My 2016 XLE is a very nice riding car with plenty of room. I wish it had come with a CD player. The transmission is lousy in ECO mode. The car is alwaways shifting and doesn’t know what gear it wants to be in. It works fine in sport mode but you have to manually put it in sport mode every time you start it. Themilage is just ok. It should be better. I average 18 to 23 miles per gallon and I am not a fast driver and do not do jack rabbit starts.

Decent Rental But Won't Buy One

Rented a Rav4 that had only 4k miles and drove it 700 miles roundtrip. Decent cargo and visibility. Couldn't figure out entertainment interface to control by steering wheel, so had to overreach to search and/or change radio and satellite stations. Also, couldn't figure out how to dial using display like my 2013 Kia Rio EX, so had to use my phone, even though the phone was paired to the Rav4. Aside from those small annoyances, the biggest drawback for me was the uncomfortable driver's seat. Another problem I experienced is the super responsive handling is a major flaw on uneven and unpaved highway. I had to fight to control the FWD while going 65-70mph over an unexpected long stretch of unpaved and uneven highway (thanks, CalTrans, for the warning - not!)
