RAV4 TOTAL SAFETY SENSE IS GREAT

I had the 2015 and bought this for the safety features. The car pushes you back in your lane - GENTLY. Alarms you if someone is behind when your backing up, grandchildren, YIKES. Side mirrors lite up if a car is in your blindspot. Excellent vehicle.

Like it

Overall, I am very pleased with this vehicle. A modern 2.5 liter should have more power though. My pickup has a 2.7 liter Eco-Boost with way more power and the gas efficiency is almost as good as the RAV4. Obviously, Toyota has a way to go to catch up in that area. Other than that, I believe it has the best cars on the road. My experience has been that they last longer and drive better than most with less problems.

Great Car

We don't buy cars very often and that is why we have bought our last four cars with a Toyota label. We just replaced our 2006 Corola for a 2017 RAV 4 and love it! (we got a great price for our Corola too) Our RAV 4 is VERY comfortable, sleek looking, plenty of room for passengers and stuff. We are three weeks away for a trip to California from Indiana. Can't wait! There are soooo many new things that were not available in 2006 and we are really enjoying every one of them. Don't cheat yourself. Test drive a RAV 4. You won't regret it. Rick If you haven't test driven a Toyota RAV 4 you are cheating yourself.

Looking forward to buy one

We needed more room for family of four and I found Rav4 is the best vehicle for us. More legroom and spacious.

Nice but not my favorite

This car has a nice interior and exterior. I wasnt as excited as I should've been when it was purchased brand new a few months ago.

Wish It was a Plug-In Hybrid :)

I love this Rav4. Wish it came plug-in ready - nothing a bit of DIY can't fix, but come on Toyota! Would also have opted for a solar power sunroof if that was an option.

A very nice crossover

The 2017 Rav 4 XLE is everything I was looking for. The back seats are very spacious for our tall teenage children. Very nice features such as variable cruise control, nice electronics, comfortable seats and drives like your on a cloud. The sales staff was very perfessional and informative. I am very happy with my purchase.
