The lighting for the flat screen display is too weak. It is unreadable in the daytime and very weak at night. The adjustment feature makes no difference. I applied anti-glare film which helps a bit. The hatchback doesn’t close properly. It goes down about six inches, beeps twice and then stops. I have to through this routine three to four times before it closes all the way. I have cleared the door memory per the owners manual but that didn’t solve the problem. I have the keyless entry and ignition feature. Do NOT lose your key chain transponder. It cost me $471 to replace. If you lose both units a new computer must be installed in the car and two new transponders made. That must cost a fortune. Read the troubleshooting chapter in the owners manual. If the transponder battery dies or the thing gets crushed you can still start the engine and run the car. If I were buying another car today I’d get another RAV without question.

love the suv, except for one thing. The transmission tends to "pause" between gears. I brought this problem to the attention of three dealerships, but was "blown off" each time. Finally I got a letter from Toyota extending the warranry on the power train, because of problems with the torque converter on some Rav4s. That hejped, but dealers still will not take any action without charging me for diagnostics. With the extended warr. I am not as worried now, but would still like to have it checked before I end up stranded out in some remote place. UPDATE: Sold the 2013 to an attorney. He took it in to dealership and demanded action on transmission problem. They tested it and confirmed what I had been trying to tell them for over a year. The dealer completed the work at no charge (over $1800.00), even though warrenty was over. It helps to be more forceful (and have a law degree I guess. )

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

Bought this car (XLE with AWD) in 2016 with high miles at the time (81,000). It now has 161,000 mi and it’s as solid, strong, reliable and comfortable as the day I bought it. Plenty of passenger and cargo room. Plenty of power from the 4cyl engine, especially in Sport mode. Great gas mileage for an SUV. And right up there with the most comfortable seats of any car I’ve owned (I’ve owned 43 cars). I replaced the tires with Pirelli Cinturatos, which enhanced the ride, quiet and road performance. One of the very best all-around cars for daily driving I’ve owned.

Nice comfortable small suv that serves as a mini truck. It pulls a light trailer with command. Can't beat the reliability and low cost of ownership. Still stylish and fun to drive.
