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.

Test drive assessement

We have owned two RAV's each about 8 years old. They have performed well, are easy to drive and average 26 mpg overall using regular gas! There interiors are industrial spartan, but functional. Interior room is spacious and cargo capacity tremendous, probably the best in class. Both RAV's suffer from road conditions....they drive harsh, interior noise is deafening at times when driving surrounded by larger vehicles, and lack "umph" when acceleration is needed. We tested the 2018 and 2019, anticipating two new purchases. The redesigned 2019 was a disappointment. The interior, although an improvement is still fairly spartan. The drive is still noisy and harsh. The navigation system is from hunger and for whatever reason, Toyota has not incorporated Android play into the electronics....big mistake. We have test driven the Subaru Forrester and the new Ascent. We will be purchasing one of each, a his and hers! They offer superior ride, quiet and more upscale interior. Android play is standard, and the electronics are clear, easy to use and state of the art. The lifetime maintenance agreement beats Toyota's hands down! Interestingly, our three children traded their Toyotas for two new model Subarus and on one Honda....

TECHNOLOGY IS PATHETIC

Had I known how illogically the Navigation is designed and/r recognized how truly pathetic, time-wasting, erratic and inaccurate the voice recognition (voice-garbling would be more precise) is, I would have shopped elsewhere. As phoning now requires hands-free under penalty of arrest, and I must often be on the phone for work, the system is costing me income. I checked with the dealer and it cannot be altered. So-called voice-training increased the accuracy from roughly 10% to <15%. If this joke of technology is not upgraded this lease will truly be over in every respect when it ends. The technology is so bad and so important gthat it degrades the experience too dramatically. Buyer Beware!!!!!!

Death Trap - Immediate Recall is Needed

The headlights on the 2018 RAV4 XLE do not work in rural areas. A black line appears across the top two thirds of the windshield and visibility from the lower third of the windshield is not more than 75 feet. This vehicle should be considered a lemon. It is a death trap for anyone driving on unlit roads. Shame on Toyota for not issuing an immediate recall.
