Raves 4 RAV4

My wife, 2 dogs (German Shepherd and Rottweiler), and I needed a car that could carry us all on trips in comfort and with good gas mileage. The RAV4 seemed to fit the bill. In actuality, it more than fits our needs. We do not need super power on the highway, but the RAV4 is quick and does not have the usual 4- cyl engine noise at highway speeds. MPG is a solid 27 average for us. Fit and finish are great. This base FWD model is perfect for our situation. We could not be happier with this car.
Best Small SUV

Quiet, smooth, powerful - excellent fit and finish inside and out. Evaluated all other small SUVs on the market and none really came close. Far and away the best engine. Amazing interior capacity. Averaging 25 mpg combined city/highway driving.

Blind spots, not for we shorter drivers. No power seats. MPG isn't great. Not much space for groceries. DO like the side opening back hatch. Salesman said the 2019 model lifts up to protect me from the rain. WHAT???!!! Told him that I have to WALK in the rain to get to the car. Duh.

Irritating issues make this a 6.0

This is my first Toyota, after years of Ford ownership. I'll be going back to Ford as their build quality and value for money are better. I like the fuel economy, load capacity and power, but the body styling is awful, the radio is tinny and cheap, the tires didn't last and the traction control is absolutely awful - when all four wheels are spinning (like when you're stuck in snow), the TC cuts power to the engine meaning you can't "bully" your way out of the snow. I need chains to get out of my own driveway! My Ford Escape had no problems at all in the snow. Overall this gets a 6.0 and I'll not look at Toyota again.
The perfect Car

It is an awesome car.. not too big , not too small. it is perfect. I love my car.. I was able to fit a twin box spring by folding up the back seat.. It is reliable, sturdy.. I have bought mine back in 2013 and have had it since then ..Not one regret. it is the perfect car for me and suits my needs, especially since I have been driving a whole lot in the past years for work. thank you 5/8/2023: my perfect car remains the perfect car. Even 10 years later, my 2008 Toyota RAV4 has continued to be there for me. Of course, I have made sure to service her twice a year or as needed including changing parts as requested by the Toyota service department. This car remains my favorite one because of how well everything was made and function no matter the weather. Thank you.
