sluggish

I took it for a test drive last year, with two of us and the salesman in the car. It seemed sluggish, on a straight, long, even road. My 2014 Kia Soul (reviewed here) was much more peppier, even with two overweight passengers. Car is attractive, salesman offered me a too good to be true deal on it. I passed. Buy the Soul, THAT's a good value.

My "Stella" is Stylin' & Profilin'!

Yes, Stella is her name and I ABSOLUTELY Love Love Love my RAV4! Toyota Rav4 is one of the safest SUVs on the road! It also has great leg room and is comfortable on short drives or on the highway. Good gas mileage, but have I have mostly in town driving. Drives great and has great pick up and go even in ECO mode!

Have owned 2 Rav 4's. Love the ride and feel.

We love the ride and feel of stability. Handles the road excellent in our winter conditions. Comfortable back seats and plenty of leg room. My only issue was the side mirrors cause a major blindspot trying to take corners or seeing curbs when making a turn compared to the mirrors on older model Rav 4.

They just continue to make the RAV4 great!

Comfortable, roomy, handles very well, has wonderful safety features that are SO helpful . If someone is tall or needing leg room, you'd be very comfortable in this one. Fantastic Sound system.

Sweet Ride

This Rav4 is in like new condition. I was looking for a Rav4 in this color and in this year. Cars.com sent me to a dealer in my area that had exactly what I was looking for. I might not have gone to this dealership if not for cars.com and I would not have this wonderful car to drive.

Completely happy!

This vehicle was a replacement for one that I owned for the last 12 years. I was a bit concerned that the much smaller engine would leave me wishing for the power of the big V8 of the older vehicle but the 4 cylinder in the Rav4 has proved to be more than adequate. I am very pleased with the safety features that come standard with the Toyota and the gas consumption is exceptionally good.

Super cool

We were not sure what SUV we were looking for. We had seen several Rav4 models And also looked at a Ford Escape and A few others. We were blessed to find a RAV4 with lots of extras on it that we were not hoping for. We are very pleased
