Problems from the start

Overall, I like the car. It is attractive and rides fairly well for an SUV though it can be a bit clunky when accelerating. What I don't like is that the car is over-engineered and has to communicate with Toyota constantly. The communication module in mine is malfunctioning requiring a major repair to fix. Not happy with that part

Ready to buy after test drive.

Spent a couple hours with an Adventure trim today. I can’t speak for the other trims, but I feel like the over all fit and features, on top of expected reliability make this a good deal. At around $33k+ for the Adventure trim, it is on the slightly pricey side, but the standard safety features and torque vectoring AWD, on top of the sporty, tough and functional interior design are worth it. If I can convince my wife and get a good deal with the local dealer, we will be in one of these as soon as possible.

Safety, Reliability, and Luxury at a Fair Price

I have bought 4 Toyota cars (Tercel, Corolla, and Camry) and finally decided to join the cross-over/SUV bandwagon. My new RAV4 is futuristically yet handsomely stylish. The XLE premium trim provides the pampering convenient features such as automatic hatch, driver seat, blind spot monitoring, rear camera, dynamic cruise control and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. It’s like driving a Lexus RX 350 but paying $25,000 less.

2019 RAV4 Limited FWD

After waiting so long for this new model, I’m sorry to be so disappointed. The transmission (8 speed automatic) is terrible. It can’t decide what gear it wants to be in at slower speeds and clunks so loudly, you think something may be falling off. Apple play also didn’t work properly for the 5 weeks I owned this vehicle. After the second time in for service that lasted 3 days in the service department at the dealership, both problems still existed.

My first SUV purchase

This car has everything I was looking for XLE package has well worth it additions. Plenty of headroom , leg room and cargo space. Rear seats had adjustable tilt which makes for a cozy ride. I had previously read reviews prior to purchase where people complained of loud engine noise in the cabin, I don’t particularly notice anything more than my previous corolla had. Interior is streamline and overall basic but the heated seats and enfotainment system are perfect. The fuel mileage is excellent, it’s the same I was getting in my Toyota Corolla currently average 27Mpg in the city.

I'm actually shocked

First and foremost I actually love the SUV! I didnt think I would maybe more of a like. I wanted a Jeep but who knew the Rav4 is everything I need. Even had my brother purchase one 4 days later...
