Car only on week old but it was worth the wait. Ordered last August. Great ride, mileage and sound system.

Terrible radio; lower quality Toyota than expected

The radio interface is something out of the 1990's. Cumbersome and very annoying when it takes 30-60 seconds for the system to connect with the radio. Annoying when Apple CarPlay overrides radio but that seems to be the case with other brand names as well. Rear seat protectors on back-side of seats are worthless. The velcro never stays attached. Might seem like minor issues but the overall quality is just not there on this vehicle. I do have some buyer's remorse. For paying so much for this vehicle Ron Tonkin Toyota was terrible with follow-through on customer satisfaction. Not impressed.

2023 RAV4 Driver legroom is too short!

I tried 2022 and 2023 models, several trim lines, I'm 6' 1", top of legs rub the steering wheel, bottom of thighs won't rest on seat, no matter how far back I adjust the seat. Results in cramped legs and hip pain on long trips. Driver legroom only rated at 41", that's ridiculous. I need at least 43" legroom. Wanted the RAV4 but will have to pick something else like the Subaru Outback, I fit in that vehicle.

Top Notch Toyota

I bought this car in March of 2023. It’s now May of 2024. I’ve only filled it up twice to this point. I plug it in to regular outlet in my garage and next morning I have between 40 and 50 new electric miles. And when I do fill with gas I have around 500 plus total miles to go. Love it and all the extras that come with it.

Horrific ride quality.

For a vehicle with a boat load of batteries for sprung mass, it rides like it has cardboard suspension. You feel every bump through your spine, with its stiff, crashy damping, every dip, hump and kink unsettles you in the seat making for a terrible vehicle to have the displeasure of being a passenger. The steering seems to jerk across the road instead of initiating a turn smoothly, coupled with the ride, you quickly wonder if your breakfast will stay put or not. I have a well driven 2000s BMW that far and away exceeds the ride quality of this thing.

Prefer the CR-V over Rav Prime even though the Toyota has and insane 0-100 time.

Unsafe plug heater

The spring lid on the female heater is not sealing properly allowing snow to accumulate inside. .Difficult to clean in cold temperatures. Using de-icer spray will cause a fire if one plugs in the male end.
