This is my Third Rav4 to lease and at no time did I ever have any trouble with any of the three vehicles. One problem I have had, since I am short, I have a blind spot on rt. hand side of rav4 and had to be very careful when moving to outside lane as I cannot see a car that is moving beside me about even with back door. I still love the rav4 and will continue to drive one as long as I drive. Avery reliable vehickle
Great vehicle!

Purchased this car in 2018. I only have good things to say about it. At the time of purchase, it had about 215,000 kilometers on the engine. With regular maintenance (oil change, brake replacement, etc) I had no big issues during the time I owned it. I sold it in late 2020 due to COVID with about 240,000 kilometers on the odometer. I went on plenty of camping trips, a few road trips, and took this up to a ski resort on a couple of occasions. The 4X4 came in handy. This car is very reliable and will not quit no matter what kind of conditions you are driving in. I was genuinely a little sad when it came time for me to sell it. I can't comment on the newer RAV4 models but I would definitely recommend this one.

I have my RAV4 for almost 2 yrs now. It's been wonderful so far. 5 speed is a blast to drive, mileage has been between 25 and 28 (city). No problems so far (touch wood). The stock tires are not the best in snow but TC and VSC overcomes the problem. Lots of room after removing back seats.
Replace water pump!

Bought my Rav4 brand new in 2004 which is a 2005. Have had no major problems with it except for replacing the water pumps constantly! They are made very cheap, and its not cheap to replace either. And rear breaks are for sure bad as well like previous reviews have stated. Also, when it rains the car does not stay put on the road.
