Can't wait to take a day trip

Never had a hybrid before. It sounds very economical. Back seat had plenty of leg room. The instrumentation is easily located for little distraction. Love the heated leather seats , as always.

Love the hybrid!

This car is great for driving in town and on the highway. Super quiet and great gas mileage. Love the blind spot indicators and backup camera. My only complaint is the Scout GPS system. It is irritating and difficult to use. Thought I should have gotten integrated GPS for the cost.

Upgrade in features from 2015

I am looking forward to saving on gas expense and enjoying the new features which I am still learning about. The ride is great and I hope to have many good years of driving.

Only drove it 550 miles so far

We owned a Prius before this car. We used to get 50 or so mpg on the Prius. My son owns a 3018 RAV4 gas model and gets about 31mpg. We currently are getting 32 around local driving and we initially got 37 on the first tank which was mostly highway driving. We got all the bells and whistles. Learning how to use them is ongoing. Some very useful features. Much more room and a great deal more power than the Prius. Too early to tell how good it is.

Great but not perfect.

I wanted a new hybrid SUV and the RAV4 met most of my criteria. Just disappointed in a few physical details: no cd player, back does not lie flat when rear seats are down, dashboard a bit complicated. However, the car handles beautifully.

Most gas efficient car at over 34 mpg in the city

Very quiet and smoothly running car I ever owned and the acceleration was quick and smooth. For a suv it as very limited road noise.

Been a Toyota fan for over 20 years

My wife and I have enjoyed Toyota vehicles both for business and for pleasure for over 20 years . Our trade in was a 2010 Prius that had given us eight years of no service problems and unlimited joy.

Our 3rd RAV

We have had a 2013 & 2015 RAV4. This is our first hybrid and so far we love it. We are a long time Toyota customer and have had trucks, vans, & cars going back 40+ years.
