Poor MPG

Biggest problem is poor MPG. Bought becuase of the published MPG range. Actual MPG is consistently on the low end. We live in flat Florida. Most driving is rural and occassional light city traffic. 3rd row seet is soo cramped my 6 & 9 year-olds have to sit sideways, if any-one is sitting in 2nd row. Took to dealership (Deluca) to have MPG checked. Service lady treated us like were idiots and later lied to us about how they checked to see if there was any issue (told us a mechanic drove it of 30 minutes continuously at 35mph and MPG was 28MPG). Impossible test. Wish we had bought the Durango or the CRV. Will trade this off soon! (Previoulsly loved our Corolla!)

I bought this RAV4 for Toyota quality. I wanted a quality, V6 , 4x4 small SUV. Overall, I am satisfied so far. (I just got the base model-keep in mind). Acceleration and power is great. Ride could be better, but not bad. Terrible air vibrations when driving with rear windows down (my Liberty did same thing?) Overall interior and exterior functionality is really good. Except...Toyota, this SUV needs a flip-up rear hatch! V6 engine is a little loud for a new Toyota...could be the upgraded alternator. Gas mileage is good...24.2 mpg average...about 28 hwy driving conservatively. Hopefully will increase with synth. oil next month. Overall...7 out of 10 stars so far.

If you're looking for a SUV that handles and drives like a sports car, this is your whip.

Wow...I love my Rav, even with the old style swing out rear door, its a cool factor and I have the space under the rear floor that is perfect for groceries! Very dependable and nimble around town vehicle, there's just not much to not like about it. I purchased mine used with about 52K miles from the second owner who I knew. They were purchasing a new 2017. It was purchased new and serviced from our local Toyota Dealer exclusively and they had all the service records from day/mile one. Over the now eight year history it has never missed a service interval. I purchased the vehicle in October 2016 (cash) and have only replaced the battery, had a break job and just put on new tires at this last service interval at 89K miles. That's it folks...nothing else has been done to it and it gets around 26 mpg consistently. At eight years old it has a few battle scars...what eight year old car doesn't have shopping cart or door dings?! When my friend gets ready to trade that 2017...I told him to call me!
