Love everything about my RAV

This car! Quiet ride, superb handling, hugs the road. Comfort? I?m 5?6? and the seats are perfect. The reach to controls is easy. The pickup provided by EV boost makes it fun and safe. Speedy yet quiet. Lots of room for car seats- which were clearly simple and safe to install (not what some internet sites said at all. Hookups are convenient and obvious.) I love the Bluetooth setup! This car is fantastic.

Love this vehicle

Car met all my needs and my family loves it. Worth the money. I traded my Camry and worried I'd regret it, but I'm enjoying every day.

Not bad for an small SUV

Even though my RAV 4 is top of the line, the interior lacks the refinement of my Avalon or my Camry. It handles well on the highway and on local roads and like so many Toyotas, it seems reliable.

Excellent reliable car

The car met all of my expectations except one. Toyota does not allow Google Auto or Apple Car Play. The GPS that is allowed for use on the dashboard is inferior. It will get you lost. Trust me.

LOVE MY TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID!!

Love this vehicle!! Feels so tight and built great!! Everything in this vehicle is really well made. Feels really solid! I had a hybrid before and sold it and got just a gas vehicle. Missed my hybrid and wanted something higher off the ground.

smooth mostly !

I recently hired a Toyota Rav 4 Hibrid to drive 5 people from surrey to Wigan and back , my wife and i in the front , and two two girls and a bloke in the back , they said they were squashed together , personally i found the drivers seat unsupportive which gave me back and right thigh ache it reminded of driving an old car where the seats were well worn , and this was a new car ! The ride over a smooth road was good but, oh dear this is Britain remember, this car crashes and bangs over really not much at all and the road noise was unbelievable , it felt as if there were no rubber mountings between body and suspension ,also when breaking you could feel every vibration through the break peddle . I thought overall this was a likable car , performance was ok and so was economy and plenty of room in the rear luggage area , i don't like cvt gearboxes ( who dose ) ! i would buy one if Toyota sorted the seating , and suspension issues .
