A favorite since its introduction in 1996, RAV4 got a makeover for 2006. The former cute-ute is now all grown up, with a refined ride and features. Some less than lovely plastic betrays the price point of the build, but an overall solid, Toyota-like vehicle that delivers good fuel economy along with good performance.
