perfect size SUV

This is a great car, smooth ride, nice features.... the only issue I have is that I have a toddler and the center rear seat does not accommodate well to his booster seat so I have to place him on either side. A little more room for a car seat in the center would make this the absolute perfect car.

Very impressed with the vehicle.

A lot of safety features, room, comfort, and style even in the base model. Very impressed with the handling and breaking. The cruise control is amazing.

My second Rav4!

This is my second Rav4. I previously owned a 2013, which was the first year of the current generation. The 2018 XLE I currently have seems to be more refined and is the last year of this generation. Slightly better ride quality, more advanced tech (which is included as standard) and proven reliability has been the reason why I stayed with the Rav. I am very impressed with the automatic high beams, lane departure assist, adaptive cruise control and other safety features such as BSM and CTA. Also, some added soft touch surfaces are very much noticed and greatly appreciated! Toyota makes a good car at a great value. The Rav provides a spacious interior (I am a 6ft tall man weighing in just under 300lbs), comfortable seating, and a layout that is very intuitive and just easy to use. My only (somewhat) complaints about this vehicle are: that it is a bit shy on power, and could use further enhancement of ride quality. Of course, even better fuel economy would be great too! As I never had any real repair issues with my previous RAV, the provided Toyota care visits for PM and further PM visits at my local deal, Jack Sherman Toyota, were always very efficient and a pleasant experience. I will continue to be a Toyota customer as long as the offerings are as good or better than what is currently out there!

RAV4 for Life

We were rear-ended in our 2003 RAV4 and the insurance company totaled it. This made me very sad. I was not ready to give up my car. My RAV4 had so much life left! We needed a new vehicle and decided on another Toyota. We finally decided on another RAV4. It's completely different from my 2003 model, but I am getting used to it. It such a great ride, the safety ratings are pronominal, and there's much more room and bells a whistles too! Not to mention it fits our needs perfectly. I am looking forward to the next 15 years with my new RAV4!

Never had an issue with any of my Toyotas

Nice, but dont fall for the warranty scam, these cars do not need a warranty for a number of years! Ive owned them most of my life and im past 60 years. Never used the basic warranty, let alone paying top dollar for ANY extended warranties when first purchased! waste of much needed money!I fell for the warranty scam once, but never again!

n/aaaaa

I really like the vehicle however the interior design could be better. Looking at other Rav4 vehicles the interiors could be much better the 2 tone gray with black is very ugly. It would be better with just one color on the seats

2018 Rav 4, Absolutely love it!

I love the way my Rav 4 drives. I love that my teenagers have plenty of leg room in the back seat. My son is almost 6 foot. My favorite thing is the red stitching on the interior.

Sporty and practical but with some nice bells and

I bought the new RAV4 Adventure. I love the new sporty styling . The rubber mats are perfect for my dog and easy to clean. There are lots of safety and convenience features. It has a lot more zip than my husband's Prius and gets a lot better gas mileage than my previous Sequoia.

Love my new car

Love my new 2018 RAV4! It is very spacious and drives smoothly. If you are in the Baton Rouge area, head over to Price LEBLANC Toyota. Our sales consultant Brett Robertson was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. He took the time to show us all the details of the vehicle we were interested in. When I noticed that the one that I had chosen had a scratch on the side, he had another one brought over from Houston. It arrived less than 24 hours later! He is very conscientious about his job, and we had a very good experience with him. He ordered some moulding that I wanted to add to the car and it looks great!

Best ride in small SUV and great gas mileage

A great car for my needs, retired traveling, with plenty of leg room and comfort. Great car for grandkids to travel with us to beach!
