I found a 2001 RAV4 AWD manual transmission and I have a few questions.
- This was the first model year of the model change - any issues?
- It was the first year of 2.0 VVT engine - anything to look out for?
I did not see any options for ABS or vehicle stability system, so I assume one would have to drive it properly - like an SUV that can tip over.
Reviews said it was a fine "road" car but not for serious off road use. I assume it could still handle it muddy field or snow better than a FWD Camry.
