2012 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

I bought my RAV4 in 2015. It was 3 years old with 23,000 miles on it. Five years later I have 117,000 miles on it and I couldn't be happier. I take care of normal maintenance and haven't had any unexpected repairs at all. Reliability is of utmost importance to me and its been flawless. I love the interior space and how it sits up high. Its fun to drive and great looking, too. This 2012 RAV4 has been exceptionally good for me.

So far the car is running just fine it had low miles and is in very good shape. It’s hard to find a car this year that doesn’t have a lot of miles!!

I owned the 2012 RAV-4 from 2015-2020, bought it used. Never had any major maintenance issues even at 70k miles. The only reason I no longer own it is because of an accident; I hydroplaned on the highway, skidded across four lanes of traffic, and slammed into a guardrail—the car was sadly totalled, but there wasn't a single scratch on me. The safety and reliability of this car is unmatched for its class.

I got the 7 seater 4 cyl with dealer modified Sunroof etc. I fitted a android navigation unit to replace the original CD unit. This car never failed in snow, desert, highways or city. I drove it for 65K miles in NJ, CA & GA and it always did the job with very little maintenance like Battery, tires and Brakes. Get tires from tire shop and not from dealer as they sell very bad tires. It is under powered compared to a V6 only on gradient roads. It can still be quick on the highways.

i drove this car for the past five years and no problem ever. It is an excellent drive and very low maintenance and fantastic gas millage.

Not luxurious, but ROOMY, COMFORTABLE, & RELIABLE. No issues ever! Perfect seat-height for us seniors. Easy getting in/out. Great, tight turning-radius. Would definitely buy again.

I’ve been spoiled for other cars by the RAV4. My last one had over 195k miles. I’m looking for even better longevity with this one.

This car has plenty space and not too big. The seats are comfortable. The car is smooth to drive. I liked that car very much.

Everything I was looking for. I was looking for something that sat higher, a vehicle with storage space and would do great in all weather conditions.

Two weeks and one day after I bought this car I was rear-ended by a Ford focus hatchback. The girl texting and driving had to have her vehicle towed from the scene, and the spare tire on mine took most of the damage. She still did about $3,000 worth of damage, but I was able to drive away. The car can use a better sound system, and the seats are okay - but it's a tank in the snow, and so far has been great.
