2017 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

I think of Rav4 XLE met all my needs and no addition feature into my Rav4. I don't have to complain my parents that cars are quite the useful to take you other places might come in handy. As long its safety and work pretty well.

Room, comfort , economy and technology.....a very good blend of what you would like in a mid size SUV....I especially like the 18 inch wheels on the SE AWD model I purchased.

Buying my RAV4 next week Did anyone get the extended warranty What did it cost you? Love the car so far just do not know if I need or the cost I should pay for the warranty

MY THRID ONE STARTED WITH THE XL. HAVE MOVED UP TO THE LIMITED. LOVE THE CROSSOVER WILL NOT GO BACK TO A CAR. LOVE THE NEW FEATURES, POWER SEATS, GARAGE DOOR OPENER, CRUISE, LANE DETECTION AND BACKUP WARNING.

Best vehicle I've ever owned very happy with it it was hassle-free to deal with the dealership my salesman Jay invite was excellent I would recommend him to any of my friends or people I know

First off let me say I owned a 2013 Ford Escape and sold it to buy the Rav4. I bought this vehicle in early March of 2017 and I now have 14000 miles on it...yes, I drive a lot! 80 miles round trip a day to and from work, I average 28.2 MPG on my AWD SE. I love the looks of the vehicle inside and out, the SE model has the LED/HID headlamps and tail lights, looks great! This model also has the power lift gate, which by the way, you can adjust how high it opens very easily. I have the "soft-tex" seats (Toyota's answer to leather) feels nice and looks good with the SE red stitching. I have to say that the seats could have more padding, as they are a bit uncomfortable after several hours of driving. The ECO mode is fine, but the SPORT mode gives you the extra "zip" that I like to feel in a vehicle. It has to do with the transmission gearing when put in SPORT mode. Either way my MPG's have stayed the same, 28.2! Another issue I have is that not all of the dashboard buttons are lit for night driving, I find this irritating...really?!?! The "safety sense" features are great! Saved me from an accident just the other day...whew! Blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and back up camera are great! The "Entune HD" radio/cd player has a very good sound, better than other vehicles I have owned. The rear seats lean back or fold down flat for cargo. I had two teens sit back there for a 10 hour trip and they said it was nice, plenty of room. I'm 6'-4", and 255 lbs. and I have no issues with headroom or legroom in front or back. Handling is a bit more stiff on the SE model, harder suspension...almost no roll going around corners or handling at high speeds on highways. Visibility is good except out the back but you have a camera so...Overall I am happy with the RAV4.

There are too many other options out there I wish I had considered. Take your time and shop for value, reliability, and comfort. The paint is already peeling. Biggest regret of my life!

Gave away my 2006 Honda CRV and bought a 2017 Toyota RAV4. Look at Nissan Rogue but the CVT transmission has a lag so when you step on the gas pedal there is a slight hesitation. RAV4 has a 6 gear auto transmission, is has much better acceleration. Look at Honda CRV but it is thousands of dollars more, also uses a CVT transmission pluls CRV does not have an all-around the vehicle camera. With RAV4 I can see the entire car from a top down view plus it has four warning sensors on all four corners. Parking is so easy.

Has so many safety features which is very important to me. I like the back up camera too.. Very comfortable and love the aqua metallic color. Has lot of space in back for suitcases and more.

Love everything about car except no place to stash purse, umbrellas, etc. Maybe better design of glovebox .
