"We own a 2011 4 cylinder front wheel drive RAV-4. The gas milage is not as good as we expected. We get about 20 per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. Three times in two months the SUV engine raced and jumped while we were backing up. Toyta kept the car for three days and could not reproduce the issue. This is our third Toyota SUV and our last. Toyota SUV's are not as reliable as their sedans. Toyota SUV's are not woth the price!"

"I like the way the car handles, the gas mileage is up and down, I have owned it for two months now, I have 2000 miles on it. I have not gotten more then 23 MPG at the highest and 18 MPG lowest. I have not driven more then 100 miles at a stretch on the highway. I am hoping it works itself into better MPG. I don't like the light color of cloth on interior doors. It really shows dirt and stains easily . other then this, I really like the car. It is 4 cylinder 4wd. It has power, for a 4 cylinder."

"Purchased the LIMITED V6 4x4 in Pacific Blue fully loaded with the exception of navigation. Since I own a Garmin, no sense in having both. JBL + Bluetooth, leather, tint, tow + more! Don't drive a V6 because you will ultimately buy it! Very comfortable ride although thirsty in the city with around 17-18 mpg around town, which is not too bad. No long trips yet, but should get 22 + even with weight of 4x4 and engine. Interior is good, but would have liked some upgrade in materials, however nicely crafted and roomy. Towing will be easy with the tow package and powerful engine. Little to no changes in 2012. Buy at end of month for good deal. Used prices are high so I opted for new, since they hold their value well. Not cheap, but all the vehicle one would need for travel, sport, etc."

"After much research..alot done on cars.com, I went with the Rav 4...based on reviews and material that I read. So far I am very happy with my choice...the 4 cylinder impresses me with its power and ease..the vehicle feels safe and solid...my last SUV was a 2000 Explorer and this is far superior in every way."

"Great car for the money. V-6 motor and transmission combination better than before. Leather and options definitely make the car more enjoyable. Still has the dopey dashboard and odd interior design choices, but lots of SUV for the money. Anything else is $3,000-$5,000 more for the power and options."

"When shopping I drove every 4 cyl all wheel drive car on the market. Rav4 was my first ride and ended going back and buying. Excellent handling and gas milage isn't bad either. I would reccommend to any one looking for an all wheel drive vehicle"

"I OWNED A TOYOTA CAMARY FROM 1989 UNTIL 1999 AND IT STILL WAS DEPENDABLE AT 200,000 MILES AND THE NEXT VEHICLE I BOUGHT WAS A TOYOTA RAV. 4, 1999 MODEL AND STILL OWN IT WITH 155,000 MILES AND IT STILL DRIVES GREAT. YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS VEHICLE FOR COMFORT, RELIABILITY, GOOD LOOKING, SPACIOUS, AND KEEPS ON TICKING. LOVE TOYOTA"

"This is an excellent car. It's exactly what I was looking for. I go on a lot of road trips so I wanted 4 wheel drive and a lot of cargo room. This car definitely has both. It is very reliable and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend it."
