Our 2011 Toyota RAV4 is just super. We love it.

This 2011 Toyota RAV4 we bought used in 2012 because a young man who bought it new lost his job and couldn't keep up the payments. We saw the vehicle while searching online for a good used vehicle, went to see it and bought it after we drove it. It has been the most trouble free vehicle you can imagine, second only to our 2002 RAV4 which is still running great. Toyotas rule!

I just bought a 2011 RAV, and for me it was a no brainer. I've always had Toyota's -- so maybe I'm biased in that direction -- but the test drives convinced me. I live in the Sierras, so I need a vehicle with high clearance. At first, I wanted a jeep, but driving two of the Liberty's was like driving a car weighed down by boulders. I couldn't believe how sluggish the Liberty was....Then I drove the RAV -- the thing took off like a rocket. It was almost too responsive -- I tapped the pedal and it would lunge forward. And the MPG is almost as good as that of my aging Corolla... It could be that after a while paint chips will fall off, or whatever, as others have said. But I am happy so far.

We bought this car with about 85,000 miles and now it has over 170,000! It had one owner and was babied. It still runs like brand new and I have only had to pay for scheduled maintenance, new batteries, and a few minor recalls which were free of charge, 4 wheel bearings, both coil springs, and breaks. The MPG is exactly what Toyota puts out, and that's with my heavy foot. When going downhill the car will sometimes look for a lower gear, but nothing serious. The V6 engine is unbelievably amazing, it takes off fast! I absolutely love this car and it handles back roads exceptionally! When it finally dies on my family I will not hesitate to buy another!

I traded my Toyota Tacoma for the RAV4. I live all the features, the interior leg room is great, I'm 6' 4" and I have plenty of room. The seats are great, real comfortable. It's real fun to drive. I like most of the features: Sun roof, aux. ports. I would by this vehicle again!

I have driven three different cars and this one takes the cake! I got the V6 which can be a gas hog with a heavy foot in the city. The interstate gets awesome mileage! The engine shifts very smooth and steering is easy, just like butter and will impress you. I live in the Northeast where the winters can be rough and the 4WD is a dream! The car gives you a lot of confidence in snow as well. It handles well on back roads as it does on the interstate and city. If the car ever breaks down I will not switch to another car!
