Used 2017 Toyota RAV4 Consumer Reviews
RAV4 times 2
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.

Very reliable SUV.
The only thing I can say negatively about my RAV4 is the gas mileage. I had been driving a Prius C where I was getting about 40mpg to the RAV4 and get 28 mpg. Going from a hybrid back to a regular car is a shock. However, I love being higher up off the road and the RAV4 is a pleasure to drive. The only maintenance I have to do are oil changes and tire rotation. Very happy with it.

It' just a car.
Front seats are just average. Height adjustment launches you out of the seat as it tips forward while moving up. Interesting Toyota wants the driver seat comfortable but not the passenger. The new 4cyl motor is just fine for all driving. We have 5000 mi on now and drivability is fine. We replaced our 2003 Highlander with this RAV. The 2003 is still a better car overall than the 2017, only lacking the new safety stuff. The size of the RAV is actually minutely larger than the 2003 Highlander. Should have looked at some of the competing mfg's.

The Hannah Montana of SUVs!
Finally, a SUV that is fun to drive! Listen, if you're looking at that SUV purchase as being vaguely one step up from the nightmare of a mini van, and you really want something that feels sporty and fun to drive, check out the 2017 Toyota RAV4! Put that mother in sport mode, move the shift lever over to manual, pick a chump at a stoplight and give him something to think about while you smoke him and laugh hysterically! It's just that fun! You'll think you bought the Beamer instead! :) And, once you're up to highway speed, set the radar-controlled cruise control and prepare to be really impressed at how well it helps you keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. The entertainment options and vehicle information displays are great, too! Don't pass it by!

Upholding the Toyota name
I am in a lease with my 2017 Rav4 XLE FWD. Toyota is known as the most reliable car on the road and this is an undisputed fact. The pricing may be higher on a Toyota, but the resale value always makes up for it in the end. The only complaint I have on mine is that the tune knob is a bit far to reach when driving down the road. other than that, I have no complaints.
