It doesn’t. It’s incredibly solid. Toyota can make rock solid cars. Even my Lexus (technical a luxury Toyota), is solid as ever. Toyota motor corporation is amazing at making good solid vehicles.
I have the exact same 1998 Rav 4 with a manual transmission. I bought it new in 1998 and it's made it to 396,000! I have taken very good care of it and have had to change the timing belt a few times. I had to replace the radiator once. It has the same clutch. To this day it's still running great, and I have no doubt I will make it well past 400,000 miles -maybe even make it to 500,000. The neat thing about this model of Rav 4 is the visibility and the way I'm seated as I'm driving it. Every time I get in it now, I can't help but be amazed about how good it still runs after all these years!
Agreed! However the check engine light came on it needs a new oxygen sensor. That’s not bad all sensors will need to be replaced , so it’s an easy fix. It can still be driven but it needs a new sensor in order to clear the engine light and pass the smog check when it is due.
I love my 96, it was a fwd 5 speed and I loved it so much I found myself a 97 awd 5 speed. Great little cars, easy to work on and its a taller camry or corolla, also basically a baby 4 runner with its off road capabilities
dont listen to the haters, i own one od these in Australia and its an absolute weapon, they are fun as hell to drive really feels like you are driving rather than just getting from A-B and they can go bush pretty competently as well
Yep it’s my dads little extra car. He loves the durability and decided to keep it. My parents use it for local driving like going to the supermarket and running errands.
Right on! I love this little rav4. My car isn’t this car but a 2008 Lexus IS250. The Lexus might be way smoother, but the bumpiness of this old little car makes it fun.
When I visit my parents , this is the car I use. I don’t even ask to borrow my mom’s Lexus ES350. The RAV4 is my go to vehicle when I’m in the Bay Area.
I bought my 1st car in 76 and got a 5 speed Celica.. the odometer broke at around 270 miles but i drove the hell out of it. I agree that manual driving is the only way to go!!
90’s was awesome. Cars didn’t have all this techno touch pad screen crap. No endless warning sensors like lane departure and indicator if a car was in your blind spot.
@@tbenson354 when I’m driving it at 80, even at the fifth gear as this is a manual transmission, I do not notice the engine struggling, or I don’t notice it being louder than normal. The RPM isn’t very high and it runs pretty well. So no issues on my end.
6:09 the CD was optional and was installed below the cassette player, at the slot where you have the covid masks. It was then controlled by the CD button on the cassette player.
Cool, I figured that empty void looked a little strange. Now I know a cd player would be there if the car came with it. Good to know, learned something new.
Yeah it’s a good car. My 2008 Lexus IS250 is solid too but as a luxury car it’s a pain when something needs repair as it’s expensive. So if possible I just drive my daily driver a 2015 Corolla instead.

These cars are so cool! And that’s from someone like me who owns a sporty rear wheel drive Lexus IS250. I just love these smaller SUVs from this time. It’s like halfway between an SUV and a car. You get the best of both worlds.
Good little car/MiniSUV. I'm assuming it doesn't have any oil leaks?
It doesn’t. It’s incredibly solid. Toyota can make rock solid cars. Even my Lexus (technical a luxury Toyota), is solid as ever. Toyota motor corporation is amazing at making good solid vehicles.
I’m loving the background music. Nice review Andrew. This car could last forever.
Thanks 👍. Such an Oldschool beat. I love it. So catchy
When I get my license soon, this will be my car! Awesome review bruh
Good choice! But it’s too damn old
I have the exact same 1998 Rav 4 with a manual transmission. I bought it new in 1998 and it's made it to 396,000! I have taken very good care of it and have had to change the timing belt a few times.

This car is a beast of a car. It might be a small car, but it certainly is a little warrior. It refuses to die and continues to defy the odds.
Someone once said "Its more fun to drive a slow car, fast. It's not fun driving a fast car, slow"
Well that’s a good saying. Certainly is true and factual.
This car is so damn old but I still would totally drive this.
I’m sure you damn well would haha
Wow so amazing and nice my friend watching here sending love and support here ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for visiting and checking out my dad’s old car.
Wow great song in the beginning !
Missy Elliot sampled it and it’s awesome
Rav4 is definitely a great vehicle and stand the test of time to prove it.
Agreed! However the check engine light came on it needs a new oxygen sensor. That’s not bad all sensors will need to be replaced , so it’s an easy fix. It can still be driven but it needs a new sensor in order to clear the engine light and pass the smog check when it is due.
Awesome video bro

Right on! These cars are special in that regard. They’re like the 4 Runner’s little brother. He’s cool, he’s hip, and he is a joy to be around haha.

