Good but not good
Listen, I love my Totoyta Rav 4 limited. It drives nice, comfortable nice features.. but I can't get past the tailgate. ITS AWFUL. I bought it used last year, everything seemed great, then my tailgate had issues opening. I got my car in December, live in Canada, so I thought maybe it's just too cold for it to work properly. Wrong. I didn't even have it for 2 months and I was having issues and they have yet to be resolved with any resolution in sight. Took it to the dealership, they said basically all I could do was grease it up and clean it. Huh? There isn't function to turn it off but it still doesn't open properly which is really annoying. I wish there was the option for it to open just like a regular trunk. The same day I was at the dealership a lady had the same issue with her car but it wasn't even closing or opening. How isn't this addressed when it's the main issue with this year's make. I am not very happy about it. Anyways just something to think about. The feature is nice when it works. Which is never

Top of the line RAV4 not impressed
I have a 2014 Rav 4 AWD Limited. For what I payed for this SUV I was not impressed with the interior. It is cheaply done. It took me three weeks to decide if I wanted it. My last 2 vehicles were Acura, so you cannot put these two side by side. The RAV4 gas mileage in the city is about 16-17mph. I don't believe their numbers they have listed anyway. I got to really appreciate the softex interior. I always had leather but as we all know it cracks etc. this softex looks like I just drove off the lot with this SUV. This was very smart of Toyota to put this in their RAV4. I never had a problem at all with the interior. I love the RAV4 but if I had my choice I buy the Acura. Nice little truck but it's not an Acura. Just like the Lexus IS like a Rav. I owned a Lexus and they do not compare to the RAV4 even a little.

Great Trade
I traded my 2011 Dodge (Lemon) Journey with 7 months remaining on that lease for this SUV. Leased this RAV4 for 36 months and so far I couldn't be happier. I was concerned this SUV might be under powered with the 4 cyl especially after having 6 cyl for my last few vehicles. That concern was removed as my wife and I have just returned from driving 4750 mile vacation and the 4cyl was unbelievably great. Not only did I have enough power for cruising the interstates I was able to pass vehicles on two lane roads with no problem at all. Gas mileage was always between 28 & 32 MPG depending on conditions.
2011 RAV is nicer than the 2013
I love the storage in my 2011 RAV but they took it all away when they took the tire off the back. They took away drink holders, tightened the door pockets, replaced the locking glove box with the sliding second glove box with a non-locking glove box, and eliminated the shelf in the console. All of these features help me keep my car tidy. I will be very disappointed when I am forced to give them up. The 2013 seems to be a safer vehicle, but it isn't fun to drive anymore.

Road noise
I drove a 2013 Rave 4 with 21000 miles on the suv. This vehicle had the worst road noise that I have ever experienced. If your seriously considering a Rave 4 I suggest that you drive one around the block first.
