This is my first Toyota but will be my last. It has problems from the first month and the dealer is not willing do do any acceptable resolution. The car runs OK but not better than competitors and there are numerous quality issues. The navigation is not working properly and lost on the road at least once ever 5~6 uses. I now use my iphone more due to its reliability. Seat-belt locks when I put on, so I have to try many times to unlock it. I often locks when I need to reach the glove box while parked in a parking lot, so I had to take it off. The rear brakes make strange noise. [HTML removed]

My onboard radio went out of commission at the 4th year. I spent another $780 to get a new one.They said the wiring and interface of Toyota radio was too complicated to work properly. I never drove a car with radio went dead first. Is this "Toyota quality"? OMG! They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Not gonna buy Toyota anymore.

This SUV is is quite comfortable it has enough space for running around town but also to go out and camp or do other activities on the weekend. Soft ride when going over 45 mph but a little rough suspension on the rear feels like a truck suspension. One thing i do miss is the sunglasses holder. Also the navigation system seems outdated and the entertainment system is a little on the slow side. Other than that its a all in one package vehicle that feels complete. Haven't had the chance to take it out in the snow but will be doing it later in the year!

40 months, 60,000+ miles and no major repairs. Just recently replaced tires, and we're happy with how the car has held up. Our only complaint is that the touchscreen has topped working after three years, something we've seen mentioned in RAV4 chat groups. Winter performance in PA has been strong. Would absolutely buy another one. Just got 34 mpg on 300 mile highway drive this past weekend.

Reliable Basic Transportation

This is a 6 month update to my 9/2020 review of my trusty RAV 4 LE bought new in 9/2014. In 9/2020 I wrote that the RAV at 51,000 miles "has been Toyota reliable except for a failed CD drive at year 4. There is bluetooth and a USB input so all is not lost. Still comfortable at speed on smooth interstates." 6 months later: The RAV seems to me to be aging rapidly. Total miles are about 51,500 -- I've driven only 2,000 miles in the past 14 months(!) In addition to the unrepairable CD drive mentioned in September, the keyless entry system has failed. Second: The car's ride is now very unsettled -- I've had shocks and etc thoroughly checked by my customary dealer. They find nothing. Maybe my problem is new stiff tires? -- But I think that's at best only part of the issue. So the ride is now UNacceptable to me on any surface. Realignments are necessary about every 2 years if your streets are as rough as mine. So the RAV is still reliable & trouble-free mechanically, but noise and ride are wearing me out. Others may not care or notice such changes. Other trim levels or more recent versions of this RAV may be quite different. Please note that Toyota recently did a thorough re-do of the RAV, so current new RAV's may be much different. I will say -- my experience with the 2014 RAV is dramatically different from my 10 years with a 2004 Camry LE which overall was an astonishingly good "basic transportation" vehicle. I won't have this RAV for 10 years.

Poor sound stereo

After "only" 4 years of having my Rav4 2014 now I don't have a functional sound stereo, instead I have a weird image, I went to Toyota dealer and they didn't find the problem, now I stuck with a vehicle that I didn't pay yet, with no sound at all,I am very disappointed.

I was having several problems with my 2013 Ford Escape, needed something reliable. I had always owned Chevrolet and Ford. Decided to give Toyota a shot for reliability. I am very pleased with my purchase. The transmission is smoother than the Escape. Voice commands are much better than the Microsoft Sync System. Interior room is wider and back seat leg room is bigger. For the value, the XLE comes with sunroof and several other features standard. The APPS button on radio is great, Weather provided by Weather Channel, along with traffic. Works in areas with HD FM signals, I did not opt for the Navigation. MPG much better than Escape. I would highly recommend the Rav4.
Meh

Recently traded a 2003 Hyundai Santa fe for the 2014 RAV4. Based mostly on price I leased the car, it's okay but styling is boring, ride is firm, interior is cheap. If a Hyundai dealer would have been closer to home I think I would have stayed with the Hyundai, or a KIA. Inconvenient storage(coins, phone). Seat fold downs in back are okay, but the front seat could have been included to maximize full length hauling . The doors sound cheap/hollow when you close them. Overall a little disappointed, I have never owned a Toyota before, don't think I would get one again.
