"Hi, I'm Tammy from Lexington, KY, and here is my recently acquired 1997 Purple Storm Metallic Ravvy! I must first say that I have bought (and promptly traded) multiple newer model sporty cars (99's mostly). This 97 RAV4 4DR 4WD has outshined them all, though, in fun and build quality. It came with the rear bumper hitch, roof rack, rear storage bags, cd, power everything, including moon roof, and someone put new Dueler tires with shiny chrome 16" Centerline 5-stars on it. I think it's a happy looking Ravvy and it makes me smile to drive it! It fits in any parking space and I don't have to worry about scraping the front end on curbs! Love the color! Definitely makes all other vehicles look way to serious. Also looking forward to experiencing Toyota's legendary durability. By the way, I work at a nursing home, and it has even gotten approving nods for "cuteness" factor from our older residents! Just to show the Ravvy appeals to all ages!"
