We had the Toyota RAV 4 Limited AWD since May 2013 and disposed of it April 2015. At first as liked the RAV. Then as we drove it little things just got annoying. Front seat driver and passenger shoulder to shoulder, the sliding console always moving at the wrong times, smaller steering wheel and guages. The Sport button and other buttons hidden behind shifter so low that you had to take your eyes off the road to make adjustments. My wife and I are not large people and we felt a little clostraphobic. What pushed us over the edge was that our 2 labs had no place to move in the back seat and the last straw was the short wheelbase and Bridgestone Duellers that caused every bump to vibrate the entire car. Have to mention that the Duellers were horrible in the snow. Pluses were gas mileage and looks. I couldn't take it anymore and bought a Highlander Limited and I haven't regretted that choice. Should have done that a year prior. Nevertheless, if you like a 1 person car and don't mind kidney vibrations the RAV is a good choice. All in all this is a one person car.

Wonderful car for both highway and city driving. Love the backup camera. One negative is that the door locks indicators are not illuminated on the drivers side making it impossible to see at night.

I've owned a Rav4 since 2013, the redesign model year. If there's one thing you should know, it is this: The interior cabin is filled with rattles and squeaks. In less than three years (still under warranty as I write this), I've had no less than 4 different rattles and tapping noises to chase down. This started before 1K miles! The materials are very cheap Chinese plastics. I had one HUGE dash vent rattle fixed by the dealer. I'd been to the dealer a total of three times to fix the other noises and a "catch" in the moonroof cover to no avail. So, I've had to watch youtube videos on how to take apart the dash pieces to fix them myself. After taking the dash apart, one thing is apparent: If Toyota would use slightly better grade materials and have the factory workers put another few minutes into assembling the interior, this could all be avoided. The other thing you should know about is the Info- tainment system. Toyota Entune system is a joke and all Nav head unit functions are slow and clunky especially when compared to other auto makes from the same era. It's like Toyota was 3 years behind the others in what they offered and how smoothly it works… another obvious COST CUTTING measure. Other than the glaring interior quality issues and a slightly harsh ride on the 18" Bridgestone Dueler stock tires, the motor, transmission and brakes have been fine so far. Last words: I bought this car blindly on the history of owning 9 Toyotas before it. My mistake but who would think these guys could build such a P O S after a long history with the brand? My last Toyota. I'm moving to Mazda.

Drives well, looks decent, and is trouble free. Interior comes up a bit short. The control panel is a glare magnet with a bad user interface. The shiny dashboard reflects sunlight and the large windshield lets a lot of it in. The sun visors are not long enough, so sun comes in through the gaps. The low beams are not bright enough so you have to use the high beams at night. Some switches are mounted under the dash where you can't see them, or on the steering wheel where you constantly hit them by accident. The driver's seat tilts but does not raise and lower. It has enough leg room, though. (I'm 6'3".) There's plenty of space in the back with the rear seats down, but there are no tie down hooks or fence behind the drivers seat to keep cargo from sliding around dangerously. This car understeers a bit too much for good handling, but it's heavy enough to keep contact with the pavement. With all-wheel drive, it's capable in bad conditions, but don't take it off-road since there are no skid plates.

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.
