| I replaced my horns yesterday with a pair from AutoZone. I can't stand the "Road Runner" horn.......the replacements are much better. Not as deep as say a Cadillac horn.....they sound more like an Italian sports car. |

My Matrix was installed a set of Hella horn and the sound is great, sound level 118dB.

| I put the Freeway Blasters on last week, not much room in the OEM location, but with a little trimming on the horn bell and reshaping of the supplied mounting brackets, they mounted Ok. 130Db for $15 each, 1 high, 1 low tone, they use the same flat terminal as the OEM horns, so no wiring changes were needed. |

| Buy the RAV4 and plan on changing the horn if it is a manhood/womenhood issue! I have tried a few in test drives and it is pathetic. But the truck is nice and a bargin I think. |

LOL- I just used my horn a couple of weeks ago and I was quite embarassed. I had no idea what to expect. I had a Tacoma before and that had a mean horn...so when I heard the sound on the Rav, it was quite unexpected. I felt embarassed for honking. LOL
With that said, I would never not chose a car because of its whimpy horn sound. I still love my Rav.

I've never heard the horn of the 4.1 or the 4.3, but i do like mine  .. to me, it sounds pretty bold. I try using it anytime i can, of course, with a reason, like when someone gets on my lane cuz i'm in their blind spot  . I came from a country where a car horn is a really necessary and useful tool
