 768 driver seat vibration when air conditioning is on by jbdrebel70 May 31, 2006 (9:18 am)
Hello Toyota 2006 RAV4 4cyl base model owners, anybody out there experiencing unusual vibration on driver seat while air conditioning is on. It usually happens in the Drive mode while I'm waiting on a stop light. It does not matter it is on level 1 or 4 the vibration is constant. When the air conditioning is off things are fine.

#36 of 768 anyone notice...a few minor rants... by andrelaplume May 31, 2006 (11:44 am)
It really hard to get the 06 RAV to cool down on a real hot day...almost think the AC is undersized or the car.   Anyone find the extreme left and right vent deflectors annoying. You can only adjust airflow up/down OR right/left but not both...I guess they look cool though.   Anyone else annoyed the doors do NOT auto lock when put in gear or auto unlock when put in park or shut off....another real pain, especially with kids.   Anyone upset that you can only use your key to get in the front drivers door; that is if you do not have the keyless entry key handy.   Anyone miss having a light in the glove box or IN the hatch...what good is having in the hatch door since you open the door away from the hatch!   Finally, anyone upset by the lack of body side molding...though you can get it from dealers in Canada.   That seatbelt rattle is the worst of all though!

Replying to: lir (May 28, 2006 8:04 pm) I got my 4WD V-6 about a week ago and the first tank was 22 MPG. Dealer told me it would get better after a few tank fulls. Mostly City. Hope to get 28 to 30 on the highway which for a V-6 is very good. Going to Branson, MO next week and will be 600 miles round trip so it should be a good measure of all highway miles. Will report that MPG after my return. Luv my RAV. Replies to this message: spacewagon (Jun 02, 2006 8:18 pm)

Replying to: avrguy73 (May 25, 2006 2:48 pm) Is the downshifting problems only occur on 4 cyl? how many mileage do you have when it happen? Wondering if this problem will continue even if the vehicle is alreary broken in. I have Rav4 4cyl, after reading some post here with downshifting problem. I am kinda worried if it will happen to me. so far the vehicle is doing fine, It only have 150 miles on it. Try to drive it eassy for now, I don't even take off fast. When i stop at the red light and when i go, i just hit the gas smoothly the most it would only go up to 2000 rpm I don't care if driver behind me will complain and i don't hit my breaks hard either.

Replying to: risa (Jun 02, 2006 6:12 pm) Mine is a 4 Cyl 2 wheel drive. It first happened to me when it had about 3500 miles on it. Driving it easy makes sense, although in emergency situations that may not be possible. I don't drive fast either, but when I need the power I expect it. The issue to me is the car needs to be more responsive to driver input.
