Our 3rd RAV4! Never buy anything else!!

We love the RAV4. We just keep buying another. We kept the last one for over 10 years and even then couldn't decide if we should trade for the newer one. There's room for the dogs (German Shepherd, Springer Spaniel) and all the luggage you could ever want to carry. It's never had trouble passing a car or avoiding a problem THEY ARE GREAT!!!

Nice Road car with saftey features

The safety features such as BSM and forward radar are great. We drove the new car 2000 miles to Disney World and it handled great on the highway. My wife likes the extra visibility that the car offers.

Worst SUV

This is a silk purse made from a pigs skin, in other words appearances are deceiving. Very very very thin sheet metal on the main body, engine knock at 800 miles, gas mileage is distorted..gets about 20 city 24 highway normal driving with I passenger. Not capable or worthy of a maintoned gravel road and I would not recommend ever leaving pavement . Seat material is flimsy, dash parts cheap plastic, carpeting is like paper material.....

Knew the minute I sat in the driver seat...

That this vehicle was for me. This is a fun little SUV with tons of safety features. I've got the Limited and am so happy I jumped up my budget for all the extras. The controls are user-friendly, the drivers seat exceptionally comfortable and the ride surprisingly smooth. Kudos to Toyota for a bold new color as well. Black Currant is just plain pretty.

Toyota

I love my New Rav4! It is so comfortable. The dash is so easy to see everything and reach. Having the back up camera and the peeps, if someone is walking behind is awesome. Also with my arms full of packages to be able to wave my foot under the car and my back door opens. The blind spot monitors are a great help. I can park and push a button and see if my car is parked correctley.Handles great on side roads and the freeway. Has a lot of pick up. Nice smooth ride. Will have my Rav4 for a long time!

Very dependable and comfortable

I love the comfort and ease of use, all instruments work smoothly. Very stylish and due to our winters, I am grateful that all wheel drive comes with this model. Very nice. Salesperson Miranda M made the whole experience very quick and comfortable.
