Love my RAV4
By ColoradoMom on 4/10/2026 12:04:30 AM
I will only buy Toyota because they are great long lasting vehicles. We have used our RAV4 to travel, camp and its my day to day car. It's great! - 5.0
Good vehiclr
By Jim on 3/12/2026 9:48:08 PM
For an eleven year old vehicle it runs great. All options still work well. Both the interior and exterior have worn well. The engine runs smoothly but has been maintained as suggested with regular oil changes. Gets good gas mileage and uses regular gas. There is some road noise and rides a little rough over bumps. Overall it is a great vehicle! - 4.0
Too many bells and whistles for my taste
By Simple tastes on 1/13/2026 1:31:21 PM
The RAV4 is a great vehicle, but has this one has 5 things I don't care for: 1) the Hybrid mileage is not that much better than regular battery and it makes horrid noise when starting in cold weather, 2) the leather seats are hot & sweaty in summer and cold in winter, 3) the head-lights automatically flip to high beam, even when behind a car, so they shine in the driver's rearview mirror, 4) there is no CD player, and 5) the cruise slows down when I'm about to pass the vehicle ahead of me on interstate. I hope someone else likes this vehicle, because I do not.
