Downsized from Toyota Sienna and love it.

Love our navigation system, blue tooth, handling, our leather seats, to mention a few. After owning vans for the last 30 plus years, we were wondering if a smaller vehicle would work for us. We just love our new car.

Love the Rav4

The Rav4 is an excellent vehicle, this being my third one. It is comfortable and reliable especially for long distance.

RAV4 LE no-frills comfort and utility

My RAV4 LE is a basic model that still provides a reasonably comfortable and quiet ride for an AWD. I did not want to pay for so-called luxury features, and found a great deal during April's $2000 cash back sale. As a senior, I wanted easy access, safety, and reliability which the RAV4 LE provided over other small SUV's.

Love having a Toyota back!

This is a very comfortable and stylish small SUV. Just slightly more room than a car yet giving you the great car type gas mileage. Feels great to be back in a Toyota again!!!!

Family Favorite

It's hard not to love a RAV4...and this year's model is improved over the past with its wider wheelbase, smoother ride and ease of collapsing the back seats. We love its versatility for riding, hauling, and parking. And our local deal gave us an offer we couldn't refuse! We shopped around, but RAV4 was top choice for us.

Liking it!

I've only had the RAV4 hybrid for 10 days, but I've been happy with everything about it so far. I've driven a little over 700 miles of city, freeway, mountain highway and back country gravel roads while getting 35.1 MPG. I really like the feature that detects pedestrians that I might not see otherwise and the feature that keep separation between my vehicle and the one in front of me. So far, I'm really liking it!

Sleek, Stylish -- Perfect

I downsized from a 2013 Toyota Sienna (family of 6) to a 2017 Rav4 (seats 5). Although it's one less seat, I am very happy with it. The interior is very sleek and stylish, the seats are black leather (which many of them come with cloth seats) and very comfortable -- nice back support. The back seats can incline or be laid down for storage. I enjoy all of the safety features. Nice stereo system. I'm starting to feel my age again and not like a "mom". Love it!
