Compact crossovers have crowded the marketplace, and the 2008 Toyota RAV4 distinguishes itself as an early pioneer in this category that combines small-car proportions with SUV functionality. First available in the U.S. in 1996, the RAV4 has developed a sterling reputation in the compact crossover class.
We tested an entry level 2008 RAV4. With a base price of $21,100, our modestly outfitted test car stickered at $22,794, which includes 3 year/36,000 mile basic coverage, 5 year/50,000 mile powertrain coverage, and EPA estimates of 21 city, 27 highway.
