Quick summary
Total: 176 cars
The 1995 Toyota RAV4 has an overall defect rate of 406 per 100 vehicles, which is 25% higher than the average for cars of the same year. Notably, it performs significantly better in the steering category, with a defect rate of 18%, compared to the average of 31%. However, it shows poorer results in several areas, including visibility, wheels and suspension, and body structure, where its defect rates are markedly higher than average. As mileage increases, the defect rate also rises for this model, particularly in the higher mileage brackets. Overall, while the RAV4 excels in steering reliability, it has notable weaknesses in key safety and structural aspects.
