Great buy!

First time with an SUV and like it. This SUV is smooth and handles very well. It comes with many safety features and the only one I would enhance is the reaction time when the SUV sense you are derailing. Other than that it is perfect.

So far, so good: 12 month review

This 2017 RAV4 base model in silver is a fantastic value for its quality. We purchased this once our 13 year old minivan became too expensive to repair, and too large for our family's needs. We have driven this on several hundred mile road trips, and also use it as my wife's primary vehicle. Average highway mpg is around 27, and 22 in the city. It's a comfy ride in both settings, and has a deceptively large interior once you get in. I'm 6'2" and could sit comfortably in the back if necessary. Cargo room is ample, and my kids like the reclining rear seats for longer drives. If I were to recommend changes, it would be to add a hook or mechanism that secures the passenger side floor mat just like the driver's side has, and simplify the touch screen. There just seems to be a lot going on in a little space- though I'll admit I'm not sure how to do that. Overall, love the car, we'd buy again, and we'd buy from Jerry's Toyota. Their regularly scheduled service has been excellent.

Awesome Vehicle

I have had many cars over the years and this model is the best of the lot. It handles on the road superbly and the torque under the hood is second to none...I am a musician and needed a reliable vehicle that I can haul my gear in. I literally purchased this model brand new and it is simply a great car.

Love it.

After doing a lot of research and many test drives, I bought the RAV4, used, with 9,000 miles. I love all of the features. It's nice looking, handles well, very smooth drive.

Great car

Reliable and comfortable. Excellent dual heat and cold system. melting windshield wipers feature is great. heated seata are great. the windshield fluid container is great, it hold a full jug of wiper fluid, and so we don't constantly run out like we did in our old car. placement of the spare tire is terrible. our old Rav4 had the tire on the outside, not in the trunk. when you have the entire back of your SUV full or luggage and Christmas gifts and everything else, and you are driving in a mountain pass, when you get a flat tire you have to empty the whole car to get the tire. then the tire is not a real tire, it is a basic cheap tire. When you get a new tire, you can't put the old one back into in the spare area because it is only big enough to fit the cheap spare tire. overall great car

Great car with excellent safety features

Met all of our needs. Very comfortable and has so many bells and whistles. This car gets very good gas mileage and travels well on highway.
