After 10 months still feel great about my rav4 excellent all round vehicle. we shopped 4 brands of suv, honda toyota, mazda, subaru narrowed it down to toyotha and subaru due to fun to drive, all round comfort and value. close second was subaru, followed by honda, was not impressed with mazda due to visibility which was excellent on the toyota and subaru which were both a pleasure to drive in town and on the highway.

You pay for what you get. Great quality for the price. You can pay less for an suv but you will not get the build, ride or satisfaction compared to other import brands. Most companies take something of quality out of there cars in order to get the lower price. Honda is a good example of taking quality out but basically keeping the car the same with little improvement. They may seem different but there foxes with sheeps clothing. The manufacture says they have to break completely before they consider fixing it regardless if it has few miles or not. Toyota stands behind what they sell. Don't buy anything else, consider only leasing them if you don't want to be sorry.

Bought our 2017 Rav4 LE new from the dealership right when it came to the lot now at 33k miles were starting to have transmission problems hard shift and sometimes want shift till 6k rpm also our braking system failed, worst purchase I ever made. It was nice at first seats are somewhat comfortable but dust and dirt collect very easy on it. radio needs some work headlights are horrible somewhat good on gas. Paint on em seems cheap after 6months of it we started to get chips in the paint. I stay away from Toyota build quality has dropped drastically...
Not a vehicle for me

Okay I drive a Subaru WRX, my wife a Crosstrek, my son a Outback and in the base a Legacy. So from that POV on a recent trip I rented a Toyota RAV4 for an two week hiking trip in the Northwest to Mt Hood, Mt Rainer and Mt Olympia; I would be traveling on a number of dirt back roads and wanted an SUV. Lets start with the positive. The vehicle was new... it had less the 5 k miles and still had the new car smell. The storage was more than adequate for our back country gear. The AC was good and the controls were generally intuitive except for the A/B Odometer control. Now for what I did not like. Even though this is an AWD vehicle it drives like a FWD vehicle; the torque steer is quite noticeable on acceleration. The handling is very vague not crips like I'm use to with the Subaru's I've driven; cornering at speed can be disconcerting. Braking is fine. Many speak of the advantage of the height of an SUV but I found the nose of the RAV4 hiding what was directly in front of me. Now the rear view camera was a disappointment; the guidelines superimposed on the image were off and placed my too close to surrounding vehicles. As for the transmission, I found myself having to manually set the gear on back roads because it was constantly switching between gears or lacked need power to get up the steep inclines. So in a nut shell I really wish I had rented a Subaru Outback because the handling, and power delivery are superior.
