Toyota RAV4 Change Vehicle

"Very fast and quite responsive. I love being able to get out of a tight spot in traffic without worrying if I can accelerate fast enough -- this car can do it!"

"This car is actually the Rav4 EV (all battery electric) It has great acceleration for merging on the freeway or just for everyday driving and still gets very high miles per gallon equivalent."

"excelerates well in passing situations"

"Great handling, good acceleration, good gas mileage, good brakes."

"Surprisingly the acceleration for a 4 cylinder is outstanding. I feel safe pulling into traffic or the passing lane on the highway."

"RAV4-EV with Tesla drivetrain has more than enough power (performs like a supercharged car) Wish it had all wheel drive option"

"Fuel economy"

"Acceleration and handling are very good. The automatic transmission is very smooth shifting."

"ease of getting in and out of ,at our older age the size of the doors and height are just right"

"Handling is very tight and has a solid feel at high speeds. Acceleration is very good overall for a non turbo engine.."

"Could use a little more power."

"The RAV 4 does not get better gas mileage than my 2005 previous RAV4. The ride is not smooth. I would expect a smoother ride."

"Transmission hunts for the correct gear at times, roaring or lugging. Worse in ECO mode."

"The cruise control often kicks out."

"Unsafe, inadequate visibility in back section of rear sidewindows for driver."

"The suspension is very tight. Takes bumps extremely hard. This is the one thing I really don't like!"

"very good"

"Acceleration from stop very slow, then sudden surge. Have trouble seeing over right fender and judging curbside--seat cannot be raised high enough for 5'2" female."

"It is not so peppy and has SUV handling--not surprisingly. It does not compare to the 2013 Escape as far as fun goes."

"Car feels top heavy - on turns feels like its going to tip over. Experience is one of not feeling safe in the car"

"Handling in winter driving."

"acceleration is good, handling is excellent. comfort is good. instrumentation is outdated ; speed should be digital in both mph and kph. Panel does not light up except at night with headlights on -- should be lit at all times. In an era of plug in instruments, more plug ins are required."

"There is a lack of power on the highway. It is a 2.5 liter four cylinder all-wheel-drive vehicle and with the cruise control on at highway speeds (especially at 80 mph in South Dakota - but even local 65-70 mph in Illinois) the transmission struggles to keep up on hills (even modest hills) as it downshifts down two, even three, speeds to try and maintain the set speed going uphill. I didn't like how the RPMs on the tachometer would go so high. Can't be good for gas mileage either. For an all-aro"

"Great acceleration. Ok MPG's."

"Very spunky little car. Accelerates well and is fun to drive. Overall gas mileage on freeway not as good as advertised (up to 29 mpg). Usually only get around 24-25 mpg on trips."

"The only slight negative is a somewhat hard ride."

"The vehicle has unexpected pep for a 4-cylinder! The exceptionally smooth ride was unexpected and the very tight turning radius a plus."

"handles great in snow."

"Car handles great. Acceleration is a little slower than I am used to, however this is my first SUV."

"Faster acceleration than the 2013"

"The acceleration is average to me - not fast but not slow. We don’t have any problems with it driving through big cities when we travel. My commute to work is about an hour, so I often have to drive through wind, rain, snow, & ice. This car handles it very well, and I feel safe."

"Woul like more acceleration at times (four cyl)"

"Excellent ecceleeration and handling with the 4 cylinder engine."

"Visibility while in the driving position is very poor. I cannot gauge where my front end and sides are. Windshield posts are in the way as well."

"good acceleration, but rough ride, stiff suspension."

"Very peppy and very good mileage"

"Great."

"Great handling, easy to park, good traction and control in inclement weather"

"I am used to a larger engine and I've been generally happy with how the car performs. My only issue is that when I have the cruise control on, the car will occasionally accelerate heavily."

"It provides a secure feeling in all regards and satisfies my needs."

"Very peppy. A lot of power to accelerate. Never an issue merging into traffic."

