Poor under body design

We traded our 08Rav4 in for the 2013 Rav4 We live in Upper Michigan where we get a lot of snow AND under the doors (including the back door)the snow & ice collects and then it melts off in our garage creating a huge mess! When you open the doors you can see the accumulation! This is a real problem and had we knew this before ... we would have gotten a different brand vehicle. Our old Rav did not do this. Perhaps Toyota should re design the doors and eliminate this problem
Rock hard seats, rough ride

The seats are like sitting on a 1 x 4 piece of wood. Zero thigh support and it kept feeling like I was sliding forward. The suspension is extremely stiff and you will feel every bump in the road (even the ones you do not see). After a 600 mile trip to Florida, my back was in pain for 3 days. In fact I always feel pain even after an hour of driving it. It is a beautiful SUV for sure... but it is like my last marriage.... I was fooled by my ex wife's good looks, and I endured a rough and punishing several years. Today I traded it in for a used 2010 Lexus ES 350 for the exact same price I paid for the 2013 RAV4..... Night and day smoothness!! And the soft seat cradles me like a baby. Never a Toyota again.

5000 miles and very disappointed

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

For starters ... I rushed to upgrade from a 2011 Rav4 model I loved to a 2013 model I don't like very much. After 5000 miles of city and highway, this SUV consistently disappoints. While many overall improvements have been made as listed in great details throughout the other reviews, the fundamental issues are the power/train. combo and also the tire change up in this new model. This is not a fund vehicle to drive (unlike the 2011 model). The car feels sluggish, hesitant and often puzzled as if it doesn't know what gear to go into and when (automatic version and AWD).

bought new on 4/22...with only 500 miles on the odometer,car quit running while i was driving down the highway...felt like engine was revving up but car was not shifting into higher gear properly..freaked me out! had it towed to dealership and am waiting on a diagnosis...i am bitterly disappointed and wish i had bought a ford escape....NOTHING should go wrong with a vehicle that has only been driven 500 miles! now im stuck with a car that i will NEVER feel secure in.
Get the CR-V

I got the front wheel drive Limited. This was a replacement for my 2008 Honda CR-V. I've always been a Honda customer. I thought I'd try the Toyota after seeing a brand new exterior and the spare tire is no longer visible in the back. I've had it only for a little over a month. Although it is nice to look at (exterior and interior), you can tell it is the cheaper version of the CR-V. The handling feels like a toy car. The ride is also bumpier. The "leatherette" I am sure will wear off much faster than a leather. It also stains very easily especially if oil based. Even pens stain and is very hard to remove. Also not as good visibility. Women will find the CR-V much easier to drive
