Sporty, great handling, holds everything I need!

This SUV holds much more than I expected. Handles great in snow/ice. Big enough for three adults to sit comfortably in the back seat.

Rock solid reliability!

Solid, smooth engine. A little underpowered with the 4 cylinder and 4wd. The transmission is very smooth. It is awesome in snow and averages 22 mpg city. My only complaint would be the highway fuel mileage. Manufacturer claims 27 on highway. Best I've seen is 26, but usually average 24-25. I guess it's because it only a 4 speed transmission.

Reliability is outstanding for all road conditions

Well thought out vehicle for real life atmosphere that people encounter everyday. Suspension is great, very reliable and drives smooth. Wasn't a fan of Toyota. Now that I bought one. Very impressed with the performance that I see in the vehicle. 4x4 is great. Engineering in vehicle is well planned and would think it took the simplest thought of what you wished or wanted out of a vehicle. Especially in bad weather or bad road conditions.

Graduated to Rav 4 after 20 years in Sienns

My kids are all grown and I was ready for something fun and less mom. I found that in the Rav 4!! It's zippier than a minivan but still has the compact feel of a car. I love the look and drive but do wish the seats were a bit comfier.

Nicest Upgrade in Several Years

Was looking for an AWD SUV that would fit the short space available in my garage. This RAV4 had almost all the options I sought, good cargo room, fair power (for a 4 cyl), and feels good in the driver's seat. Front passenger seat not as comfortable because it doesn't have the height adjust like driver's. Only had this car a couple weeks, so reliability rating is of previous Toyota experience. Used to be a GM person, but Toyota and Honda both have both won me over from several of the recent GM I've worked on or driven.

Perfect Compact SUV

This is a great lil SUV. Holds 4 adults fairly comfortably and the one we have has all the options so that makes the ride even better.

Reliable !

Very reliable with the plenty of power V6 option available. In the RAV4 sport that we own it has great power and great torque to do what we need to do and go where we need to go with the all wheel drive
