The only reason Toyota gets such high ratings is "money". The owners are afraid to complain because it may greatly reduce their bloated resale value. Plus the arrogant Toyota personnel ignore your complaints and deny that anything is wrong "after all it is a Toyota". They can take their Toyota and put it where the sun don't shine. Pure media mass manipulation. Specifically; Front vision is not good. hood is not designed well so it is almost impossible to judge distance from an object. Rear visibility is none existent. Getting into the car is a neck breaker, the front widow is at such a tight slope that you have to bend your neck over to almost touch your shoulder or chest to get your head to fit below the top of the window. It is difficult to find the seat belt it is so flat against the center post and far away that its difficult to grasp it. It is difficult to try to hook up the seat belt because the space between the seat and the accessory is way to tight. Gas mileage is poor.

A Subaru Clone?

I did not like the configuration of the steering wheel controls. For example, I prefer to have the side mirror controls on the driver arm rest. The placement of other control features was awkward for me. I also very much dislike the change in body style. The RAV4 no longer looks like an SUV. The cargo area design with the new style will not fit the items I haul most often. I might adapt to the shift pattern, but I had difficulty with shifting and felt it would be dangerous for me to drive.

Had a 2014 RAV4 which was great. Was totaled, so bought a 2017 RAV4. 2017 RAV4 had some changes, like you had to download "SCOUT" navigation; the 2014 RAV4 had a great preload navigation system. Did not care for the new navigation of SCOUT. Bottom line I still like the RAV4.