Hey Andrew, nice RAV4.
Yep it’s my dads little extra car. He loves the durability and decided to keep it. My parents use it for local driving like going to the supermarket and running errands.
Still very nice car
Old yet still driving. Toyota reliability at its best.
I have a 97 I bought for $800 4 yrs ago & still running solid! Hasn't let me down. Suspension starting to go but I still feel safe driving it 😊
Right on! I love this little rav4. My car isn’t this car but a 2008 Lexus IS250. The Lexus might be way smoother, but the bumpiness of this old little car makes it fun.
Nice video ❤
Thanks 🤗 I try my best
Wow it’s 28 yrs ago and still good looking car fr Jessica padera
It’s the car that never dies. Haha
Here to watch and support you again. 👍
Thank you again
25 years old and still working, let’s see if the newer RAV4’s can last this long!
When I visit my parents , this is the car I use. I don’t even ask to borrow my mom’s Lexus ES350. The RAV4 is my go to vehicle when I’m in the Bay Area.
Beautiful car keep safe always driving
Thank you, I will
nice car thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
This is deeply fascinating
Truly mesmerizing
Have you ever had backseat fun in that car ? 😜. We should have fun back there too. Passionately ❤️
Yes I have. With girls however not with dudes dressed as girls.
I'm here to support you from La Fuel channel
La fuel is the best
Beautiful car
It sure is! So stylish 😮
Didn’t you make a video where you kidnapped some kid in this car? lol
Yea ! It was called Stranger Danger.
Durable car😊
So durable and so old
CD player was an additional option. It works with the stock radio you have but the CD part is mounted below where you have masks stored
I had a feeling that’s where it was supposed to be, but now you have fully confirmed it. Thank you.
I bought my 1st car in 76 and got a 5 speed Celica.. the odometer broke at around 270 miles but i drove the hell out of it. I agree that manual driving is the only way to go!!
2003 G35 Coupe I used to have back in the day was also quite nice, the manual transmission on a rear wheel drive sports car. It’s just phenomenal.
Nice car and beautiful day 👏👏
It sure is! Summer is great
Beautiful friend very nice video super 🚗🚙
Done✔🎁
Nice to meet you and to be connected 🙏
In the 90s you’d keep CD changer under your seat that would hold up to 10 CDs. That’s what that button on the radio is for :)
90’s was awesome. Cars didn’t have all this techno touch pad screen crap. No endless warning sensors like lane departure and indicator if a car was in your blind spot.
literally by dream car bro
I rather keep this over a 2000 Porsche Carrera 911. That car was a pain to maintain!
Great review for toyota
Thanks! 👍 I love this brand
I too generally have store bags in the carriage too. I'm not retired, but retired mentally 😂🛄
Mentally you’re retired and seen many many things in your lifetime. Indeed
Can you tell me how it runs at 80 mph? Is it rough? Does it sound like its struggling?
@@tbenson354 when I’m driving it at 80, even at the fifth gear as this is a manual transmission, I do not notice the engine struggling, or I don’t notice it being louder than normal. The RPM isn’t very high and it runs pretty well. So no issues on my end.
@@KingDrewPhilipawesome. Thanks for the 411!
Wow it's superb 🎉
Thanks a lot 😊 it’s superb on all levels.
Good for far away drive
Good for mountain driving

Howdy Andrew
Howdy 🤠. Greetings from the California heat.
Toyota brand is tested in terms of good quality
Very rock solid cars indeed
I put 300k miles on this car before selling it and it had no major issues
Yeah it’s a good car. My 2008 Lexus IS250 is solid too but as a luxury car it’s a pain when something needs repair as it’s expensive. So if possible I just drive my daily driver a 2015 Corolla instead.
Please , if u know anyone selling a 1st Gen RAV4. GOTTA BE MANUAL😂
Nice sharing po 😊

Wow nice car from Sanjay rawat
Such an epic beauty. Old and classic
Your car is my favorite color ❤
I like it too. Although my car is a nicer Lexus IS250 this is just my dads. It’s a nice little mini SUV.
Im in the same situation with my fathers car same color same year it still turns over but i need a peice of aluminum weilding

It says CD bcuz the CD changer is in the storage area......
