Used 2012 Toyota RAV4 4dr SUV 4WD (2.5L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
One of the best in class
Thought it was only fair that I write one on these since, I have read so many. I bought my rav4 pre owned and certified. It has been a very good suv. It has surprisingly good pick up for a 4cyl. I have no problems with the family in the car passing others on the road when needed. I have had knock on wood no problems in over a year of ownership. The back seats are comfortable and recline. The front seats are comfortable as well. It is ok in the snow not a 4 wheel drive jeep but it gets the job done like most awd vehicles.

Great vehicle but poor 4 wheel drive
I put about 135000 miles on this vehicle in 6.5 years. It is a good ride and works fine on the highway. The 4 wheel drive however was not what I expected. It did not handle the deep (14 inch) snow drift in in my drive way this past winter. and left me stuck in several logging paths that my old Chevy Silverado 1500 would not have. I did not expect the same power from the RAV4 due to the clearance but the wheels did not lock together and the one with the least traction tended to spin.I would not buy another one with 4 wheel drive. I did like the vehicle and would recommend it for highway use.

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!

Ravishing Rav4
2012 does not have backup cameras, but I never had them so don't miss them. It was a great buy and value. So far, so good. Many months, still a terrific car.
