Great, but some weird quirks

I have only had the car for 4 days now, so I'm still getting to used to it, but here is what I've noticed so far. Pros: It has more standard features than a Honda HRV EX-L such as the lane departure warning and active lift-gate; Sport Mode makes it feel like you're driving a 6-cylinder engine; it handled great on icy roads; the backup camera picture quality is better than many I have seen so I have confidence using it; there is a lot of information available on the instrument display panel (almost too much) including navigation directions and audio details; the message feature on the Entune Premium sound system gives you 15 different responses that you can change and customize- the HRV only had 5 or 6 and I don't think you could change them. Cons: When driving over some holes or bumps in the road there is a sort of hollow sound coming from the back of the car- I think it's "normal" but odd; the all-weather floor mats are garbage- they are soft rubber and do not anchor to the floor, they slide forward 2 inches every time I get in and out of the car- get WeatherTechs instead; some of the button lay-outs are in really odd places- the auto lift-gate button is mostly hidden by the steering wheel and the traction control button is in the middle of dash above the radio- it seems like those two should have been swapped, also the steering wheel controls for the radio are on the left side- it seems more intuitive for them to be closer to the radio; the speedometer is kind of busy and hard to read- I would have really liked a digital speed display added to all the other features of the instrument display; the steering wheel controls are kind of confusing- the controls for the instrument display have more functionality than those for the entertainment system and I'm still getting used to them; some features are highly customize-able such as the color of the radio's font and display elements, while other things I would like to be able to customize aren't there like disabling some of the Entune apps so they don't show up when I scroll through audio sources, also having more apps available through Entune would be nice- the ones they have aren't all that useful to me.

Handles great, like a much smaller car. Way more comfortable than my old Sienna.

RAV4 Again -- Just Like My Dad Told Me

My dad told me to find a car that was comfortable to drive, required little maintenance and treat it well. I bought a RAV4 again because the highest maintenance bill on my old 2012 Rav was $25. Dad was right

Liked 2018 more than 2019 Rav4

I drove my 2011 Rav4 for 8 years and only had i repair, the alternator. Decided to just go ahead and trade it in on new 2019 model. The new front did not look happy while the 2018 just seemed more cheerful. The inside of the 2019 felt claustrophobic and the 2018 felt airy. The sales guy asked why I did not want to pay full MSRP, but he was quoting 10% more than MSRP. So I went looking new or used 2018 since it was the most popular SUV . When i realized they were selling like crazy I had to actually order and buy one sight unseen online, in the middle of the night. It is safe, happy inside and out, uncomplicated ( my old Garmin plugs in and is way better than car navigation, turned off bluetooth on iPhone to resolve irritating car phone). Also saved 1/3 expense.. XLE with power liftgate, 2 years left on new car warranty. The transmission works great. That is all..

Great little car

My Wife and I downsized into this form a 4 Door F-150 pickup, and so far are really liking it. I Opted for the Adventure version due to the fact that it can tow 3500 lbs when equipped with a tow receiver. It was a compromise that I needed to have both a small car that i can trailer behind a motorhome, but also have AWD for winters and the ability to tow a small utility trailer. I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs and I fit comfortably in the car and still leave plenty of passenger leg room behind me. we drove Honda, Kia, Hyundai and others before deciding on the Toyota. Only thing I wished it had was a subwoofer as i had in my pickup before, but overall, we are very pleased with the vehicle.
