We'll keep our superior 2011 Rav4 limited

Try before you buy! When we needed more cargo room to take daughter and dorm stuff back to school 100 miles away we killed 2 birds with one stone. Were considering a new Rav but a 10 minute test drive IS NOT enough so we rented a 2016 Rav4 Limited which was hard to find for rent and seemed to ride the same as a 2015 we had driven prior. The car served its purpose in 2 ways: 1: It got the job done. 2: It convinced us to keep our 2011. Why? Ok so if you drive mostly smooth highways it's ok. When tooling around/commuting on anything else it rides like a brick (yes tire psi correct) You feel every imperfection on the road.The other annoyance is the 6 speed which in theory makes sense but it's annoying as it constantly hunts for gears. The 15/16 just have an overall cheap feel inside and out including fake leather. Our 2011 by comparison feels solid, no gear hunting, not a squeak or rattle, nice ride, real perforated leather and great JBL sound. We have owned many fine Toyotas including our current Rav and 2009 Camry Hybrid but I think corporate greed has caused their quality to decline in recent years including far too many recalls some of which years later STILL don't have a fix which speaks volumes right there.

My 2012 was better!

I just purchased the 2015 Rav4 LE. I had a 2012. After driving it a few days I'm missing my older Rav4. For starters the daytime running lights no longer exist. When I use the headlights there is no small light on my dashboard to tell me my lights are on. And my headlights do not automatically go off when I park my vehicle, the way the 2012 did. The windshield wipers do not have that interment option anymore either. The console area has less compartments than the 2012 also. I'm just very disappointed that Toyota would take away these small options. They make a big difference. I did read reviews that there is less space in the 2015 Rav 4 and that is true. But I was expecting that.

Purchased a RAV4 2015 limited. Like the car but wish they would change the side mirror design very bad blind spot. Was just in a accident because of blind stop. Anyone else have this problem?

When backing up on a rainy evening it is difficult to see what is behind the vehicle because the camera lens gets wet. The tires that came with the vehicle when purchased are extremely noisy and appear to get louder as the mileage increases. This is a well built vehicle that handles well." I am very happy with it.

Great all around vehicle

I got this 3 three weeks ago and its been great so far. The engine in smooth and quiet. The eco, normal and sport mode works great you can feel the throttle change dynamics. I use the econ most of the time on city driving to save fuel and sport if I want to do passing maneuvers. The steering is how a toyota drives. The suspension is on the firm side but great on the freeway with very little body roll. The cabin is quiet. Drove from vegas to LA and back and averaged 28. I got 25 on mostly city driving. The navigation is great but voice command could be better, sometimes it does not pick up what you are telling it to do. The only missing here is adaptive cruise, forward collision mitigation and a dual chrome exhaust that I wished toyota should have added here.
