I bought my 2011 in 2013.

I bought my 2011 in 2013. Just turned over 226,000 miles as a Travel Nurse. This the best vehicle I have ever owned. Just purchased a second 2011 with low miles. Keep up the regular maintenance and it will purr.

Great value in a dependable fun used car

We bought a 2011 AWD base model for our daughter just as the pandemic was starting. Three years later it has 120,000 miles on it and runs flawlessly. I just put on new shocks and struts and it rides like new. The driver side front axle seal needed replacement. The V6 has power to spare even in the mountain west, and makes it fun to drive. It's now worth a bit more than we paid for it.

Still runs great!

This is the best, most reliable car I have ever owned. Other than seals on the rear differential, I have done nothing to the car, other than brakes and routine maintenance. We have 157000 miles on it and it runs like new.

Best vehicle I have ever owned

It is spacious, very comfortable more especially long distance. I still prefer this model in terms of looks as opposed to new models. It is very low maintenance. I just love it

I love this car, so much!

This car, “Angel” is her name, is such a wonderful car, I just love it so much. I purchased it from a previous owner who had purchased it brand new when it came out but only drove it from home to a train station parking lot and then back home, the entire time. It had about 60k miles on it and was in stellar condition. I just had to buy all new tires and just replaced the battery, last month. When I bought it in 2020, I was elated to have just found such a grand deal and my word, it has lived up to my expectations and then some. It’s so easy to drive. It is very comfortable, inside, the trunk and storage room back there is ample and with optimal care ( I take great care of this car, no slacking) it runs like a dream. Gas mileage is pretty good. I use ‘Plus’ gas in it. During a recent drive from Jersey to SC and back, I filled up approx. every 4 hours at 1/4 tank left but yeah, I drove and opened that baby up like she’s never seen and quite frankly, it feels like it drives even better now, after that trip. I love this car. It’s just big enough for me and stylishly speaking, it’s super cute. The only thing is that I’m a ‘sunroof’ person. My very first car had a sunroof and I’ve loved them ever since but I get enough sun and light through all of this cars windows so, well, that’s my only wish. Anyway, did I say ‘I love this car’, already? She is a dreamboat and I will drive her and care for her until she takes her last trek and breath :) Adventure; we’ve got a lot to get into.

Wouldn’t want any other car to be my first!

The performance on this car is fantastic, from great gas miles and the smooth V6 engine, this car is runs great. Comfortable interior, very spacious and you don’t feel every bump in the road. Extra under storage in the trunk is so convenient. Feels very safe to be in as well. Only issue is back seat tracks are rusted from previous owner not cleaning water from a storm of the metal properly after leaving windows open, so they squeak when going over bumps. Other than that, I love my Rav4!

I've enjoyed my RAV4, it takes me where I want

It is attractive, reliable, handles well and has never failed me. I like the wheel on the back because I can find it in the parking lot

Spacious for a compact.

Very impressed with the turning radius and the ease at which the engine tackles hills and speed. Very comfortable, and the air works very well. The back has plenty of room to pack my stuff. I do wish this vehicle had a tire on the back like the 12 that I saw, but that might just be an optional feature.
