We previously drove a 2010 version of this car, same Limited Trim/ All wheel drive. Live in a Northern state so we need All Wheel Drive and Leather seats with seat heaters. The drivability of the car is great due to it's 6 speed transmission. It is not a race car but drives reasonably well. It's driven by myself and my wife. If driven gently mpg are in the 30s. Very pleased overall. One odd thing we found is the rear seat warning lights were on some days and off on others upon start up. It turns out the lights are triggered by the opening of the back doors so if the doors are opened between having been driven the warning lights come on upon start-up. If the doors had not been opened the lights do not come on. I had to call Toyota, the dealer had no idea how they worked.

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.

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).

Over all very happy with the vehicle. Cant comment on reliability or overall value since we haven't owned it long enough. But based on our last Toyota i would give it 4 to 5 stars if it does as well. I think a 6 cyl option would have been nice to have available. Storage and cubbys are few, but it is a compact suv.
