hate my new rav4

being my first new car I should think I'd love it, or at least like it, but I hate this thing. It is too cramped feeling inside, the cup holders are ridiculously worthless and out of reach, it's such a stripped down model I can't believe I paid what I did for this. I have always driven luxury-level cars which seem to be a thing of the past, but this is bottom of the barrell in my view and I can't wait until I can get rid of it. this will not be good when I go on cross-country trips and won't be able to have a cup of ice water or tea close at hand

Toyota has a lot of nerve classifying this as a 4WD

Love the dealer. Hate this "SUV". I live in the northeast; I've always owned a 4WD to insure mobility in the winter months. This vehicle does not fit that bill, in the least. If you need a vehicle that needs to be functional and not just cute, find something else.

Love my Rav 4 2011 V6 SUV bought it used at 103,000 miles. I have owned it for three years and did repairs that were needed but for a 2011 everything works.

Pretty happy with it overall

Purchased in December, 2020 with ~56k on it. V6 has great acceleration. I'm averaging about 22 MPG in mixed highway and city driving. Average 24 MPG during long highway drives. Only annoyance is the rearview camera isn't working, this seems to be a problem for this model year. The wiring inside the back door needs to be repaired. Other than that, very happy with it. TONS of space inside when using the space under the rear floor.

My Third Rav4

Toyota makes reliable cars, but nothing is perfect. I've had to replace axles, struts, replace valve cover gaskets, and the usual wear items. When a vehicle gets to 120k and over, you have to expect such things. But compared to all the other smaller SUV's, these have the least problems overall. These Rav4's are my wife's choice, and she likes them a lot. And believe me, I'd hear about it if she didn't. And yes, I like them too.
