It looks like the 2008 RAV4 gets worse gas mileage than the 2007. Didn't the 2007 get 30 MPG freeway?

It does not get any worse mileage. The EPA changed the way they compute MPG for 2008. If you look at most cars you will see they are less now too. The new way is supposed to be more realistic.

Hi,
 
I paid $1500 under MSRP, which wasn't easy. My husband did the negotiations over the phone before I went in and picked it up.

Here in the Seattle area, the Camrys in good shape don't last long. I sold mine (93k miles) for $5300. You won't get near that from a dealer. Check craigslist to see what they are selling for in your area and also check Kelly Blue book to get a realistic selling price. I got the RAV4 for $1500 under MSRP. Not great, but pretty good considering how fast they are selling and the high demand.
 
I just waxed my the baby (blizzard pearl) and boy does it sparkle! From what I understand, there were no changes from the 2007 to 2008 models. I've got about 300 miles on her and no complaints yet.

Base or Limited? by webbe

Can't find the answer to this anywhere what is the difference between the limited and the base on the 2008?
Was thinking of getting the Base 2008 Rav4 with 6cl and 4x4,
Edmunds list price for that in both the 2007 and 2008 but when I went to toyota.com and tried to put in the 2008 base and added the 6cl, a prompt came up saying you must select limited. Do they no longer over the 6cl with the base-do you
have to get the limited?

HI there....question about the stereo? Did you get the xm?
I have ordered the new Savannah color '08 RAV4 Limited 4WD 6cyl, which is awesome, with the xm, mudguards etc. Being a new color, it is hard to come by, so I am still waiting.
Someone wrote that the stereo wasn't that great. The one I test drove did not have xm, but was great sounding to me.

i believe it depends what part of the country you are in. some areas have different option packages than others.

If you have a 2008 RAV4 and have read the 2007 forum postings, can you comment on such "problems" as cruise control, uncomfortable driver's seat, exagerated EPA MPG numbers, rough ride, and poor standard radio/CD player. Thanks.

I just ordered my new RAV4 v6 Limited with XM radio. Does anyone else out there have the XM and how do they like it?
 
I also have the new Savannah Color for 08 which is a Taupe color that is sharp on the RAV4 !
 
Thanks if you have info on the radio.

I am 6'2 and had a 2005 Avalon before ordering the 08 RAV4 Limited. It has plenty of room, front and back, and the rear door is not an issue with me. When I test drove the RAV4, I found the seats were comfortable, the ride is quiet for an SUV.
I did ask if they would ever move the tire underneath, and the dealer said probably not, that it was a trademark of the RAV4 to have the tire in the back, so chances of the door being changed are slim for the future.
Drove an Outlander....no comparison to the RAV4. More noise, very un-comfortable and alot less power with their V6
