The RAV4 is the best running car I’ve ever had.

I love my 2013 RAV4. It runs great. I haven’t had any problems with it. The key is to always keep up the maintenance Toyota makes the best cars.

2013 Rav4

Car is very reliable, i have had it almost 10 years. It has 155,000 mi Have replaced the normal things like brakes and tires. It has a stiff ride, changed shocks and struts and still stiff. which is the #1 disappointment. Between 45 and 55 it has a bad vibration..

Terrible handling/ride

Worst ride ever. CD player had to be repaired. Battery needed to be installed. Dealership held back on providing problems. Probably my fault for not asking. Just relied on the Toyota name. Headlights were foggy and should have been improved .Defect in left front fender. Needed a wheel alignment. I could go on. I was the fool.

I had to replace bulbs several times.

2013 RAV4 I bought this small SUV with 25,000 miles. This car is Mexico/Canada build. I am gonna keep it short when this car passed the 105,000 miles started to fall apart( literally). The car is “affordable “ because it is built with cheap parts, and replacement are very expensive. I had to replace shock absorbers, many lights, and TRANSMISSION.

Very reliable and comfortable

Interior and exterior appearance are just perfect. It has plenty of power and provides a smooth ride in any weather condition. We have owned this car for 4 years and will keep it for another 4 years at least.

Glad to be back in a Toyota.

We had an older RAV4 and when looking for another vehicle knew we wanted to check out something newer. Toyota has door a good job in updating the look and comfort without compromising the performance. Happy to have given another RAV4 a home.

Reliable Small SUV

We have 50,000 miles on this car. So far no defects. Fabric seats hard to clean. We get 24 city and 28 highway mpg from the base 4 cylinder engine. A bit noisy on long trips.

Not a car for comfort or room

This car is extremely uncomfortable, very stiff over bumps. It doesn't have a lot of room inside and nothing makes sense to me. It's just too bad because Toyota has always been one of my favorite vehicles. But they really did a horrible job on this one. I would never get a rav 4 again after that.

Safe, durable reliable.

The Rav-4 is a great SUV for folks who have long winter commutes. The safety features just keep getting better and that truly matters. You can expect to put 300,00 miles on the speedometer with very few repairs.
