2018 Rav4 was totaled by someone who ran a stop sign. Miss this car every day. Every single airbag went off and me and the other passenger were safe and able to walk away alive. Thankful for this car.- Does recommend this car

Love my Rav4
Looked for a used Rav for 2 yrs. I finally found one online, lady owned. I contacted her, we went down to Midland, purchased it plus it happened to be my favorite color. I love it and also made a new friend.- Purchased a Used car

RAV4s are the best cars ever.
I picked up a 2018 Limited for under $25K with 30K miles in like new condition. These cars are amazing. The engineering is as reliable as they come. It drives like it's on rails and the gas mileage isn't too bad with the powerful 4-cylinder engine. I also have a 2019 Highlander and I love them both. Toyota makes the best cars- Purchased a Used car

2018 Rav4 XLE reliable and maintenance free
I owned my former Toyota for 14 years and expect to to own my 2018 Rav4 XLE for at least that long. I've not had any problems in the 5 years that I've owned it. The SUVs appearance both inside and out is what makes it an attractive car. It has been reliable and maintenance free. I would buy another Rav4 when this one wears out- Purchased a Used car

Take care of it and it will take care of you.
The 2AR-FE engine (in my 2015 and 2018 models) and they U760E transmission are durable classics. That same combination is featured in Camrys and Lexus 250s of the time. Oil changes are engineered for 5,000 miles (don't do 10k oil changes if you want your car to last more than 150,000 miles or to maximize resale price!). Transmission- Purchased a Used car

Most reliable Ugly SUV
Most reliable ugly SUV out here. It will always start and take you from point A to point B and C… but it ugly as s….LOL. I don’t know what did they have in mind when they designed this car. Especially the front is just very very ugly. Very uncomfortable inside and pretty weird interior design. It’s a perfect car for a college- Purchased a Used car

Enjoy the Best Small SUV on the market.Great SUV!
I purchased new 4 years ago. What a ride very comfortable and high safety ratings. Cheap matinence tires, oil changes and tire rotations. Toyota is a top brand and worth considering. I got the LE model nice car but missing a few toys like heated seats, sat radio and and fog lights. Recommend getting the Toyota RAV4- Purchased a New car

Rav4 Great SUV
Owned a Rav4 2007 and it was very dependable so bought another one used year 2018. Great safety features, handles well, gas mileage is as advertised. Roomy interior. The headlights have been something to get used to as the illuminated area is different from the 2007 model.- Purchased a Used car
