Had the car now for 42 months. With Covid, not too many miles driven; up to 29,450 miles. Had my first major “purchase” this week. Had to replace the battery.

I love my Rav4!

I bought the Limited model of Rav4 because it gave me many attributes I wanted such as floor mats, heated front seats, tinted windows, leather seats, and an attractive car! The Rav4 is a great size with room to carry plenty of items and is a smooth ride with AWD (All Wheel Drive). This is the third one I have had and while I looked hard at other used cars I ended up staying with the RAV4 over other vehicles in the same class. It also good clearance from the ground so in snow, it travels well, and it is high enough above the road to be above any truck spray when I pass them in bad weather. It gets reasonable mileage at 23-28 MPG and Toyotas hold their resale value

Have owned the “Recreational All -Terrain Vehicle “ since March of 2017. Still fun to drive! Has impressive safety features with a quiet ride! Only complaint is about the sound system including the blue tooth...the systems are very hard to use. Hopefully Toyota will ditch this system soon. RAV4 ‘s have a fine history of being a reliable vehicle and we are so happy to keep on trucken with our two year old Limited AWD #4 RAV. RAV is now 6 yrs old with 50000 miles. Have done just normal maintenance (oil, filters ETC). Car still rides and drive like a new one. Looks good & is vey dependable ( as we’re our 2000, 2003 & 2008 Limited RAV’s).

Not sure if it is the Bridgestone tires or just the lack of good quality insulation but at highway speeds you can really hear the road. Otherwise in the 6 months of ownership I feel it is a great little SUV. You read the Car Magazines knocking the power but I find this 2.5 4 Cyl does a nice job of acceleration from a stop or getting on the highway. My prior vehicle was a 3.0 ltr. Honda and it was a rocket ship but I am impressed with acceleration on this 2017 RAV4 Limited. I would and have recommended this vehicle as one to purchase.

Great car but this model requires the use of Toyota's @#$@! scout gps link navigation system. google maps works much better and is easier. I was driving a Nissian Frontier PU with 4 wheel drive (I live in Buffalo, NY) changing to the Rav4 didn't affect my winters. It goes in the snow. I truly enjoy the Rav4's comfort and steering. I feel comfortable on highways and on city streets. It can also cart around an impressive amount with the seats folded down. the rear reclining seats are much appreciated.
