Loud and Choppy Transmission

My first Toyota gave me no problems for 20 years this one has given me two recalls in a major service issue in less than 18 months.

Had several Toyotas, always reliable & dependable.

Instrument panel cumbersome & ride is not comfortable. Dependable & great gas mileage. Panel readout is distracting & looks odd. But would buy RAV again!

The road noise is very irritating on high driving.

I bought Toyota because of their insistence that safety features are not a luxury option, and, also, I wanted reliability. We bought the Custom model and except for road noise, we are quite happy with it. That said, the road noise IS a big deal if your on a long high speed drive.

Toyota Review

The car is O K -- owned it 3 weeks . I am disappointed in the lack of the Car Apple Play -- doesn't give you enough direction & lacks basic information like the name of streets you are passing and even the road you are on. No compass -- you would think that Toyota with car apple play would have a compass so you know what direction your going.. Lastly , doesn't give you the speeed limit when you are driving until a posted sign appears along the road your on, Really need it MUCH sooner than that. Why isn't it there as soon as you dive away? Expected more from Toyota -- too much not on the car that should be !!!!!

I use to love my Rav4

Pros...Looks improved with the 2019 redesign. The screen is larger and easier to read. Cons...the floor board was raised but the headroom stayed the same. I am only 5’3” and have to duck to get in the car. The engine, tranny changed and it’s horrible. It’s a rough stiff ride and the engine is so loud now and the ride is jerky. We were given a $3,000 (as per dealers words) update to fix this known problem. The free fix did nothing. The car sounds and feels like it’s struggling to keep up with itself. This ride is the worst I’ve ever had and I’m a senior citizen. Toyota, please quit trying to save money and messing with things that were great features! I wish I could get my 2015 RAV4 back. It was quiet and awesome!

Proud to be driving a Rav 4.

Enjoying the sleek, sporty modern style of the Rav 4. Happy to use regular gas for the savings. I use the roomy back area for transporting cumbersome items .

Full Optioned Price; Many Options Missing

Bought a Limited Hybrid. No TPMS. Driver memory option poor. Power passenger seat poor. Simply not equipped as a high end optioned car should be.

Great car

I did a lot of research on small to mid size SUV and the Rav was always in the top ten for reliability looks and maintenance cost.

Great vehicle

I love my RAV4. It’s comfortable and extremely reliable. I use the ECO Mode and save a lot of money in gas. It’s also super quiet in the highway.
