Not as good as U think

Rough suspension and way too much road noise. Getting in and out will be more difficult for tall or long legged people as you sit very low even with drivers seat elevated. Radio is probably the best part of this vehicle as it has lots of tunable settings and good volume for those who like it loud. Windows fog up bad and take too long to clear when parked. Does not heat up fast like a V-8 does. Gas mileage is about half what is advertised and that is not good. Overall I couldn't get to a good review on this. 3.5/5 at best.

Love our Rav!!

Virtually nothing has gone wrong with my 2020 RAV4. I have a small bit of buyer remorse, because wear hearing aids and there is a lot of road noise in my Rav. The Venza model turns out to be more luxurious and is much quieter. But, it has trade offs, as well. I might have gone with that, had I known. But the Rav is a great vehicle, no actual regrets. Lots of power when one needs it. And the breaking system kept me out of an accident, several months ago, the brakes went on when someone pulled out in front of me from a side road. I was not looking in that direction, and never would have braked soon enough. We recently went on a road trip from Washington state to Southern California and we’re delighted when we got 42 MPG. Great car, no regrets, maybe I’ll take it somewhere for some soundproofing.

Old is gold, very reliable

I inherited this car from my grandmother, she bought it new in 2000 and barely ever drove it, so it was in great condition when I ended up getting it back in 2014. I've put about 50,000 miles on it between work, high school, and college. I love this little car, it's never given me an issue and is more reliable than some of my friends' cars from 2010 or newer. The interior leaves a bit to be desired; it's comfortable but the design of the dashboard isn't great and the cupholders are basically useless and get in the way of the gear changer. Well, back in y2k drinks weren't as big as they are now so I can hardly blame them, but it does still suck when I go to put my car in park and the stick won't even go all the way forward because my water bottle is blocking it. The paint coat was excellent and has only just recently (about 2019ish) began to oxidize and peel its topcoat. The SUV style isn't for everyone, but I like roomy, boxy cars like this one. One thing I REALLY appreciate is how quickly the AC and heating kick in. Being from south California, I need the AC to come on as quickly as possible in the hot summer, and my RAV4 is cooled down by the time I leave my driveway. This car has 129,000 miles on it, and I think I can take it for another 80,000 at least. It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of a newer car with heated seats and electric door locks, but for its time it is more than a wonderful car, and I'll be sticking with Toyota for my next car as well.

A reliable car that's made very well

I enjoy the car, going on long trips to Connecticut to visit my grandchildren never have to worry, I have told my friends about the RAV4 and two of them have bought it and are very happy

most reliable car I've owned

This is the second Toyota I have owned. the first one being a 1989 Camry. it was my favorite car I have owned until now. I love Toyotas. they are reliable and comfortable. this car is no different, with the added bonus of being modern and having all the cool technology. I don't know how I lived with out Apple Car Play, before now. its a game changer. the seats in my 2020 XLE are what sold me. they are cloth and super comfortable. there is space for our family of four, without feeling like I am driving a bus. This SUV is perfect for us!

Very Comfortable, smooth ride, and rekuable

I like sitting up higher and having a better view of the rode. It has comfortable seating and an easy to manage control panel. It is economical in terms of gas and oil

I'm always be happy to have a Toyota as my car

For me , Toyota is the most best of the cars everyone should have for their family. it's an economic car , it saves fuel and it's a fighter vehicle.
