Used 2017 Toyota RAV4 Consumer Reviews
2017 Toyota Rav4 2.5 l Petrol AWD.good vs bad
I live in Australia, and have driven my Rav about 50,000 km. Generally, I like this car and find it reliable and safe to handle with plenty of space and comfort. My 3 neatives are : 1) The listed fuel consumption of 8L /100 is totally unrealistic (I am told its achieved on a test bed) 2) It is listed as having a 60 litre tank, but the on-board computer only responds to 40 litres. I have been told by a Toyota Manager that when the computer display shows empty and the red light comes on, there are still 20 litres in the tank, (true but unprofessional). 3) The cruise control does not hold the "set" speed on slight down hills, but my wife's Mazda 2 changes gears to hold "set" speeds.

Best car ever!
My Rav 4 Is the best car I have ever owned! It is great in the snow for colorado, never slips, great clearence. In the summer it goes fast on mountain roads great turning radius and safe! Lots of room but still easy to parrell park , especially with the back up camera.

Great value for the money
For about $26k, my Rav4 SE has been wonderful. It's comfortable (even with the stiffer suspension), accelerates and stops o.k, is quiet, comfortable and the safety features are outstanding. For $10K less or more than the Highlander, it is close in many measures. I'm very pleased with my purchase of my commuter car. Why pay $9k more for a Lexus NX that requires premium fuel?

Would buy our RAV4 again...and again
We've driven several Camrys for the past 20 years and didn't know how quickly we would adjust to the RAV4. But the transition has been quick and easy. Our RAV4 moves easily into and out of traffic. The instrument panel is convenient and easy to read. The headlights do an amazing job illuminating the streets/highways on both bright and dim. The ride isn't quite as comfortable as a Camry, but it's close enough that we have been surprised and pleased...our RAV4 is reasonably quiet and comfortable. We are impressed with the many safety features of of RAV4. If we had to make a car buying choice again we would definitely buy another RAV4.

Great little SUV with a lot of room.
I looked at all the small SUV's and the Rav4 I found had the most features for the price and has the most cargo space. Honda CRV and Subaru Forest interiors are way to dated. Kia Sportage seem to have a cheap interior and was pricey with all the bells and whistles. CRV is way too much road noise. Not sure why so of the reviews say RAV4 lacks power it’s an SUV to me it has enough power you not going out and racing it. Don’t base your purchase on a company’s review but base it on the consumers review and go out and test drive for yourself. I am getting 30 miles to the gallon on the highway with ac running full blast and temps outside at 100 plus. Around town I’m getting 25-27. Yes, the RAV4 doesn’t have any rear air vent but believe me when I say it doesn’t need them. It has one in the center dash that blows straight to the rear and this AC is the coldest Ac I have ever had in a car and I have owned Chevy, Old’s, Fords, Subaru, Hondas and Kia’s. It is a Great Vehicle for the money and excellent safety features.
