Used 2017 Toyota RAV4 Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
And they want to build self-driving cars?
We had a 2015 RAV 4 and traded it in for a 2017 model. The new one rides much quieter and handles a little better.However, as with the 2015, the voice recognition system is poor. It cuts off in the middle of instructions and rarely gets a destination correct on the first try. I'm taking it into the dealer tomorrow. I'm hoping they don't tell me that can't duplicate the issue as they did a couple of times with the 2015. When you lease a $34,000 vehicle you expect everything to work.

Like an Old Shoe
There are no surprises. Just like a previous 2011 4Runner, the RAV4 is a reliable, no surprises vehicle. This is my wife's car, I never have to be concerned that it will strand her somewhere. My only complaint is road noise. It's not fair to compare to my Genesis which is almost eerily quiet but I could buy two RAV4's for the price of a GV80.
RAV4 Limited Hybrid assessment
Great car for in and around the city and for short distances. Nimble...gets in and out of places really easily. The lane departure warning, danger warning and emergency situation braking is great. Negatives: seats are not real leather and are hard, uncomfortable and not ergonomically well-designed resulting in neck and back pain on longer trips or frequent highway travel (limited seat adjustment positions); the cabin space is small and cramped for people 5'8" (me) or taller; the car is noisy on the highway (poor insulation); the hands-free phone system is mediocre at best; rear-view visibility is poor (fixed on recent models); the car pops out of gear when using the lower gear options and hitting road bumps or depressions; no CarPlay capability (is on more recent models); the hybrid system battery may need to be replaced starting at around 100K miles and may cost around $5000+ to replace.
