2010 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

Purchased this car new for my wife. Has basically been bullet proof with very little need for mechanical repairs. It's understandable why these cars routinely exceed 200,000 miles and more in their lifetime.

My favorite vehicle I have ever had. I had an after market radio installed in the vehicle when I bought it and everyone is very impressed with the car and it is a comfortable ride.

Meets all of the expectations of a Toyota. It is perfect for my needs. Sunroof and rear camera unexpected features. Great performance and value. The Toyota dealership told me I got a great deal.

Sporty & luxury. Good back end space with rubber mat a must! Leg room comfortable & room for child's car seat Has a nice v6 vroom to it!

I love this vehicle. 2nd RAV4 that I’ve owned and I’m really happy with it. Handles well in poor weather which is frequent in MN. Great size as well.

I bought car used with 20000 miles it now has 50000. I love it I am going to keep this car as long as possible

I bought a brand new 2010 RAV4, lovingly cared for and pampered this car. However, even with great maintenace this car turned out to be a nightmare. This car was recalled so many times, i just stacked the notices, then when i incured obvious rear end problems like leaking seals and slipping differential, the dealer wanted $105. to inspect the recall, nice. Then in 2018 noticed gas mileage decreasing and a strange noise and vibration, after investigating it at 130,000. miles found out the torque converter and lockup clutch was bad. Decided to get rid of it before it got any worse. When looking for a different car, many dealorships without even looking or drving my car for trade in, said they wouldnt touch my car with a 10 foot pole because of known transmission problems with that brand and car. So got lucky one day and traded it in to a busy chevy dealorship that never drove the car and only received 8100 on a chevy truck. Needless to say, I will never own or buy a toyota again!!!!!!

Bought new. 218,000 miles so far and no service issues. Comfortable. 23mpg. Enough space to be useful or hold 5 adults. Quick but not powerful. Nice handling for an SUV. One negative - the 4WD is only engaged under 25mph.

I absolutely love this rav 4 for getting around in the harsh winters and it gets great gas mileage for our traveling adventures. It also has a good amount of space in the back to pack things in!

We have 100,000 miles on our 4 wheel drive V6 RAV4. I really love this car. The only problem it has/had is that we noticed a small leak under the engine two years ago. My mechanic said it was the rear main engine seal, and would cost $3000 to fix. We decided we could live with a minor weeping seal, which was his recommendation. It stopped leaking not long after. All fluid levels are normal, so I consider it a non-issue. Now to the positives: You can sleep in the back, as long as you put a small board down to cover the 3 inch gap. When loaded up with 4 people including climbing and camping gear it will go 80 miles an hour uphill all day long. We drive from Seattle to LA every xmas and that thing is a little sports car. It's fantastic in the snow...though that may be due more to the 4 studded snow tires. The seats feel great, even though we have the simple ones. Inside of the car is plastic...but so what? It works. Nothing has broken in 8 years. It has the original starter, water pump, radiator, alternator, everything. I've had to do brakes of course. We love Toyotas. I've got a 2004 tacoma with 240k on the original engine and clutch! And we have a 1991 Corolla that has 365,000 on the original engine and transmission. It's the unkillable car. I just put on the third radiator. 4th gear on the Corolla doesn't work anymore, but 4th is over rated. We go straight to 5th.
