The RAV4 delivers carlike agility and a comfortable ride, though noise from the driveline can be intrusive. In addition, the engine wasn't very strong initially and the rear seat was tight. The 2001 redesign dropped the two-door version but gained interior space and improved performance. ESC became standard in 2004. Nimble handling, excellent brakes, easy access, and good fuel economy were pluses. 2006 brought another important redesign, with more space, an available third-row-seat, and an available V6 engine. The zesty V6 averaged 22 mpg in our tests; the four-cylinder got 23, an improvement of just 1 mpg.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
