2013 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

I used to drive Sedan, and getting into SUV has given me a what I was looking for, specifically more space for my children which served as family car for short and long trips.

Love the color of interior. Best comfort on our trips we have taken. 28-30 miles to gallon on trips. I would buy another one when needed.

I bought this 2013 vehicle new, currently have 64k miles on it, and have enjoyed driving it. It has great pickup, which helps in quick passing in tight spots. It is comfy (of course I'm not a tall/big person). I've had to date no major service issues.

I really liked my Toyota Rav4. It was a great size for someone who doesn't love large SUV's but wants some cargo space, or has a family. The car was very reliable, and drove awesome. I did feel like it had some slight issues in snow (after further research realized it was probably just my model) driving, and heavy rain. The weight distribution was slightly off, and the back end would slide slightly. Still loved the car, and would totally recommend!

When I test drove this previously owned SUV, I realized there have been many advances in features I have missed. My Rav 4 is such a pleasure to drive.

I bought this RAV4 to replace my F150. I had F150s for over 20 yrs and they just got too big for my needs, enter the RAV. The car did everything I wanted except for the comfort of the seats, after 20 mins I would get pain in the back of my legs regardless of how I positioned the seat, I could vary it a bit but never eliminate the pain and discomfort. I put 25,000 miles a year on this car so I can speak with good authority on these below average seats. It doesn't present in the test drive but on longer drives its torture. The F-150s are all day long comfortable as is the Subaru Outback that replaced this RAV4. Toyota made a nice vehicle with the RAV that suits the needs of many consumers but failed in the driver/car interface in epic fashion. The Nissan Murano outclasses the RAV by light years in seat comfort. BEWARE if you are shopping a RAV4 try a Nissan, Subaru... see how the seat feels and think long and hard before getting that RAV. Other than that it was very good in all other areas but lets face it, if you dread even short trips in your car it doesn't matter what else it does, it has to meet a minimum comfort level and the RAV 4 does not, not even close.

I only wished I'd gotten remote open/close on the door of the storage area. Seats let down for more storage space and when I open my sunroof, I'm in a sports vehicle. The sound system is awesome. I'm not a soccer mom, just like the room and the idea of having space for everything when needed. This is such a cool vehicle to drive, some knee discomfort; and as we all know, Toyota is a mainstay of reliability! One thing, the driver's seat leg room, distance between the seat and the accelerator/brake is a little uncomfortable for me, I try adjusting the seat to different positions but to no avail, smh. This is causing my right knee to ache, be uncomfortable.

The model I got is not as "glitzy" as some SUVs, however, that's really not what I was looking for in a vehicle. I need decent leg room for a tall husband, and the RAV4 provides plenty. Gas mileage is definitely a selling point, as is the reliability typically associated with Toyota. The outside looks impressive and sleek, but I do think that the inside could use a bit more refinement. Turning and overall ride were tight and smooth. It's perfect for carting the family!

The newer rav4 is a great small SUV for everyday use with lots of space for the random times you need it. I love the laws. I say best small suv, out there and plus it doesn't look like a bubble!

I really really love this vehicle. I went from driving a Nissan Sentra 2003 to a 2013 Rav 4 so this is quite the upgrade. So far I have no complaints with the car besides a leaking sunroof. I'm not really sure why that is (I haven't looked into yet) but I went for a touchless car wash and the entire front interior of my car got wet. In terms of driving performance, it's a very smooth and comfortable ride. You won't even know when you hit 120 km/h but it does get slightly noisy when you do. In terms of gas, it's not as great as I thought it would be even on eco mode, but it's still quite good. For an SUV it definitely drives like a regular Sports car and doesn't take up space when parking. Overall, I'd say it's one of those vehicles that make you find reasons to drive. :)
