Went from Corolla to RAV 4 and I love it.

I owned my previous vehicle, a Corolla for 12 years. I can see myself owning this vehicle even longer. It is very comfortable. All the new safety features are very helpful. It rides very comfortable and it has a great views from the front. It has a very open feel.

Great Car

Best seats, cockpit appointments, outstanding handling, everything functions as advertised. I don't understand why I did not purchase one of these vehicles earlier.

Toyota, Lexus

Great SUV for the money. Save reliable. Get the Limited Edition - has a lot of safety features. Safety - This was critical for us. We bought this car for our teenage daughter. Not a good idea to give old car to your kids.

Best car I have owned

This car has exceptional legroom and easy to use technology. Both of those features are important to me. Some will say that there is too much plastic in the interior. My last car was a Toyota Matrix, which is 11 years old now and also has a lot of plastic on the interior, however, my old car still looks new. I don't mind plastic. The only down side of my new vehicle, is the seats don't have great lumbar support, and crumbs don't brush off the seats easily or shake out of the all weather mats very well.

Best Car Purchase

When looking to upgrade from a car to an SUV the Rav4 was not initially at the top of my list. I had this picture of the older versions in my head. While at the dealership I browsed the RAV4s and was blown away by the updated styling and size changes. I fell in love after test driving for the weekend. I have the Sport Edition with the Power Package. I love the roomy interior and huge cargo space. It handles beautifully and is very quite. The powerlift gate is very convenient. Toyota did a fantastic job with the Toyota Safety Sense features. No more worrying about being too close to other vehicles while parking/backing up as it alerts to this.
