Rav4 vs Rogue

The biggest disappointment with the RAV4 driver position is that I can’t adjust for normal driving. I don’t even want to feel comfortable at least safe. My right leg and foot is so uncomfortable, it numb, the knee is pressed and hurts. The muscles are tense. The RAV4 seat has a lot of adjustment but nothing works. They had the acceleration pedal got stack problem once, and they put it so high from the bottom and also made the bottom incline, and cut the bottom half of the pedal making it so small; the feet is in terrible position , the position is breaking the feet. If I knew this issue I would take Rogue or may be CRV.

312000 miles, body was in great shape until a deer hit it a month ago. Burns no oil. Insurance totalled it because of repair costs. We bought it from them, they sent us a check for the difference and it is still very roadworthy. Love this car.

The ONE Car That Will Last Me Forever!

Going 150,000 Miles without any major problems- just the routine oil change, tire rotations and wear and tear. I've had to replace the tires a second time after driving about 60000 miles this year. The engine runs great and with the pickup you cant tell this is 4 cylinder engine. The gas mileage I get is pretty decent at 23/mpg could be better but given that this is a bigger car than your average sedan. One other thing to note is the JBL speakers are truly enhanced if you were to get a professional to upgrade your sound system with a radio that supports Android Auto/Apple Carplay. This will be a hand me down once my first grader gets to High School... These Toyotas last forever! Ever heard that before?

What's with RAV4 and tires

I've been driving a RAV4 for the past 9 years and I've noticed that my only problem is with the tires. I don't know if I'm alone on this one but the tires seem to develop issues with time and usage. It's the shock today, bearing tomorrow, tyroid next, just something on the tire. Apart from this, great car!
