I once had a 78 Cadillac Deville.It was like...buttah! But this Rav4? A very close ride.Smooooooooth ride,and it just feels ..luxurious! I have only had it for 3 weeks,but I am amazed every time I drive it! The Honda was a wonderful vehicle,but this? This is like...so luxurious! Actually,even tho it is MUCH bigger? It gets way way better gas mileage.The sound system? Goes up to 60!! Beautiful sound,better than my Bose home sterio..I just wanna sit n my Rav4 an listen to the XM radio all day..Cannot WAIT to take a nice long road trip! Got a stupendous color,and the black interior is so clean and classy.I think.. Cant wait to see what it is like in the winter! Seriously,this Rav4,is a fun driving experience..***Update..So,I love this Rav4 more than I ever thought ,especially this winter!,I put studded snow tires on it,much to the consternation of many of the 'old timers' .But ,I have a job that makes me HAVE to get to it,no matter what,and this has been a heavy duty winter so far.Many times,when I leave for work? The roads have not even been plowed.Im the first one on the road.My sweet Rav4 just eats up the snowy,icy road,like it was made for it! Slow and steady,and it will go anywhere!.For a minute,last fall,I considered trading it in towards a Toyota truck.I am so glad that I didn't! I love this vehicle,and yes,there ARE some blind spots,but Ive learned to work around them..In my opinion? This is the PERFECT winter vehicle.We call it"the Tundra mobile"...Gas milage,in the winter is down to 23 mpg,but its ok.The quality of the ride is amazing! Update..I am still in love with my Rav4.in the 3rd winter..Wonderful.I can go anywhere.STILL! the perfect winter vehicle.+++Update again..after 3 years? I STILL love this vehicle..Yes there are a few annoyances.The interior lights thing,{Youll see} and there are some HUGE blind spots.Luckily I am able to turn and twist and see them,and the camera helps too.To replace the rear wiper blade,you have to have a special tool,or go to a dealer.Other than that? I love it! update..I still love my Rav4. The only issues have been the tps monitors.They are always on and replacing them {130$ a pop) dosent seem to make any difference..Ie learned to check the tire pressure myself.Cant rely on the monitors. one year later! Still! No problems with this wonderful vehicle except the TPS monitors..Ive replaces all of them.at great expense,but they still light up my dash.Oh well,nothing that some well placed tape cant remedy.Still LOVE my RAV$....same still.What an excellent vehicle!Tps monitors still acting up but thats a small wrinkle. Update###Ive had this Rav4 for 6 years and it is still the most trustworthy vehicle Ive ever owned! The TPS monitors are just not...able to be fixed,but Ive learned to use a tie presser checker..All in all? A Fabulous vehicle!...year later.still love it.Replaced front and rear brakes,no other maintenance required.,92k miles..Still love this vehicle. 2024 107 miles.still love it but itneedds a few things.The TPS monitors are ALWAYS on.Even after getting them replaced! The tranny pan is rusted and will need repair before winter.Had new rotors brakes etc put on this spring.All in all? I STILL love this vehicle! id definitly buy another one!

Bought a limited and have found out that the front seats are made for people under 6'. Drivers side is too narrow for comfort. Your right leg will ride on side buttress and not on seat cushion. On long rides, you will be very uncomfortable. It was my mistake and I will have to live with it. When you are test driving a new car, you tend to look at all of the bells and whistles, and forget about comfort. Please do not make my mistake. A very costly mistake. I love Toyota's- had a Camry before the limited. Wow-talk about opposites-going from comfort and quiet, to noise and, "can't wait to get out of that seat" vehicle. Be wise and TAKE YOUR TIME". Remember, there is a big difference between a regular car and an SUV. You will be giving up comfort and noise level. *** Update-5-6-17! Car still uncomfortable for me. Still paying for a car I do not like. Would like to sell it and go back to a Honda or Toyota sedan-more comfort, more cargo space, better gas mileage! As for gas mileage- always subtract at least 5 MPG from window sticker. Getting around 22-23 MPG combined. Glad gas is cheap at this moment! As for the positives- looks good, made very well, tight body, tight engine- in other words, a Toyota!!

This is an addition to my earlier review tiled "2000 Mile Review" shortly after I wrote my review, I continued to improve the MPG of the RAV4. I reached 29.9 MPG and was about to take my first trip in it. I immediately got 30 mpg as I entered the expressway, which meant I was at the cusp of getting there. I suggest another decimal point be added to the instrumentation. After 4 hours of driving I was at 30.1. I ended the whole trip at 30.2 MPG average which I think is great! The dealer originally told me I should get 24-25 MPG. The visibility all around is great. The seats are great because my legs did not go numb or feel any tingling in them like some vehicles I owned in the past. Cargo space was great. There was very little noise the entire way. Acceleration was adequate. I love the cruise control. I can do all the highway driving with that and not have to use the gas pedal for hours. The vehicle does let me know if I am straying out of my lane just because it is that sensitive. Most vehicles I cannot feel it if I am going out of my lane. I also climbed several dirt hills to take a short cut and the RAV4 did just fine. Overall I am still very happy with the purchase.

Purchased the vehicle in the Spring 2015. When I test drove it , it was only around town, only short trips . No problems at that time, loved the vehicle. In the Fall, I took it on it's first long journey to take my son to college, several hours away...and for the first time my back was KILLING me after just a couple hours non stop driving . It was then, I realized just how uncomfortable the drivers seat was....no adjustable lumbar support, no good thigh support. I used wedges, pillows, side leg support ...anything to help the leg and hip pain. Nothing worked. I ended up using my old Ford Expedition for long trips the remainder of the year. Never had issues with comfort in the Ford or even my wife's Nissan Altima. Traded the Rav4 ( and Expedition) a year later for a 2016 Kia Sorento, which I made sure to take on a prolonged test drive before buying. Needless the say, the Kia's seats are excellent. ........If you find the seats in your Rav comfortable, then yes, the Rav4 is an excellent choice and should provide reliablity and value for years and years.

The 2015 AWD RAV4 XLE I got is a good car, has a sound system that cranks and 3 months free XM/SIRIUS radio and free maintenance for 25,000 miles.PLUS the 6 speed transmission is factory sealed and never needs to be checked.The deal I got was good as I traded in a 2013 CRV.The XLE w/17" alloy wheel are sharp but did not come with locks,WHAT?The 65,000 Michelin Latitude Tour tires are a must have as well.Comfort is great,ride is smooth and 24 MPG is good enough for now that the price of gas has dropped 50%.The running boards and trailer hitch and harness made the deal I got a darn good one,and no one else could beat it.Sport mode/econ mode/regular mode offer variable performance too.GOOD CAR!
