Travel from Tennessee to Pennsylvania frequently. Put Michelin Ice/Snow tires on for winter. Best ice/snow vehicle I ever owned in 45 years of driving. AWD hybrid. Only down side is limited cargo space but did not purchase for this reason. Great winter vehicle.

Do not waste money on their navigation system, its absolutely useless! The sound system is not that great either, voice recognition sucks, usb recogntion sucks. Can not make adjustments while car is in motion, no passenger option....way ...way behind on what other auto makers are offering.

Things you need to know about the 2016 rav xle

1. Seat belt adjusters make rattle noise (when driving) 2. Popping sound in the back of the car ( after braking) 3. Strong engine vibration - shakes both front seats just like the 2015 crv. Sometimes I have to shut it off when parked because the vibration causes dizziness. 4. Car makes metal type sound when backing up and turning the steering wheel (like an old car). 5. For around $ 27k, TOYota makes auto headlights an option for the rav xle. Not a smart move. Overall the car looks luxurious but feels cheap. Lots of road noise, cabin noise (because of cheap materials in the car), and wind noise. Buy it for reliability. Look for something else if you want more features and comfort with the same amount of money.

2016 Toyota RAV4 LE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Too bad this car is way below my expectations. Shifting is tricky. Controls on driver's side (to lock and unlock doors) not visible in the dark (black on black) and the "map lights" don't light much past center of cabin. The ride is choppy and I hoped a heavier car would ride better than the smaller one I traded in. The high sides of bucket seats make getting in a out a challenge and I opted for an SUV to make it easier. I'm stuck - I own the car. It's too early to comment on reliability.

Do your homework and don't trust the brochures. First of all this is a hybrid XLE. I was the proud and happy owner of 2 Camry hybrid XLE's since 2006. Both of the Camry's had automatic headlights. The brochure stated that the 2016 RAV 4 also had automatic headlights and I also expected that in the XLE model. To make a long story short it doesn't have automatic headlights. The gas mileage is horrible for a hybrid at 24-25 mpg. The on board computer shows 27.2 mpg. But when you divide total mileage by gallons of gas at a fill up it comes out to 25 mpg give or take a few tenths of a gallon. Never comes close to the alleged mpg on the display. The road noise at 50+ mph is very poor. I have to keep checking that all the windows are tightly closed and they are. The contacts in the telephone display disappear at random, usually once a month and I have to reset my phone to the vehicle via bluetooth. Toyota did an update to fix the problem and a month later all my contacts disappeared again. There are other problems, but this is enough for now. I loved my Camry Hybrids and I can't wait to get rid of this RAV 4. I don't think I would even buy another Toyota after this experience and I was their best ambassador as a Camry owner. The latest negative and once again shame on me is during a warm day with passengers in the back seat complaining how warm it was, I had the AC on in the front seat, I told them they had there own controls to turn it on in the back seat area ( my previous Camry's had the separate controls for the back. They said we don't see anything, I pulled over to show them and to my embarrassment they were right. There was no AC in the back and they spent the rest of the ride sweltering. All my telephone contacts are still disappearing at random after 2 alleged software updates at Toyota. The sticker said the average gas mileage is a combined 33 mpg. The on board computer claims I'm getting 27.9 mpg. When you do it the old way of keeping track of your mileage and dividing the number of gallons on a fill up it is around 25 mpg. My Toyota days are over !
