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.

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.

I have a 2014 Rav4. I have had nothing but electrical problems with locks and now my radio/cd/navigation. I have had electronic malfunction with locks which have been replace numerous times. It was fine when it was under warranty, but now that it is out of warranty. Right front passenger door won't open with key fob or with button on drivers side. It needs new actuator to the tune of $260.00, which is simply a magnet in the door to signal the lock to open and close. I called Toyota and they would DO NOTHING. How can you stand by your quality of your parts which can't even seem to last over a year? This vehicle is 4 years old. Now the radio stopped working. Same problem hundreds of others are complaining about with the same year Rav 4. Are you kidding me? The dealer wants $1200.00 to replace. I am disgusted in the quality and lack of responsibility of Toyota to stand by it's products and take care of their customers. Are you looking at these reviews Toyota?? You have a lot of dissatisfied customers.

I have a 2014 Rav4 purchased new. Has anyone had a problem with their RPM's surging or the Transmission not going into drive or not changing gears after the recalled Torque converter was replaced. This only happens when it's cold. My dealership has been trying to find the problem for 2 months to no avail. I absolutely no problems until the torque converter was replaced. Update 08/14/18 My dealership (Prince Toyota Tifton Ga) never found a problem. I had video to prove the problem. I have had no problem since the weather has been hot. Only time will tell when winter comes.

The Rav 4 is a responsive, small SUV and well appointed. The auto liftgate is handy and all the features you might want are available in the Limited. HOWEVER, if you have an I-Phone 4, you will not be able to load the contacts from your phone on to the bluetooth system! Wish they had told us that the contacts would load on the base models, but NOT their top of the line model. If this is important to you, and it should be, look elsewhere.
Transmission DIED at 125k...

We bought this care brand new back in 2014. it's been a great little car for my wife and through out it's life it only had a couple of minor issues. the driver's side door actuator died around 40-50k, luckily we had Toyota Care so they took care of it under the extended warranty. besides that 1 issue and doing all the recommended maintenance at the Toyota dealership we didn't have to dump any money into this car. fast forward to last wednesday... wife calls me panicking, the dashboard lit up like a xmas tree... TRAC light on, AWD light on, Check engine light on, the engine is revving up to 7000 rpm and car sounds like one of those fast and furious cars. so i had it towed to the dealer and the next few phone calls blew my mind and I'm extremely disappointed at Toyota... my service advisor called and told me the transmission is done and it'll cost 9k to place... my Rav is may be worth 10k trade in and they want me to dump 9k to fix this thing???? (comes to find out the earlier Rav's used a transmission design bought from Ford. (if I would of known this, I would of NEVER bought this thing.) I had a 06 4Runner sport and that thing was put through the ringer and at 120k it still drove like new and had no issues. my wife had a 03 Corolla and at 155k it also had zero issues. this experience sort of left a sour taste in my mouth for Toyotas... I'm not sure if I want to get back into a new one.

Second owner and purchased this rig 4 years ago for $14000 with 40k on it. Worth $17000 now!!! Live in the high high Rockies where 4wd/awd is pretty much mandatory. Put some Hankook all-terrains on it for that reason. A beast in the snow!!! Pros: Easy engine to work on, good gas mileage, fast enough, reliable, decent looking, agile like a cat, sport dr option, very roomy, built in Canada, came with weather techs, good sound system, Cons: Loud interior, no intermittent wipers on LE model, cheap interior, would be better with at least 3.0 engine (had 2010 with 3.5l wow), cheap rims, suspension (I modified)

I’m unfortunately selling this vehicle currently. However, that is due to my cost for insurance. The vehicle itself is quite simply the best vehicle I’ve ever own. Bought at 89,000km and two and half years have brought up to 144,000km. Haven’t had to take it into the shop for mechanical issues once. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle or other RAV4 models to anyone.

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. In addition to the radio, my shock absorber tuber was leaking on the first 3 yrs, Toyota quality was once famous, not anymore! I'll buy Subaru next time.
