Great car

I've only had the vehicle a week, but I love it! Handles well, gets great gas mileage. I only wish the passenger seat had electric adjustments, instead of manual.

Most impressive SUV I have had the pleasure of dri

The RAV4 surpassed the expectations I had for this small SUV. I was expecting something good and was really impressed with what I received.

Rav 4 -- the second one we've owned.

Very nice car. Good gas mileage. This is our second Rav 4. Traded in a 2013 for the Platinum series . It has many of the same features you would find on the Highlander, but is a bit smaller with better gas mileage. The foot sweep to open the rear hatch is great. And the heated steering wheel is a welcomed feature living in Wisconsin. Could have a little smoother ride, but overall great.

Platinum Trim Level Rocks!

Well, we have one reasonably long trip and 1000 miles on it, and thought it was time to provide at least the initial impressions. Let me begin by saying I'm a little disappointed in the gas mileage (approx. 27mpg on the trip and about 22mpg locally) but that from a perspective of a Prius owner that is used to getting 50+mpg, so temper that. To go along with that, the engine is just a little anemic; I wish there had been a larger 4 cyl or a small 6 cyl engine. The seats are firm (and we both love the Sof-Tex in lieu of leather), providing what both my wife and I feel is excellent support, and the car is relatively firmly sprung, at least by the standards of a Prius. It felt truly excellent on the 500+ mile trip. There are amenities galore and safety features that I have just begun to explore. I will write a follow-up review further down the road when I have more miles on it and more understanding of what everything does. So far, it is an excellent, comfortable automobile, and we both have fallen in love with its ride and its comfort. I must say, having never had one, the heated steering wheel rocks!

Reliable, Great safety features

Had a 2014, but the new safety features pushed me into trading for a new one. The adaptive Cruise Control is great and the lane assist.

You Can't Beat the Reliability & Style for the $$

I come from a high-performance car family (Porsche, Triumph, Jaguars, Vipers, etc) and to me, this is the best looking, best performing SUV on the market. I've had two Rav4s previously and will never settle for anything else when it comes to buying an SUV.

RAV4 - second one even better than the first

I traded a 2009 Toyota RAV4 in for a 2017 RAV4 and live my new car. Drives so smooth and for a 4 cylinder it had plenty of get up and go. Very smooth ride even over constructions area rough rodes. Hope to keep this one for another 125K miles.
