In this video I'm taking the first generation Toyota RAV4 on a little adventure off road and on the pavement to find out what kind of fun it can deliver, if any.

There are many companies that claim that they made the first suv. Jeep claims its the Cherokee, ford claims the explorer, Suzuki claims the vitara and lada claims the niva. Yes all these were introduced before the rav4, but the rav4 was the first to be good to drive on the road as it has compact size, its lightweight and independent suspension.
You have a point! But Niva was the first lightweight real off-roader carrying passengers in a relative comfort 🙂 Relative bc of a 60s tech it was based on. RAV4 went the other way - less off-road capabilities, but better road manners. I’m not mentioning comfort because it’s obvious with 20 years younger design/technology. So, yeah - the 1st SUV in our current understanding of it. But it’s FWD version is not the first crossover. That was Matra Rancho as I explained in my other film.
Thank you for the comment and please stay tuned! More content is the works!
Nice take on the car in this video and quite a mild opinion. Don't get soft on us!
Thanks 🙏🏻
I was trying to be funny, not soft 😜
Tengo una del mismo color pero de dos puertas, son hermosas 😍
Hermosa - no, interesante - sí 😂
Thanks
These are so bulletproof its the reason why i can have several dream cars but ngl this onw always turns on
Most of the time it’s true, but let’s wait for the Garage Talk video on RAV4, when it gets up on a hoist ;-)
My FIAT MULTIPLA has 340,000 on the clock and it too still goes strong 💪🏻
@@MotoringBug haha that's decent my rav has 757k miles and five speed 3rd synchro crunches when I redline bit I can't complain drove a 1.4 turbo Fiat 500 and it was blast but my mate only got 120 before the gdi killed it
120K miles might be not too bad for a small 4 pot Turbo, but ultimately it’s a proof - drive classics! :)) They were made better! 😂
There is like one or two of these for sale in the whole of usa.
Awesome! Oh, by the way... i'd way prefer that Stereo in it than any of the new aftermarket units these days. Great vid, thanks!
(Radical - Automotive - Viability 4-ever) LOL
Thanks very much! 🙌🏻
Yes! Totally agree on the radio, but CD player would be better 😉
Love your take on RAV4 abbreviation! Awesome! 🤣
Love the car. But one thing, your music is loud and your commentary/mic is too quiet in comparison.
Thank you for the comment!
I'm sorry if it was difficult to hear what I was saying 😊
You need to do ASMR content you got the voice
I did one :))

Wow seen this video after already planed in 10 days to go for one in same color with 140k km. What about consumption on the Road???
Great! I hope it helps to confirm your choice!
The official figures are:
8,6L/100km - urban
5,9L - extra urban
But to get these you have to be really gentle with the right foot 😅
I had no mercy during my filming, so I guess I averaged at around 10L/100km 🤪
@@MotoringBug thank u!! Yes helps a lot, im between mkI or mkII diesel but we only live once, lets go for the 90's!
😅 I agree! Go for it! Mk II might be a bit better appointed and has more torque while, of course, being more economical with the diesel, but it’s far from becoming a true youngtimer classic. This is a ticket to an interesting world of meet ups, friends, clubs and you’ll get more appreciation of your efforts to keep it on the road!
