Horrible in road handling very poor steering control. Sad to buy this SUV. Service did not fix the issue properly. My 2007 Jeep liberty handles better than 2017 Rav4.

This car provides a great ride. One of my only complaints is I wish they had included a digital read out of the speed. There are so many screens options that I don't know why that isn't one of them. The MPG is a bit lower than I wanted, but it drives great and I love driving it.

The driver's seat is unbearably uncomfortable on long rides. No real armrests that fit a normal person's body if the seat is in the right position. End up with severe back, neck, and shoulder pain after 2 hours which makes me dread longer drives. Had a Highlander before it become an SUV mini-van and loved the seats, the ride, the power, etc. I can't turn off many of the tech features such as beeping every time I go over a line, neither could the service department. It plays music from my IPhone even when I have the audio off so that sometimes the music is playing when on a call and I can't hear the person. MPH is good, engine is okay but not great at acceleration to pass. I miss my Highlander, wish they would bring the old model back, V6, great storage, roomy and comfy.

Great car with lots of options...Limited, AWD, with leather, blue tooth, nagi, memory seats, parking assist, hitch ETC. Lots of good safety items on car...that is what sold us on this...traded in 2008 RAV4 Limited with 72000 which had very little safety items (it was a great car with a V-6, AWD). Toyota seems to be way ahead of the other auto companies when it comes to safety. We also like the 4 cyl engine and it isn't much different from the 08 V-6 and it does it much better gas milage. Car is a great driving machine...steering is outstanding, car corners well and it a pleasure to drive. Style is beyond great...its cool and up to date. Love the hitch and I pull my trailer with yard stuff in it all the time. Car is quiet and comfortable. Dec 2020 RAV has about 40,000 and new tires...it is even quieter now. Love the car, lots of power and drives nice. Use the hitch on it for the trailer lots of times...RAV is a wonderful vehicle. I like the body style much more then the plain Jane RAV that Toyota went to for 2020. We plan on keeping our RAV for a least another 75000 miles. Nothing has gone wrong with it, interior, sound system, ETC all work great. On highway we get 30-32 miles per gallon...even using the "sport" button. Great car.
