Very nice care for you money!

Toyota as we all know are very reliable. The new Rav4 is very aggressive-looking and sporty on the inside as well. The four cylinder is very reliable not as powerful as some would hope but it still gets the job done. very roomy inside the rear seats recline just like the front. The JBL sound system is amazing. For the price you can't go wrong with the RAV4 test drive one today.

Most sleek car I own

The color of exterior and interior is what I really wanted. Economical and dependable. Good legroom, and I got all the features I wanted for a new car.

No problems at all

Our previous car was a Toyota Camry that was the most reliable car we have ever owned even after 192,000 miles. But even the Camry had to be taken back to the shop a couple times for the first thousand miles or so to fix some initial problems. The RAV4 has had absolutely no problems at all. It appears to be a highly refined design. It is a pleasure to drive. It is probably the last car we will ever own since I am now 75 years old.

Love my new Toyota - totally reliable

The comfort is excellent - awesome suspension which I know I can count on this vehicle to travel not only for commuting but for visiting out of town.

Safest Car on the Road!

Previous to my leasing my 2017 Rav4 this past weekend, I drove a 2010 Mazda Tribute. Having bought my lease out 2 years ago, I have been shopping around for the next vehicle to lease. I knew I wanted a smaller SUV similar to the size of the Tribute, but was looking for safety, reliability, and backseat legroom. I currently drive for both of my elderly parents and was concerned about their ability to get in and be comfortable in the backseat and have room for walkers, etc. I am ULTRA IMPRESSED about the safety rating of the Rav4. I am way passed wanting to impress anyone with my car, but I can say after just 4 days I LOVE my Rav4. I actually had the opportunity to drive a Rav4 back in 2008 when my car was stolen and was in the shop for repair after recovery. I drove the rental for a little more than a month and it was what really sparked my interest in the car. I actually liked the way the tailgate opened then as it is more user friendly for women, but understand the concept of the tailgate lifting open as well. Since that time, it was always on my radar if the opportunity presented itself.

Love my new car -

Love the comfort and convenience of my new RAV 4 and Karl Malone Toyota has been great to work with and take care of me and my questions. Of course, I have only had it for two weeks - hope it keeps performing so great!

I have always loved the Rav, now it is even better

I love this car. It is just as fancy and stylish as a Lexus without the price. I would choose a Toyota every time. I have owned 3 Rav-4.

Best of the Non Luxury two row SUV's

We test drove most of the competitive models. We found the RAV4 the best bang for the buck. We got the XLE with convenience package that includes push button start, power lift gate and nav. Rides nicely for a small SUV and the seats are comfortable. Good leg room in the back. We don't intend to drag race so the 0-60 will do.

2017 Rav4 LE

We decided on this vehicle for several reasons . The size is perfect for us even as a primary vehicle. We had owned Toyotas before and knew of their reliability and we looking for a smaller vehicle with better fuel milage than the one we had. Even though the LE model is a base model it is equipped with more features than we were expecting, exactly what we were looking for. After 1200 miles we are averaging 26 mpg city, 31 hwy. and 28 over all. We bought this one off the dealers lot but had we ordered we would have ordered the exact same model. Very pleased !!!!!
