Not a Camry Station Wagon

2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

Too truckish to be a Camry Station Wagon. Much more road noise than a Camry. Road bumps more jolting. More road vibration in the steering wheel. Highway directional stability not as good. Upper door panels hard plastic even on the XLE. Despite these lack of Camry like characteristics and refinements, I found the Rav4 competitive with a Subaru Forester I rented. I believe shoppers looking for a medium sized SUV with Camry levels of quietness and ride comfort and seat comfort should look at the Toyota Venza which has great user reviews.

Worst mistake I’ve ever made

- Fuel consumption issue didn’t meet advertised fuel consumption rating; poor gas tank design - Poor handling; read the moose test - Poor sound insulation; very noisy ride that even loud music can’t fixed - Expensive for what you get; go read consumer reports to see why it’s ranked lower than a cheaper Tuscan - subjective, but it’s ugly as sin with interiors that look like something from the 90s - don’t buy this; my experience been nothing but regret only bought because so many praise Toyota but I think they’re just coasting off their antique reputation

Lack of passenger side legroom

I rented a 2021 Rav4 this past weekend to visit my daughter who owns a 2017 Rav4. The legroom on the 2021's passenger side was bad. The legroom on my daughters Rav4 was 1 or 2 inches better. The 2021's engine shutdown feature when you stop sounded like the engine had bad motor mounts, if it was my car I'd be taking it to the dealer. Even my daughter thought the 2021 looked cheap. I'd steer clear of this model.

It’s my second RAV4, loved my 2006, it was almost 300,000 miles, it was faithful.
