Love this car!

I recently bought the 2018 RAV4 XLE and this is a very reliable car. I also had a 2013 in the same model, but had over 110,000 miles on it and it also got a small oil leak which I found was expensive to repair, because the entire engine needed to be taken out to put a seal on. So I decided to get an new one. The mileage is good, I get about 27.5 miles per gallon and the new models have all the safety features, like Blind Spot Assist and automatic braking, along with warnings if you are drifting out of your lane. My old car got me through many snowstorms and it is a really good car for the money. I would definitely recommend this car.

Second Rav4 is awesome

This is our second Rav4 and we love the new features that are now standard, such as the warnings for traveling out of your lane and the safety features on the cruise control. It's a great looking, great driving car and Toyota of Riverside has

RAV4 Boom!!!

Love my RAV4 Limited. Pretty good gas mileage. Love all the bells and whistles. Drives n rides like a dream. What would I change... the passenger seat!!! Sits too high, too much lumbar support and is not adjustable. Worst passenger seat ever! Also, a redesign on "stuff" holders and places. One little triangle hole and one open ended small flat space is awkward and useless.

The perfect vehicle.

This vehicle can really spoil a person. Every amenity you want at a literally at the touch of a finger: locking/unlocking the doors, starting and shutting off the engine, using the radio and apps.

Just got it and love it already!

I owned a 2008 RAV4 before and really like it. This new one has so many safety features that my traded-in 2015 Outback never had (not even self locking doors) that I feel so much safer already driving this vehicle. I?m still working on understanding all of the new features I?ve never had before!

My fourth Toyota, love them. Reliable.

I need something a little bigger and the Rav 4 is perfect. Handles very well. I like sitting up higher. Has all the features I wanted.

Entune Premium System Sucks

The Entune Radio System is worthless and Toyota knows it. If you paid out for the Premium System you just got taken. If you do not have a high definition signal in your area, your weather app and traffic app will not work - period. So why is Toyota using the Entune as a selling point? Maybe it will work if you get onto an interstate. All Toyota will say is "You have to have an HD signal." So why is Toyota purposely selling something that works conditionally? Why not use the Sirius XM weather and traffic app? Also, your Sirius radio will constantly cut out. So you forked out $2200 for an option that does not work much of the time. Scan the internet to verify. Many Toyota owners are complaining about it, but the problem is not Sirius. It is the xxxx poor Entune system of Toyota who does not want to do anything about it. BY the way , I have only owned my RAV4 for about two months. My 2017 Tacoma does the same thing.

Love my Rav!

Dependable, beautifully styled, drives great! I would recommend this car to all of my friends and family! Always buy Ravs and wouldn?t want any other type of car. Perfect for me!
