Toyota RAV4 Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Toyota RAV4 rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Toyota RAV4 reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

Toyota RAV4 Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Toyota RAV4 tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Toyota RAV4--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
