What a great crossover!

We came from a Honda CR-V but we really fell in love with the Rav when we drove it! We test drove a Mitsubishi, but weren't happy with the overall feel of the drive and the interior seemed a little on the low-quality side. We love the the immense safety features with the rav and the handling is superb! The car has so many safety features that I doubt we'll ever use all of them [like the radar assist cruise-control] but I guess it's nice to have if you're planning a long trip. Very satisfied with the comfy [heated] seats and the leg/head room is awesome. The biggest selling point for us was the quality of the materials and the outstanding quality and reliability of Toyota vehicles. We liked our Honda but just feel like we're getting more for our dollar with the rav-4.

Continual frustrations

If your key fob dies to your keyless enters. Be prepared. It will cost you about $400 to replace and reprogram. The metal key will only open the door. There is no place to put that particular key into an ignition. In addition, there is no longer a GPS in the car. You must use an ap called SPORT through your phone to project on the car's screen. The graphics are horrible, and the directions are often wrong. Toyota is going to lose customers. I feel like I've been duped. Before you purchase a Toyota, make sure that you know about the built in high cost items like key fobs and reprograming, and horrible Scout GPS system.

Handles really well - easy to park. Fun to drive - did disable the radar controlled cruise - braked too much - don't like that. Took it on long trip - great gas mileage, with a heavily loaded down car. Held more than I thought it would. Great price - did shopping online and was more than pleased with deal - Midstate Toyota in Asheboro, NC was very easy to deal with and took less than an hour in dealership to be on the road. Our 3rd new Toyota and will continue to buy Toyota.

Love this vehicle. My back especially loves this vehicle. Perfect for me, stylish (have the blacked out sport edition), mileage is great, cargo area is adequate (golf clubs fit—very important) and the mileage is great mixed. We have 2 in our family and love both.

Amazing RAV4

It does not have Apple or Android capability, but I knew that going in. We recently took it on a 2000 mile road trip and it handled and perfromed excellently. By folding down the rear seat there is plenty of cargo area. The Adventure package is perfect for our lifestyle. Since I am recently retired, this should be my last car.
