Toyota doesn't care anymore

2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
10 of 15 people found this review helpful
I leased a 2018 XLE, right out of the gate the brake pads clunk when backing out of a parking space and then driving forward. The suspension is like a buckboard jumping side to side going around a corner. The drivers seat side bolster frame digs into your ribs. Toyota's response what did the dealer say... nothing wrong, that's how they're built, Toyota well that's the way it is, never bothered to confirm. For $29000 it's a joke. I've owned 7 over 20 years, it was a comfortable great product, not anymore. Nissan ,Hyundai or Kia next time.

I traded in my 2017 Corolla LE for my new to me "Certified Preowned" 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE. While I liked my Corolla, the RAV4 is a much better choice for me. In my opinion, the styling of the my RAV4 is way better than the new model. I love the interior. Dashboard is clean and well designed. Seats and the ride are very comfortable. I'm a fan of the many safety features Toyota includes in all their vehicles as standard equipment. The keyless entry system works well. The power operated tailgate is a bit slow but works well. Unfortunately, the headlights are halogen and not LEDs as my 17' Corolla. I have taken a few trips in my new for me RAV4 and I am so pleased with the quietness, ride, and overall solid feel of the SUV. The 4cyl engine has enough power for this SUV. My fuel economy is approx 26-27 MPG overall on city driving. I do 30-32 MPG on the highway on cruise control set at 70MPH. The 6 speed automatic transmission work very well. My RAV4 color is shinny Silver outside and all black interior. I love the paint quality and how shines when freshly washed. As negatives, I have 2 complaints. First is the radio unit. I have the CD player unit with XM radio but no navigation. The Bluetooth constantly drops and keeps disconnecting my phone while I am on a call. I've read online that this is a known issues with Toyota's radio units. This sound system is weak with low bass and volume power compared to my previous Corolla. Also, I have a XM free trial active and whoever designed this radio should be fired. How can you have XM radio and no way to scroll through the stations from the steering wheel controls? I have to stretch my arm all the way to the tuning knob on the head unit to scroll through hundreds of channels while trying to drive. And my second complaint is the front windshield. I don't know what "material" or "coating" they use on the outside of the RAV4 but it is impossible to keep the windshield clean and dry. I apply RainX on all my vehicles and this is the first time I see that water just "stays" and doesn't repel. I got new wipers and fresh coat of RainX and the water just moves side to side and smears all over the glass. I keep using the wipers and it never gets dry. Always leaves a film and streaks of water. Very weird and not sure how to fix this. In conclusion, I am extremely happy with my purchase. My Toyota dealer in Orlando FL was great and I recommend this RAV4.

They will be greatly surprised by the comfort and dependability of Toyota vehicles! We have got a 2000Tundra and a 2009Camry LE and a 2001Echo all these have been totally awesome and I love my new RAV4 LE ! I tell everyone I know and work with about the quality of every single one of our vehicles and service quality we get . No mager problem out of any of the ones we own.

I traded a Camry for this vehicle due to hip problems and the ease of getting into the higher vehicle and also the seat adjustments. My wife wanted all the safety features it includes. The vehicle drives and handles well and is pretty quick for a 4cyl. All the features that were included in the price was a nice factor also. To get a lot of the standard features in the RAV4 you need to buy much more expensive vehicles. I am a little disappointed in the noise level of the engine. It just seems a little loud. I also thought the gas mileage would be a tad bit better for a 4cly. Overall a great vehicle for the price. After owning this vehicle for 2 years the only thing I don't like about it is it seems a bit noisy when you first start it.
