Toyota 2009 RAV4

In Consumer Reports’ Annual Auto Issue, the 2009 Toyota RAV4 beat out the Suburu Forester for their Top Pick for a Small SUV. That means if you’re in the market for a small sports-utility vehicle, you should head on down to your certified Toyota dealer in St. Louis and one out for yourself right now with the full knowledge that it’s the best car in its class.

Here’s what gave the Toyota RAV4 an edge over its competition:

The 2.5-liter, four cylinder engine blew Consumer Reports away. They found it was improved from previous years’ and rated it better than the competition’s, giving our small SUV the power edge it needed to climb mountains, go off-road, and haul anything you need to move.

The Toyota RAV4 doesn’t need bells and whistles to be a darn good small sized SUV. Other models may have had good turbo-charged versions, but Consumer Reports knows that when you’re shopping for a good certified Toyota, most of you aren’t looking for a souped-up model with tons of extras. You’re looking for a good-looking, tough, reliable small SUV – and that’s what we gave you.

Our standard four-cylinder automatic outshone its competition by being its everyday best, and that means every time you get behind the wheel of your new certified Toyota RAV4, you’re getting serious quality. Head over to your local Hazelwood Toyota dealer today to get a great deal on the 2009 Top Pick for a Small-Sized SUV: the Toyota RAV4.
