Barely average

2013 Toyota RAV4 LE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I have owned the RAV for about one year. I bought it based on previous experience with Toyota vehicles and a good trade-in offer I got from my dealer for my previous car - my net-out-of-pocket on the RAV was ~$2-3k less than other comparable CUVs. After one year of ownership the best I can rate this car is "average". The only real positive is the amount of cargo and passenger space. In every other area the car falls short, especially comparing to competition. It's noisy, has a very stiff and uncomfortable suspension, safety ratings are mediocre (below key competitors), transmission behavior is strange and disconcerting, mileage is OK but not outstanding. Bottom line - just average.
softex seats

my ratings for the vehicle are based heavily on what I believe to be inferior seats for the extra money that is paid for the limited. there is a big price jump from the ex-l to limited and they try to justify some of it with the softex seats. if you are want good quality leather seats, these will fall way short. when you are doing test drives, pay particular attention to how the seat feels. compare it to the leather seats in the Honda crv or mazda cx-5. you will feel the difference. if seat comfort is not that important to you and you don't mind spending the extra $3000 for limited, then you can disregard this review.

Darkened Dashboard/Speedometer

The dashboard/speedometer is set back into a tunnel. In any other car when you turn the ignition key on the dashboard/speedometer illuminate. Not the case in the RAV4. It stays dark. So dark, that when you are driving downa tree lined street or on a cloudy day, its almost impossible to see the speedometer. This is a design flaw in the vehicle. I have to turn my night time lights on during the day to see the speedometer clearly. A very dangerous situation! I have tried talking to corporate in California and they will not do anything about this problem. I have not contacted the BBB, The Dept. Of Consumer Affairs and the Attorney Generals office.
Great economical and comfortable car

I purchased this vehicle a year ago with approximately 80k miles. I have since put on another 20k miles, just surpassing 100k overall. I have had no non-standard repair during this time. Overall, the vehicle is comfortable, with balanced drive, steering and handling. The powertrain is adequate. I am using Eco mode and achieve an impressive 27.7 MPG overall. I am very pleased with my RAV4. I have the space I need. It's comfortable and capable for nearly all situations, even traveling and it is inexpensive to drive.

Wondering about your RAV 4

First off let me say that Toyota make pretty durable vehicles, this is my second one and the first one ran until the 250,000 mark. I bought my 2013 RAV4 XLE at my local Toyota dealership and was impressed by the design and interior; both really well done.I have two kids and this vehicle really has the space to pack around the family on vacations and your day to day travel. All in all the only complaint I have is, I wish the RAV4 had a little more power, when you put this vehicle in sport mode it feels like it has more acceleration and is much more responsive on the gas. If you prefer to save more gas then the ECO mode is great just you can feel the vehicle bog down. Town and short trips I suggest the sports mode, long travel eco will allow you to pass at least one more gas station if you had it in sports mode on the highway.
