Very great consumer car for first time car buyer

This is a ver great commuter, this is NOT a luxury car but it definitely doesn’t feel like the up most of cheap. The interior coming from a “car” person is pretty good like above average I have the LE version (base model) and the cotton seats are extremely great after 3 years of use they held up good. The floor mats are decent the plastic rubber type stuff on the dash and steering wheel held up the gps screen is really good. The exterior is something I wouldn’t expect from Toyota they really try to make the base model not look like a base model and it worked the only problem I have is the lights there bulb lights but they barely work sometimes I wish they could be a little brighter and raised up more and sometimes people flash there lights at me thinking I have my brights on when it sometimes feels I don’t even have my lights on. Now let’s talk about performance. This is not a performance car but I wish it had a little more power just a tad bit more great gas mileage but sometimes when I go on highways especially if the on ramp is short I kinda have to gas it I don’t know if it’s a Florida thing but everyone here seems to go 85 90 and I do to.

Great SUV so far, no problems after 16,500 miles

Very roomy for 4 adults. Lots of leg room in the rear seats. Ride is soft but handles well in all types of weather and road conditions. My only disappointment is the cheap materials used inside of the car. Seats are black nylon feel fabric (hate it), lots of plastic, no soft touches anywhere. The shifter is the worst, the passenger can easily hit and put in a different gear.(has happened to me) on the tollway!!! Hope to keep for a few more years and look to upgrade - maybe toyota, or lexus. My RAV4 IS 2018.

Happy RAV4 owner

I recently purchased a RAV4. I am extremely happy with this purchase the vehicle checks all the boxes. I have long legs so it is extremely important that I am comfortable. This 2018 RAV4 is the perfect fit for me. It seems all of the newer models of SUV‘s are moving towards a taller console which I find to be very uncomfortable. Features, handling, looks, affordability, safety features, this vehicle has it all.

Love sitting higher driving than my previous sedan

It has a smooth ride and great pick up. Haven’t had a back up camera before & really like it. I also like that it has a CD player since most new cars don’t & I have a CD’s I still love to play. I also like that it has a key instead of those silly fobs. I see no point in them whatsoever and they are too easy to forget and take them somewhere else when you’re in a different car.

Great smaller SUV

So far, so good. Thanks to Randi Kemp at Big Two Toyota for finding this car for us. We wanted to downsize from a bigger SUV. Perfect fit.

Toyota Rav 4 great car and very reliable

I love the all wheel drive on the Rav4 and the heated seats and steering wheel is great in the winter! It is very dependable and have not had any major problems with the car - just routine maintenance.

This is my third RAV4 -I love it!

There is room for almost anything. (I even fit an adult tricycle in it!) I feel very safe & secure in this car and it’s fun to drive!
