2014 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

We are leasing a Rav 4. As with most cars you have to live with it a while to see short comings. The interior has many flaws, poor location for many switches which cannot be accessed without contortions. Very poor interior lighting, especially in the rear. The bottom of the doors collect mud and snow leaving your clothes a mess as well as the garage floor. No illumination for controls located on the door. The heated seats are not as effective as others I have owned. The gas tank is too small. The radio operation requires a Masters from MIT, hundreds of pages to the manual! I am glad I am leasing and not owning.

This is a very good car for the money. Seems to be more economical than advertised. Practically noiseless, and well controllable.

I found the navigation screen almost impossible to use due to the glare. I have overcome this by using a $200. Garmin Nuvi, and stuck the suction onto a hockey puck then dropped the whole thing into the front cup holder. The power outlet is right there and the screen can be tilted toward the driver and is crystal clear regardless of bright sunlight. The puck fits snugly into the cup holder which is a convenient coincidence. As far as reading radio stations and other data, well that is still a problem for me, anyone got an idea?

Purchased 2014 Rav4 after comparing with other famous sports utility and been driving it for about 2 months now. Cabin is noisy and ride is bumpy!

this is the first time I have purchased a Toyota personally. I have had friends with them, but for me I have not owned one. So far, with the one month of use, I like the vehicle. I am a bit disappointed in the engine size but with time I hope to get use to it. On the highway it takes a bit to get the car moving...

Have owned the Rav4 for a month. We are very pleased with it so far. Ride and comfort are excellent. We are still learning what the car can do. The manual for electronics package alone is 200 pages. One small complaint, display screen is nearly flush with dash board and sometimes unreadable in bright sunlight.

After reviewing rating online and consumer reports, I decided to see a Toyota Rav4 at the dealership. My husband and I found this vehicle to be everything we both were looking for in a sporty vehicle. Being that we like to do outdoor activities, Sunday drives, traveling, this vehicle provides everything we were looking for in a car. We purchase the XLE model that included the navigation. It has the sun roof, gps and other applications such as weather and traffic. It also has fog lights and many other features to make our trips enjoyable. We are very pleased with out purchase.

Dad MPG, this is my toyota, and i getting bad MPG 21 city; 26 hwy. love the radio and phone setup. at 4,000 miles. no problem.

It's really too early to give an impression of the things on the list, we just bought it yesterdqy. BUT, it was a replacement for a 2012 Rav 4 which was totaled in a MVA. Our 2012 was very reliable. Never had a bit of trouble with it. . I love Toyota!!

I've driven the RAV4 for about 1000 miles an overall I'm very happy, you as a prospective Rav 4 buyer compare the XLE and Limited for seat comfort. I find the armrest moves back-and-forth "adjustable" and sometimes is annoying and blocks the drink holder. Also a couple of the controls are in-conveniently placed above your left knee while sitting in the driver seat. I purchased the limited because I wanted blizzard pearl paint and I am very happy that I did I'm happy with all at this point after driving the thousand miles the liftgate is very convienient The pushbutton start is wonderful and the doorhandles lock and unlock is a very convenient feature. I would highly recommend the RAV4 for mileage and controls and drivability and I would recommend it to a friend
