Four stars out of five so I'm telling you that I have had 6 years and 80,000 miles of trouble free performance from my 2013 Rav 4. I like the ride, the style and the convenience of the RAV4 Limited crossover. All I wanted in regards to power is to be able to hold 77 MPH on the highway with the air conditioning on and it does that. This was my first Toyota and I'm disappointed some quality issues. My moon roof started rattling the day after the warranty expired, the interior lighting is a joke, the rear head rests block the rear view mirror and the driver side seat pinches my bottom and isn't holding up well. The keyless entry has always been erratic. Sometimes I walk up to the car and it's unlocked when I know I locked it walking away. When I took it to the dealer, it works as expected. Nice car but I'll try another brand next time. I like my wife's Hyundai 2012 Tuscon a little better.

Solid Toyota Reliability and Value

RAV4 Limited has all the bells and whistles one needs in snowy Anchorage, Alaska. This vehicle exudes confidence on the road and is expected to provide many years of top-level reliability. Besides the backup camera (our first in a vehicle), the blind spot alert feature may be the best feature in this car. It works and makes one wonder how one could live without it! 2013 RAV4 Limited is a great vehicle!

Great Car but...

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.

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.

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.
