Love toyota's (i have 5 presently) all running and dependable. timing belts have always been a red flag to me, but most toyota's use the timing chain now, makes them more dependable than ever. my 2017 rav4 makes a high pitched whine just before changing into a higher gear. ex- 1st to 2nd- 2nd -3rd

Rave on 4 Rav4

I bought this car from dealer with 34,000 miles at fair market value. Very clean. Looks brand new. Received 4,000 mile dealer warrantee. Ample interior space with plenty of power for 4 cylinder car. A little too manny bells and whistles for me though. Front brake pads at 2mm. needed replacing at dealership no charge. All told this is a good car reasonably priced. RMC

The suspension is the detail which impresses me, most. Hugs the road on sharp turns. Excellent handling, nice interior technology. The 2023 model surely has more, in the tech department, but by 2017, Toyota had already included the 6 safety controls (beginning with Lexus) into the RAV4. I considered trading it in for a Mazda CX-7. I like it too much, though. Keeping it longer.

Do your home work on reviews of other types of SUV's in this class, and talk with owners when you see them in the public places. believe me you will not be disappointed! Going on 3 years now of ownership with 25,000 miles can not say enough about how much I love this vehicle. The only problem I have is the black color interior makes it hard to see the instrumentation, mainly because I'm blind in one eye. But all else makes up for that!
