Best Car I Have Ever Owned

I have owned so many cars in my lifetime but never a Toyota. I have bought used cars, cars that were just junk and I have bought new cars and most of them have let me down and failed prematurely. My background in the Military required an immense ability for attention to detail and trust me when I say that when something wasn't right with my vehicle, I knew it. Everything from the steering, to braking, to subtle noises and even distinctive smells that should not be coming from under my engine compartment that certainly hinted at trouble to come. That being said, I can honestly say that I was thoroughly impressed with the workmanship and quality that was noticeable immediately when inspecting the exterior and interior of my new Rav4. You can feel it when you are driving in the response of the vehicle the way it handles, the way the steering feels in your hands and the purr of the motor you feel under your feet. You just get the sense that this car is going to last and is a worthy investment of safety and peace of mind. If you are considering a Rav4...don't even hesitate...go drive one and I am willing to bet, you will buy it. They are truly amazing vehicles.

I bought this car for my wife. She drove it 2 months and gave it to me. I have driven it for 2 years and I want to give it back to her. Let me tell you the good things first. It’s reliable because it’s a Toyota. It averages 27mpg. Cargo space is useful. It’s cool looking. It’s easy to park. Acceleration is impressive for such a small engine. The bad- cabin is small and cramped. I hit my head when climbing in. The door sill is raised and I catch my foot on it exiting vehicle. Wife doesn’t have a flat surface to place purse on. Doors have no grab point to hold onto and avoid bashing car door on neighbors car you park next to. Interior lighting is poor, can’t see fuel door release in the dark. Engine sounds like a wheat thrasher about to explode under hard acceleration. Car is jittery on the highway and dances in the lane. Very difficult to keep it steering in a straight line without correcting constantly. Low pressure tire light comes on but fails to indicate which tire might be low. Does not have any way to monitor mileage for next service due. SImply comes on when due. Car has various annoying rattles. As soon as the new Frontier arrives, this car will be someone else’s baby. NO GIVEBACKS!

The 2021 Rav4 very bumpy and shaky when driving over 55mph. The stability on the hwy is so poor and dangerous. Very disappointed with Toyota safety design

We recently purchased a 2021 RAV4 XLE PREMIUM trim for my husband. This SUV is amazing and comfortable, as he is 5’11 and I am 5’9”. The 2.5L engine has a lot of pick me up when needed, which I don’t understand how some are saying this vehicle is underpowered, sure it’s no 8cylinder but it has more than sufficient power for everyday use. It’s very roomy, much more than my new 2021 NX 300 makes me like the RAV4 a little more since it’s also very reasonable in price with all the features it brings. We bought ours with just the features the XLE Premium has to offer with no extra add ons, since this is a commuter vehicle and my husband drives 92 miles a day round trip and a full tank of gas lasts a little over 4 days. That’s amazing for it being a gasoline engine and not a hybrid, which we tend to stay away from for now until that technology is a little more perfected. Overall I definitely recommend this trim level RAV4, oh and it’s assembled in Canada which I know from experience produces amazing quality Toyota models. Test drive one for yourself! We traded in our reliable 2017 Camry SE for this one and don’t regret it one bit! We are a Toyota family for life!!!! Update as of 10/05/2021 - We are still in love with our RAV4 and it’s been very reliable after 12,000 miles. Only been at Toyota for regular service and get its oil changed every 5k instead of the 10k for extra protection to the engine. I still highly recommend this vehicle for anyone in the market for a reliable and spacious SUV that gets great gas mileage!

I love the easy ride and the power to go, go, go. If I need to get on the freeway quickly, this car has the oomph to do it! I love the color (silver) and all the bells and whistles. I plan on keeping this car for a long time.
