Thoughts so far...
RSJ, 05/11/2024
2024 Toyota RAV4 XLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 8A)
I traded a Subaru Forester on this 2024 RAV4 XLE gas model. The Subaru was great for about 5 years then began to have multiple expensive repairs so I decided to go back to a more basic Toyota as I approach retirement. I've had this one about a month so cannot comment on long term reliability but Toyotas typically are reliable.
So far, I like this car. Is it exciting? No, but not … meant to be. I wanted a reliable, comfortable, spacious vehicle with the latest safety tech and Apple Car Play but not to go crazy with tech that can fail easily. This XLE has all the bells and whistles I need for a daily driver. The best thing about it so far is the powertrain. The 8-speed automatic transmission is the smoothest I have ever driven! It always seems to know what gear to be in and shifts almost imperceptibly. Toyota has so highly refined this powertrain, its hard to believe when you drive it how perfect it is. Even when driving at low speeds and in stop and go situations, its smooth and does not hunt or seem confused like transmissions often do these days. The engine is also smooth and has enough power in any situation I need. It does get a bit loud when pushed hard but it settles down once it gets back to cruising speed. This car has direct injection and port injection to avoid carbon build up so it switches between both - this is what causes the loud clattering when its in the direct injection mode. If you listen, most newer cars with direct injection are louder, its the nature of this type of engine.
The ride is comfortable and smooth and the handling is predictable and well thought out. The wind and tire noise are a bit high at higher speeds but I think this is due to the factory Toyo "Back Country" tires which are not the quietest tires. So far, the tech works great. Controls are simple and easy to learn. The base 6 speaker stereo is good enough for most of us but if you're an audiophile, you will want the JBL upgrade. I mostly listen to podcasts and satellite radio so its good for me and it handles every day music from my iPhone well as long as you keep it a reasonable volume, it doesn't handle cranking it up high very well - it wasn't meant to. The cargo area is huge and can swallow up a surprising amount of cargo. The backseat has plenty of room for two adults and includes vents and phone chargers as well as an armrest - all nice touches. There are a couple of rattles in the interior when its cold but once its warmed up they go away. The doors seem a tad flimsy but close solidly. This model got good crash ratings so I am assuming its underpinnings are solid. So far I am happy but its new so the jury is out as to how it will hold up over time - Toyota sells these things all over the world and they are still hard to get here in my area, they sell so fast so there must be something good about them!!
But, thank goodness I had a lot of equity in my Forester so I only have a small loan with generous equity from day one on this new Toyota so could easily unload it if it turns out not to be to my liking after a while! Advice, always plan to buy a car with good equity or cash down so you are not in an upside down situation - I did that when younger and its a horrible situation. Since then, I always plan to trade or use cash (or both) to be sure I have equity from the first day in a new car so I will never be "stuck" upside down in one. Plus, Toyota has some of the best resale and residual values in the industry so they are typically a good bet.
I'll update as time goes on....so far so good!
