This is a great SUV . Very comfortable ride . The Navigation logic can use a better logic. Its acceleration was better than i expected. The technology for Blind spot and dynamic cruise control is amazing .Makes long distance driving a pleasure since you dont have to break as often .. this technology allows you to keep up with traffic and eliminate stress while also creating a safe driving experience . Several times when someone cut in front of me -- the car just lowered the speed automatically . There is no overhead light in the trunk part when you open the hatch back which is a problem & the automated lock/unlock buttons are not lit creates problems at night otherwise What an amazing vehicle!!

This was my first car purchase. Had problems with e-brake as soon as I purchased, took to the dealership THREE times before they agreed to fix it. They told me I didn't know how to engage an e-brake. Very condescending and rude. There was a moldy musty smell in the cabin of the car every time it rained. After months passenger floor was completely soaked through from below. The car continued to develop mold and water, but the dealership denied there was water at all. After 5 months of being told the car was fine, the mold became unbearable and I became sick from driving in it daily. It was finally taken in and the dealership tried to find the cause of the water coming in that was flooding out below the passenger seat and footwell. After 1 month of trying to find the solution they gave up, eradicated the mold and put it back together. After being told by Toyota to go get a lawyer, I did just that and filed a lemon law complaint. The company is now buying back the car but the process has been horrific. If you are buying a white 2017 Toyota RAV4 used in Southwestern area of PA it could be my lemon that they put back together. You have been warned.

Both the driver's and passenger's seats kill our backs! I'm seriously considering selling it after only having for 2 months!!! If I can't find an after market solution ie new seats (I've already tried 2" thick memory foam seat cushions for both seats-which don't help at all), I will be selling. I don't care that I'll lose money. I won't be able to live with the hip and back hurting as badly as they do! I did sell the Rav4. It was the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE car I have ever ridden in. I couldn't wait to get rid of it! I hated losing money, but what option did I have? Also, the mileage wasn't as good as the reports said it should've been.

This is my 5th Toyota. Shame on Toyota that does not have Owner Feedback collecting area/site on their own. I traded 2011 Camry Hybrid, but after 6 years, I do not have luxury ride RAV4 that I had on Camry Hybrid. Pros - I love Most of them that Toyota delivered and love the safety systems Cons: - - Driver seat is not as good as even 2011 Camry Hybrid that I had. With in few days I started getting neck pain, Checked with few other RAV4. Toyota seriously need to redesign. 99.9% people I checked on this were never able to rest their head. - Wrong location for USB drive that always in the way when you try to use cell phone area that Toyota reserved, So you have every chance to knock it out, over the period, USB port become useless due to accidental pushes - I was wondering why did Toyota allow about 25% size black spot when we view dashboard screen of front view camera ? That is just hides the object in front you that surprise you anytime - As one of the owner said on bottom of doors inside that catches dirt, its true and am trying keep it clean all the time and every wash. - Rainy days... Yes, you can see the water drop on your dashboard screen that are in front/review view camera. We know you Toyota, you can do the better job and solution to it. - Rear seats belt buckles are not Kids friendly as they search through every time as its too short and hidden inside the seat. - Do not know the reason that Toyota is not installing the Rear View Side mirror cover trim. It looks obvious that something is missing on them. - Toyota did a great job on 2011 Camry Hybrid breaks that you never feel the break shoe vibration on your break paddle, But in RAV4, you feel them as 90s Car. - as other owner said, Sound level is high in RAV4 than my Camry. - Toyota's Maps - Rerouting is not that speedy as it takes a full minute to reroute. - Audio - I used Browse to select a category and played, I could not come out to root to play all songs until I reinserted. Needs the Audio folder view menu to be added.

RAV4 is well rated SUV. RAV4 Platinum is well-equipment SUV and fun to drive. I recommend that you purchase carpeted car mat package or all weather mat package which is one of the only package add ons that are offered since so much is standard. I also recommend the cargo net since it helps from items falling out of rear when lift gate is opened. The cargo cover is also a great option and it is retractable cover that is easy to use. Two year free service comes with vehicle. Dealership does free oil changes once a year or every 10,000 whichever comes first. They also do free tire rotation every six months which is suggested for AWD vehicles.
