2010 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

Bought new RAV4 LTD last week. When I went to pick up the car, it was noisy -- Sounds more like a Diesel engine

I bought this car last November (2009) and I love it. It drives and handles really well so far. Unfortunately, it didn't really snow last winter so I was unable to try it on the snow. I have the base 4 cylinder model and was very satisfied with the standard features such as cruise control, keyless entry, Stability control. The interior is spacious both front and back, particularly the big trunk space. This car provides sufficient power and is very agile that it's so fun to drive. This car offers so much for the price. It definitely is a good investment for the money.

I got my RAV4 in October of 2009. If you live where it snows you must own this car! I live in Wisconsin and last winter we got 18 inches of snow one day - I was the only one who made it into the office that day. I don't know how I lived without the bluetooth or keyless entry before this car. I never have to take out my keys! The only gripes are the back door is sometimes awkward and heavy and the seats could be a touch more comfortable. But I would absolutely recommend this car - I love it! Toyota has made me a believer and I will probably buy Toyota from now on. The V6 is the way to go with the RAV4 - Honda is really missing out by not offering a V6 in their CRV. Also - there is LOTS of leg room in the backseat. The seats can be moved backward or forward. I LOVE THIS CAR!

A good value and trusted Toyota reliability. The purchase process was also painless, and started with cars.com.

I bought a NEW Toyota Rav4 2010 in March 2010. I bought it because I had driven a 1997 Rav4 for 10 years, sold it , and have been sorry ever since. I am so pleased. It is a V6 Limited with everything and I love each and every little gizmo. This car is ME. Thank you Toyota, the bells and whistles are a 10!

I bought a limited which had many nice features. I was disappointed with the stereo. I am 5'8" and it is even difficult for me to get the driver seat back far enough to be comfortable driving. It also feels like the seats angles toward the door which is uncomfortable for long periods of time since I commute. The ride is somewhat rough. Otherwise, it is quite roomy and appears to be well made except for the several new car rattles. The gas mileage could be better. It is fun to drive and looks nice. Love the heated seats and the cargo space. The back hatch would be better if it opened from the curbside and not the other which makes loading difficult if you are parked on the street.

I am pleased with the features on my RAV4 limited. It is not too big but it does have great back seat room.

Took ownership of a 2010 Toyota Rav4 Limited in March and could not be happier. Go a head everyone and dish Toyota. I'm laughing all the way to the bank. The auto is great, I compaired it with a Subaru (I own now, big differance in quality) a crv (felt like a van). Has all the options plus I know it will last.

This little SUV does the job but that is about it. Great power but the interior lacks certain details that should be expected for the top model. The radio is horrific, not even good for a Yugo. All over the interior you can see coast cutting efforts and yet the car is not so cheap. Leasing it is worth it. Maybe one of the best value lease out there. For what I need it is fine, but I would have expected more.

I was sold on RAV4 during my test drive, when I made a almost 135 degree sharp right turn into a side road. Given its size, the handling was remarkable well. Feeling that even V4 gave me sufficient power, I saw no reason to get a V6. I have a long commute to work, 3/4 of it on the high way. I am truly amazed getting just over 30 MPG after two weeks driving. Granted, I am not a spirited driver and seems always get more than the window sticker number on MPG ( I get average 38 out of another car in the family, '10 Corolla in the last 7 month). I am nevertheless very pleased. Its cargo space is surprisingly large and well laid out, although the interior materials somehow feels cheap with too much hard plastics - truly unfortunate drift by Toyota and now lagged behind Hyundai. The tires have a little bit too much road noise but so do the models from other brand. I initially thought the 4 speed auto made RAV4 look like a decade back comparing with its competitors in the class. But with the smooth ride and remarkable fuel economy, I no longer think it matters. Recent safety recall no doubt made me think twice. But I have owned several Toyota, including a recalled '10 Corolla. I am not entirely sold by the headline story. All the negative publicity, however, did lead a great deal, including the 0% finance for 60 month. Dealer was also more willing to negotiate. Everything combined, Hyundai no longer has the price advantage and CRV became outright silly. So far, I have no regret with my purchase.
