Handles poorly on corners and is very noisy at freeway speeds. JBL Sound System is terrible. Volume fluctuates from too load to you can't hear anything. Navigation system is a joke. Can't even find its way down major highways. Your better off with an after-market sound/nav system than paying extra for theirs. Its a great little car for town and work driving but I wish I'd bought something else for long trips.

I bought a new 2015 RAV4 in February. Have had issues from the start. Door locks worked intermittently, often I couldn't get back into my car - big safety issue! Took it into the service dept FOUR TIMES before they finally figured out the problem. This after my complaints being met with either disbelief or being told that I "must be pressing the wrong button." (Huh??) One of the times, they simply let it sit in the service bay for an hour and a half, then told me they had checked it out and everything was now working fine. (yeah, right.) Turned out it was the actuator in the front drivers door that was defective. (Had no idea what an actuator even was until then.) Since then, I've had 2 other "factory defects" - so far! It looks great, drives great, rides comfortably, but... I will never buy another Toyota!!!!

RAV4 vs CX-5, CR-V and Forrester

I just finished a week with a brand new RAV4 rental in XLE trim. I purchased a CX-5 a couple of months ago and test drove a CRV and Forrester during the purchase process, so I thought I would offer some comparisons. In a nutshell, these are all fine cars and which one you pick probably depends on your priorities. Go for the CX-5 if you want looks and handling; pick the RAV4 for a comfortable, quiet highway cruiser; the Forrester as a wagon replacement (lower seating position); and CR-V as the best all-around (especially at the lower trim levels).
Nice nimble car but it has problems

The brakes are awful. Pedal sinks to floor while coming to slow stops. Requires pumping to bring pedal up. Dealer says everything in spec.. Next issue is steering. The electric steering is very nimble but car wanders around lanes at highway speed. You can hold the steering wheel rock steady and still drift in and out of you lane, Dealer says everything in spec. Last issue is the radio. It changes modes, volume goes up and down by itself and, on the way home from the last service at Toyota, it turned itself on with high volume. Less than 5000 miles since new. It's a cute, nimble car around town and the best snow vehicle we ever owned (traded in a Jeep). If someone would address these issues it could be a real winner. 06/2017 Rear camera is great at night. Completely worthless during the daylight hours or in rain The angle of the srceen is great for back seat people but worthless for driver or passengers up front. Cannot safely be used. Constant chimes and alerts are way overdone. Many times, the alerts point to no cause and we give up and walk away with the beeping or chimes. Sometimes not possible since doors won't lock. Crazy. Windshield is leaking some clear polymer. Strangest thing evet. First thought it was tree sap but it only appears in the exact same places. This 'legendary' Toyota quality is a fraud. So many simple things gone so wrong. Last Toyota in our household. Update 12.28.17 Still runs well and mileage is improving. Some other things you should be aware of include: FEW BACKLIT SWITCHES. Very dangerous at night since placement of switches is downright silly at times. Not knowing what a switch does make it dangerous. EXTREMELY POOR INTERIOR LIGHTING No lighting would be a better description. Now that days are short you realize that there are virtually no lights throughout the interior - but especially in the rear areas.LACK OF A TRUE ADJUSTABLE STEERING WHEEL It moves about 4 inches up/down and the up lift height is a joke. INFORMATION PANEL IS A JOKE Utterly worthless due to small size. INTERIOR PANELS LIGHTS DIM TOO MUCH If your put your headlights on with your wipers (a law in our state) display lights like the clock are invisible.. CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW POOR THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN IS Because it does not adjust it is only useful at night. And even then you must lean over the center console to see it. Dumb, dumb. WATCH YOUR HEAD WITH THE POWER TAILGATE LIFT TUBES. Unique problem here. They are positioned perfectly to smash your head. I also have a Dodge Grand Caravan that does not cause brain damage.

I actually traded my 2015 Subaru Impreza for a 2014 Toyota RAV4 (Certified Toyota). The Rav4 had less miles on it then my Subaru. Nothing wrong with the Subaru except it was a bit small and a lot of engine noise. I just wanted something bigger and actually I had traded in a 2009 RAV4 on the Subaru. My new RAV4 gets worse gas millage then the Subie but I knew that when I traded (24MPG for the RAV 35 MPG for the Subaru) over all so far I really like my new Rav4 and love the color, metallic red! The Toyota is much more comfortable and bigger, I just feel much safer in this vehicle this being my fifth Toyota I am well aware of their reliability.
