I commute from the SF Bay Area to Sacramento,70 miles each way. The stretch of freeway is rough & you feel every bump in the road. The seats are stiff and not enough thigh support. I had to get the brakes replaced at 40k with almost all freeway driving, not stop & go. The car sometimes doesn't start immediately (since purchase) and what I hate most is you can't get the key out of the ignition without moving the gear shift in park back & forth. The dealer says NOTHING WRONG... It had a major oil leak (covered w/power train) air noise from windshield, and rear door. rattles if not on a completely smooth surface. Needs torque & power to rear wheels in turns, & quick acceleration r feels unstable
4wd not much in the snow

This is the first 4WD for me. I wanted it for Colorado winters. We had our first major storm and I got stuck twice on paved roads. I reread the owners manual because I thought I might be doing something wrong.

I've had my RAV4 now for 3 months. Overall getting 23.5 MPG consistent around my area, with little highway. Haven't had a trip yet, but when mostly highway, some local, only getting 25 MPG, so a dissapointment. Understand V6 doing as well or better so i should have opted for it.Ordered body side molding, not sure why cars dropping this. Painted same color and actually improves appearance. Getting some hesitation when accelerating and twice felt like system wasn't getting fuel or stuck in a gear. Toyota says hesitation normal, but in 2 instances i'd say problem. Just giving my personal experiences so far.
Disappointed

Ride is smooth and cargo area is roomy. I had a 1999 rav4 full option. I'm sorry to say this but it is better than this 2006 rav4 I got 6 months ago. Metal quality is poorer, easily dented, too light, I can even feel the wind from other cars passing by on the highway. The spare tire cover is almost impossible to put back on. Dashboard is plain. Standard options on other cars are not on basic rav4s, only higher options, even safety features. 1999 model was better.... I'll never go for a Toyota again
