Great car

This car has been great for us. We especially like the hatchback, as I have a walker that must travel with us. We also feel that this car has a lot of ?pep.?

Good Value

Plenty of room even for a compact suv. Pleasant car to drive, even though I thought the CRV drove better. I bought the RAV4 over it, because of the gasoline in oil problem CRV has with their 1.4 direct injection turbo engine. Reliability has always been my number one priority when buying a car. Toyota drive train is well proven.

Power and torque awful. Needs 2.0t

It came down between the RAV4 the Mazda and the Hyundai and the Hyundai was the only one that had a 2.0 T and enough power to be fun to drive and also safe to drive when you really need to pull out quickly in a very congested City the RAV4 was just a dud it was such a shame. So well-built and woefully under-powered salesperson tried to say it was powerful with a straight face he couldn't do it. 15 minute test drive and we had found our 2.0t Hyundai Tucson better warranty better value same safety features and comfort features along with tech features it's just a better value.

Pleased with my new purchase!

This car may not have been rated the highest among compact SUVs, and there's stiff competition. But the base model meets all my needs and more! I never knew how much I needed BlueTooth connectivity, Lane Assist, and an Eco Mode in my car until now. It runs smoothly, has an excellent turning radius, and good line sights aided by blind spot mirrors. There's plenty of room in the front and back. All for a very reasonable price compared to very similar cars and with the reliability of the Toyota name!

Downsized and I love this car!!

We decided it was time to downsize from our 4Runner and started looking at the Rav4. We were concerned it might not have enough room, but once we test drove it and saw the spacious interior, all concerns dissolved. It not only has plenty of cargo room, but has great gas mileage too! Plenty of room for four adults, no problem. Five adults is fine for short distances, but a little snug for a road trip. Love the safety features that come standard on the Rav4. Nice job, Toyota!

It's My 4th Rav4

I love my Rav4! It is extremely reliable, it looks fashionable, it runs smoothly and provides a comfortable ride, and it's great for hauling big items. It gets good gas mileage and I love the SmartKey ignition where I don't have to dig around and find my keys in my purse to open my car and start it. There really isn't anything that I can say negative about my car, which is why this is the 4th Rav4 that I've leased.
