Great in snow!! Roomy

More than met my expectations. Good value, roomy, stylish, great safety options. I would buy another in a heartbeat and am considering buying one for hubby as well down the line.

Great Car!

This is my second Rav 4. Love it! The only thing I have an issue with is that the rotors start warping at about 14,000 miles (in both 2015 and 2017 Rav's I've purchased)... My understanding is that Toyota is aware of this but they haven't guaranteed to fix. Other than this, it's the best car.

Great Car and great size

The RAV4 is a reliable well appointed inside and out. Great Value and very comfortable to drive and sit in. The size is excellent for many uses for pleasure and for picking up items.

Good car

The RAV4 is roomy and comfortable! I wish Toyota would make it with leather seats and more interior color choices. The car doesn't take off as quickly as i would like, but I was used to driving a Toyota Solara SLE and it was a small car with a V6 engine.

Beautiful style. Beautiful ride.

Great mileage in the ECO mode. Easy to handle, love the safety features! Comfortable and a truly beautiful SUV! The stereo system is exceptional and can be controlled from the steering wheel.

Great buy!

First time with an SUV and like it. This SUV is smooth and handles very well. It comes with many safety features and the only one I would enhance is the reaction time when the SUV sense you are derailing. Other than that it is perfect.

So far, so good: 12 month review

This 2017 RAV4 base model in silver is a fantastic value for its quality. We purchased this once our 13 year old minivan became too expensive to repair, and too large for our family's needs. We have driven this on several hundred mile road trips, and also use it as my wife's primary vehicle. Average highway mpg is around 27, and 22 in the city. It's a comfy ride in both settings, and has a deceptively large interior once you get in. I'm 6'2" and could sit comfortably in the back if necessary. Cargo room is ample, and my kids like the reclining rear seats for longer drives. If I were to recommend changes, it would be to add a hook or mechanism that secures the passenger side floor mat just like the driver's side has, and simplify the touch screen. There just seems to be a lot going on in a little space- though I'll admit I'm not sure how to do that. Overall, love the car, we'd buy again, and we'd buy from Jerry's Toyota. Their regularly scheduled service has been excellent.
