Toyota Corolla 2009 2010

TOKYO (AP) – Toyota is looking into possible power steering problems with the hot-selling Corolla subcompact while its president said Wednesday he won’t be attending the U.S. Congressional hearing on the automaker’s safety lapses.

“I trust that our officials in the U.S. will amply answer the questions,” Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda told reporters. “We are sending the best people to the hearing, and I hope to back up the efforts from headquarters.”

He said Yoshi Inaba, who heads Toyota Motor Corp.’s U.S. unit, was more familiar with the U.S. situation and was the best man to deal with the hearing. Toyoda said he was still making plans to go to the U.S., but dates weren’t set.

But in an alarming disclosure of a possible widening of Toyota’s recall crisis, the Toyota executive in charge of quality controls, Shinichi Sasaki, said Toyota was taking seriously the complaints about problems in power-steering in the Corolla, the world’s best-selling car.

Toyota Rav4 lends 2010

When I first saw the Rav4, my first thought was "I want that car!". The Rav4 is the perfect picture of a sporty, trendy and adventurous car. It is appealing to a younger market though it certainly is not intimidating to the older crowd. It is not hard to picture the Rav4 parked outside a high-end boutique, a slammin' party at a college frat house or a quiet suburban neighborhood. This is a car for anybody and everybody. The thing that draws most people to the Rav4 is its great design and powerful engine.
The Rav4 lends fresh meaning to the mini-SUV concept. This car comes in either the 2-door or the 4-door version. With the 4-door, the Rav4 is capable of carrying 5 passengers and there is a big cargo well behind the rear seats. This is not just a practical car; the Rav4 is the definition of fun. What more could you want from a car? Aside from its ravishing looks and build, Toyota Parts Rav4 are in a variety of spectrum. The Rav4 definitely has the IT factor for not only does it respond to your basic car needs, like transporting luggage and cargo, it also completes your fashion statement!

Toyota RAV4 was a concept

old_rav4.jpg

2006_toyota_rav4_title.jpg

The Toyota RAV4 was a concept born in 1989. The moniker RAV4 means Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel drive. 5 years later, the first Toyota RAV4 was launched at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show. UMW Toyota is now offering the third generation Toyota RAV4 on our local shores. The previous two Toyota RAV4 compact SUVs were commonly called RAV4.1 (top left) and RAV4.2 (top right). The Toyota RAV4.2 was available here in CBU form through either UMW Toyota or through grey importers. Both three-door and give-door versions were available. Let’s have a look at the third generation five-door 2006 Toyota RAV4, or the RAV4.3, which comes to Malaysia in CBU form.

2006_toyota_rav4_5.jpg

Internationally, the Toyota RAV4 is offered with 2.0 I-4, 2.4 I-4 and 3.5 liter V6 gasoline engines in most countries that are large-displacement friendly, as well as two 2.2 liter D4D turbodiesel offerings. Our local CBU 2006 Toyota RAV4 comes with a 2.0 liter engine and an automatic transmission.

At first glance, the new 2006 Toyota RAV4 looks like a face-lift of the previous second generation version, although it seems that it has gained weight abit, in the right proportions. It also gets a new snout shape flanked by projector headlamps which reminds me of the Scion tC Coupe. The new 2006 Toyota RAV4 is 145mm longer then it’s previous incarnation, and cabin length has been increased by 85mm. The distance between the front and rear seats has been increased by 55mm. The width has also been increased by 80mm. This will allow more comfortable seating of 3 adults at the rear seats. As a whole, the interior volume has increased by 13%. Newly developed rear suspensions with diagonal positioning of shock absorbers also allow more luggage room because of minimal wheel arch intrusion. This allows a 230mm increase in luggage room width, making a total luggage space increase of 47%. Maximum luggage capacity with the rear seats folded flat is 1,459 liters.

2006_toyota_rav4_6.jpg

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 is powered by a 2.0 liter VVT-i engine – the 1AZ-FE. This powerplant is a 1,998cc 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC electronic fuel injection engine featuring Toyota’s VVT-i variable valve timin technology for a smoother torque curve. The engine makes 152hp at 6,000rpm and 198Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, giving the 1,505kg car a nice spirited drive, though a 2.4 liter would be alot nicer.

The only available transmission is a 4-speed Super ECT automatic, with Active Torque Control (ATC) 4 Wheel Drive. Active Torque Control automatically controls the transfer of torque between the front and rear wheels, allowing seamless changes from front-wheel drive to four-wheel drive whenever the additional traction is needed. Remaining in front wheel drive in situations where 4WD is not needed will improve fuel efficiency. The front suspensions are MacPherson Struts while the rear suspensions are trailing type double wishbones. Brakes are 16 inch ventilated discs at the front, and the rears are solid discs. The car rides on 225/65/R17H tyres wrapping nice 17 inch alloy wheels.

2006_toyota_rav4_1.jpg

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 gets a nice grey and silver and beige interior colour scheme, with a sporty 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel. I personally would have preferred if it was dark grey, light grey and silver but as a premium SUV, it’s target market normally prefers some beige or cream in their interior. The dashboard meters are of the Optitron variety naturally, which self-illuminates, allowing for a clearer display with less glare. This eases the strain on the driver’s eyes. Air conditioning is a digital system with ample outlets, and there are even foot outlets for the rear passengers.

2006_toyota_rav4_2.jpg

The Audio System is a 2-DIN system that plays MP3 and WMA, and is hooked up to a 6-disc changer. It’s design complements the dashboard design, but since it is of the standard 2-DIN variety you can change it to a better player if you want. The audio system comes with 6 speakers standard.

As with all Toyotas, the 2006 Toyota RAV4 has a GOA certified body. There is an abundance of airbags in this SUV, with dual front airbags and side airbags for the front row. There are also curtain shield airbags for the front and rear passengers. The driver also gets a special knee airbag. I told you there were plenty! Other than 4WD for improved traction, the car also has anti-lock brakes and electronic brakeforce distribution. The 2006 Toyota RAV4 is also equipped with Vehicle Safety Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC), down-hill assist control and hill-start assist control. Remember the Toyota Landcruiser VX commercial featuring Toyota’s down-hill assist?

2006_toyota_rav4_3.jpg

Being a CBU fully imported from overas, the new 2006 is certainly not cheap. But it’s a real Toyota world car, and has an impressive feature list. The 2006 Toyota RAV4 will cost you a whopping RM203,400.00 for individual private registration in Peninsular Malaysia. For those living in Langkawi and Labuan, it will cost you RM93,282.50
