Wife and I just love this update of her 2007 Rav4. Love the tech. Love the comfort. Expecting the reliability to be like our 2007, where we have spent $0.04per mile on overall maintenance and repair...

I traded our RAV4-LE in for the limited edition “2018 Adventure XLE”. Cannot say enough good about the Toyota RAV4, absolutely the most durable reliable vehicles on the road.

Bland, Functional, Safe, Comfortable

We rented a 2018 RAV4 XLE model with all wheel drive. It had about 29,000 on the odomoer. We drove it about 500 miles, a mix of interstate and around-town driving. I like the styling, the body lines, and the contrasting black and silver rims. It was pleasant on the long trip with a good ride and good sound dampening. I like the safety features that are standard now: adaptive cruise control, lane change warnings, etc. The latter came in handy when I got sleepy on the trip home. My regular vehicle is a RAV4 with the V6 engine and it has *a lot* of power. I agree with all of the expert reviews that say the acceleration is lackluster. But it's on par with most 4CYL vehicles in this class. We rented a Nissan Rogue in fall 2018 and it was the same deal: Buzzy, droning engine at take off and it won't accelerate you out of an emergency. But if that doesn't matter to you (the power and acceleration) this is a really good choice. It'll be rock-solid reliable, you can haul lots of stuff, it's comfortable for long trips. It's so much quieter and more comfortable than my 2006 RAV4. The safety features come standard no matter which trim level you get.

Rav4 impresses me time and time again!

I am on my 3rd Toyota Rav4 and I have loved each one. They are dependable, safe and are perfect for someone who doesn't want a car but doesn't want a large SUV. The seats have lumbar support which make long rides a breeze. The MPG I have found to be very comparable to the competition and have no complaints. It heats up very fast as well even in Maine's below 0 weather! It has good acceleration and braking. It is great in snow and had kept my family and friends safe. I will continue to buy them as long as they make them!

I've owned this car for 3 1/2 years now and I have never had one issue with it. It has been one of the best buys I've ever made.
