I gave my reliable 10 year old Lexus ES330 to my son & bought the 2015 Rav 4. I have been driving my Rav 4 for almost a year now and so far reliability has been great, it's what I would expect from Toyota. I chose the 2015 Rav 4 over the Honda CR-V for the Rav 4's exterior styling although the CR-V that I saw at the Honda dealership had a nicer interior. I must say I am quite dissapointed with the 2015 Rav 4's rough ride and engine noise in city-suburban driving but highway driving is a lot smoother and quieter. I am getting around 20-21mpg in suburban driving, and around 25mpg on the so-called real life highway driving with most of the time just me and my wife in the vehicle. City Toyota Dealership Service Department in Daly City, California is fine, but it is not the top notch, luxurious and quiet Lexus Service Department that I had gotten used to. Overall I am pretty satisfied with my purchase of the 2015 Rav 4 but I must say I cannot get used to the 2015 Rav 4's rough ride in suburban driving.

I debated between the Rav4, the Honda CRV, and the Kia Soul. All three were similar with regards to safety, but there were a just a couple of things about the Rav4 that edged it out over the CRV and Kia Soul with regards to safety. They were minor, but for me they mattered. I will state that prior to purchasing the Rav4, I had been driving a Toyota Sienna mini van for ten years (another GREAT vehicle!), so I was a little more Toyota aimed anyway. Regardless, I test drove all the vehicles. I did really like the Kia Soul, but at the time I had three cats and one dog, and I was soon going to be moving almost 700 miles away, so I needed a vehicle with the storage enough in the back for four animals. The Soul has a roomy storage space, but the Rav4 is bigger with regards to storage. That storage space is probably what edged the Rav4 out over the Kia Soul. The Honda CRV is another great car, but they are pricier. The Rav4 had the space I needed, and the price I wanted, as well it was a Toyota product which I had become accustomed to driving. The car is comfortable, and transported myself and my four animals during the move comfortably. It is peppy and fun! Big enough that I don't feel swallowed by larger cars on the road, but small enough that I don't feel like I am taking up the road when I drive it. What would I change? Not much. I would prefer if the air conditioner had vents in the back and front. My vehicle only has A/C vents in the front. As well, Toyota has a thing about creating vents that can't be fully closed. This is an issue when someone up front is cold. So I would prefer if the side vents could close for passengers. However, this is a minor issue as typically I am the only individual in the car. Also, my particular model does not have electronic controls for adjusting the seat. I was quite surprised by this. That I would change, as it makes adjusting the seat a bit easier if the controls are electronic. As with my previous Toyota Sienna, the driver's window has an "auto" control on the window, so all you have to do is tap it and it rolls itself down by itself. With my Sienna, you could also use the "Auto" switch to allow the window to raise itself. My Rav4 does not have the "Auto" ability to raise the window. I would change that. These are the only things I would change, and they are extremely minor. They do not detract from my enjoyment of the car. Nor do they detract from the vehicle's performance. Given that my vehicle is two years old some of these things might have been changed already. I would recommend a Rav4 to anyone who asked about it, and have done so. I love my 2015 Rav4!

Pros: Roomy, great gas mileage, dependable, good dealer network, good driver lumbar support. Cons: Armrest placement awkward for trip comfort, suction cup marks on windshield, handles rough pavement poorly, wind noise very noticeable at highway speeds, outside rearview mirrors block side views, no way to judge your parking as fender height totally blocks any visibility for parking. Overall road comfort feel is like a truck.This is my seventh toyota and I feel the rav 4 did not meet my expectations.

I have a 2015 Rav4, and I am very pleased with everything about the suv. I choose this vehicle for the reason of previously owning a 2007 Rav4. I loved it so much, and had no issues what so ever. My family was in a accident on a major interstate in Georgia, and we were hit in rear. The person who hit us at a speed of at least 60mph. We were protected by the air bags, and the built of the Rav4, and most of all protection of God. The car was totaled out. People stopped to take pictures of our car with our family of 4 standing outside after the accident. I know the safety of this suv is EXCELLENT. We love Toyota!
Reliable, handsome vehicle

I get about 25.5 mpg overall. Gas mileage is up 3 mpg since a moved near the expressway. The cabin is fairly quiet and the ride is decent. Acceleration is adequate. The seats fold down flat for over 73 cf of space. I love the way the sound system reads back texts aloud and the bluetooth is easy to pair and works flawlessly. Braking is excellent even on wet pavement. I have not heard any wind noise. The interior plastic scratches a bit easy, and that is my only gripe. I plan on leasing a new 2018 Rav4 LE come May. That model has all the safety features that are missing from the 2015 Rav4 LE.
