This is my 3rd Toyota! My family, including extended family have all owned/ still own Toyota’s and we love them, for me, going with the RAV4 was a no brainer, I also show and breeed dogs, this SUV will get me and my 3 dogs, along with luggage, crates, table and everything else that goes along with it, dog shows can be indoor or outdoor at parks/ horse arenas so the found isn’t always pavement, I know my Rav is up for the challenge!! Bottom line, this car is amazing. I highly suggest getting this and at the very least take it for a test drive!!

Ravishing Rav4

The Rav4 is a good value for the price. It is also good on reliability. Toyota has worked a lot on the comfort of the ride (chassis). I could tell a big difference as compared to my last Rav4, a 2013 model. I have had several compliments on my vehicle's color. It is called Majestic Aqua. The car appears to be different colors. In the shade, it looks like a dark blue to black. In bright sun, it appears as a lighter blue, with flecks of green to aqua!

Bought a new 2018 le rav 4 to replace my 2010 rav 4 that i had purchased new . Gas mileage is worse in the 2018 rav 4 and both have the same 4 cyl engine. the new 6 speed transmission is terrible . The transmissions performance alone is enough to keep me from every buying one again, revs too high at times to shift when accelerating. the safety features are much too twitchy and distracting to the driving experience. I would not buy again and this was the 5th toyota in my family .

Not the same old Rav4

I was skeptical and also looking at a used Lexus RX. So glad we went with The Rav4 SE. I can haul gear to my video shoots and drive my friends comfortably. Great in weather and the most comfortable drivers seat I’ve been in. Much more storage capacity than I anticipated. Great suv. Well be keeping it for a very long time.

Now I Own a Rav4 Hybrid

I'd been looking at the Rav4 for a couple years. I went to the Auto Show when it came to Denver, looked at all the cars, and thought the Rav4 was the best value of any car at the show. It was also more desirable than the CRV, and I'm a Honda guy. I liked the idea of the hybrid, as we do use the car as a daily driver, so the boost in MPG helps. It's a good vehicle to own in Colorado on bad weather days. There's room to haul stuff. It's comfortable, very smooth for road trips. We had a Pilot previously, but don't need the third seat any more. We like it. It's meet out needs nicely.
