Good buy

We bought the rav4 hybrid about a month ago and we have put close to 1500 miles on it. If you commute to work, and live in a city, get the hybrid. We get nearly 40mpg sitting in traffic, and we even went on a few hundred mile road trip, and got about 35mpg. The interior is very roomy. We have 2 young children, and I can still sit in between them. It's well worth the purchase to get the hybrid.

To early to tell as I have owned several Hondas

Great value for all the features including the Nav system,auto rear door entry, could use more pockets in rar for small storage items as well as handier storage for sunglasses up front. Fog lights should be able to be on w/o headlights. Great cruise control and very safe. With car on regular not Eco the car truly gets 33 to 34 mpg in town and 29 to 30mpg on the hwy.

Comfortable, practical, stylish!

I downsized from a Highlander Hybrid. The Rav4 Hybrid is every bit as comfortable and reliable with better gas mileage.

Fun, zippy little car

I loved it! It was cute, fun, and had Toyota reliability. It was the first hybrid I ever drove and I was surprised. I expected it to be sluggish but it had pep. There was plenty of room in the back for a car this size. It had some cool features such as a coffee cup pops up if you leave your lane too much (indicating you might be tired). The only thing about it I didn?t like was the headrests. I need neck support and there was none. I drive a Toyota Tacoma and the head rests offer support. This was the reason I did not purchase it. However, I later found out that there are car neck pillows but it was too late. I had already purchased a different car.

Love, just love this vehicle

I would love this vehicle! It is my favorite car that I would die to own!!!! I have researched this car, and there isn?t anything that I do not like. I would be a satisfied owner. Although, I am retired on SS, I can not afford it, sad to say!

My new favorite car!

I?ve had a lot of different vehicles and my rav4 is by far the best. I traded in my 2016 4Runner to get something more gas efficient. I have not been disappointed! My rav4 has a lot more pep than the 4Runner and is really fun to drive. I love all the new technology although learning to use the cruise control has been a little different. But once I got used to it, I feel much safer driving this car than any previous vehicle. I used to have a CRV and this is very similar. Fairly smooth ride for a small SUV, but still has plenty of room. I easily fit a new 47 inch tv in the back. I highly recommend!! Also, I have been averaging 33 mpg! Can?t beat it! And I opted for AWD since I have family near Chicago. There was a ?blizzard? for Arkansas two weeks after I bought the rav4 and it handled snow perfect.

Hybrid Heaven

We love our hybrid Toyota RAV4. We have always wanted to purchase a hybrid vehicle but were waiting for the improvement of the hybrid engines. This is a fourth generation Toyota hybrid and we are pleased with it.