"feel confident with the acceleration and handling"

"Decent handling, but acceleration and power in the 4 cylinder model is somewhat anemic."

"The vehicle is an EV. The acceleration is spectacular."

"Very nimble - a pleasure to drive. Short turn radius, responsive controls, descent acceleration."

"Good acceleration. Stiff ride at all speeds. A lot of road noise at highway speeds."

"I really like how the RAV 4 drives, but it hesitates sometimes on starting from stop."

"Rough ride, acceleration is not always there when you need it, like merging into traffic. Very stable when overtaking."

"I've had it for one winter and I wasn't stuck once. That's a change from the winter before. The all wheel drive is one of the main reasons we bought it."

"good acceleration and very good handling"

"The acceleration is strong enough to merge with traffic on the highway."

"vry peppy for a 4 cyl handles like sports sedan"

"iT HANDLES VERY WELL IN SNOW AND ICE."

"The RAV4 is the best all-around vehicle on the market. It drives like a luxury car. It’s so easy to live with daily (city, highway driving). Also, it’s safe and secure in all types of weather (rain and snow)."

"both are excellent"

"We previously owned a Lexus SUV, and the acceleration was very sluggish. Not so with the RAV. When we need to merge into traffic, the RAV is much more responsive. It is also more nimble in the way it handles than the Lexus was."

"Acceleration is quite good if in sport mode I prefer this when not highway cruising. Braking is good but a bit soft in panic stops. handling and steering is very good."

"Good HI way acceleration. Automatic quick to select right gearing. Great all wheel drive and slippery snowy weather."

"I drive gravel roads rather frequently and find the RAV4 handles very well in those difficult conditions. Also I live in an area of Canada with snowy winters and the RAV4 has proven to have good handling in those conditions. I like to think I am also a careful driver who drives to the conditions."

"Visibility is somewhat limited, especially for near items. From the driver's seat it's hard to tell where the corners of the car are. Accelerating power is smooth and sure for merging in traffic."

"This electric vehicle is great balance of size and mpgE. The acceleration is very comfortable when merging in freeway. I feel good when traffic not moving or is stop-go not using much energy and not producing any emissions. My solar panels power the vehicle so I’m not using electricity from the grid that burns fuels."

"Somewhat sluggish, handles well, sports mode button is hard to get to without distracting driver."

"This vehicle is very comfortable and has excellent acceleration. It is a pleasure to drive with good visibility and handling characteristics."

"Excellent acceleration -- I don't make a habit of pulling out in front of other vehicles, but trust the car to always accelerate quickly and smoothly; wheel is firm and doesn't require excessive turning"

"I wish it was a 5- or 6- cylinder engine for better acceleration on highways and up hills."

"Rides rough slow acceleration"

"Acceleration is adequate for highway passing, but feels like it lacks some punch. It has very nimble handling, makes turns comfortably and always feels balanced. It is very responsive to driver input."

"great acceleration and handling for a 4 cylinder"

"Acceleration is pretty bad, but I guess that comes with the territory of smaller engines and bigger vehicles. Handling is mostly ok except for turning corners (at intersections), which seems kind of wobbly."

"The smart phone works perfectly with Toyota, unlike the experience with the prior owned, purchase new, Ford I traded in, because it had a xxxxxxx system."

"It handles very well in snow and ice, which very important given we live in an area that get lots of snow for many months; we also use this vehicle for cross country driving and are appreciative of the acceleration and handling."

"Handles well, accelerates well. Ride could be a little smoother on the roads"

"Peppy acceleration and easy merges"

"I loved my Camry. Great power. This is a 4 cylinder only because it no longer comes in 6 so I couldn't get a 6. It has to work much harder to get to full power for passing or hills hence actually being much less fuel efficient than the 6 cylinder. The handling and ability to maneuver curves is still great."

"Nimble and agile handling."

"Very responsive vehicle. Quick acceleration."

"I like the the handling, very positive. The acceleration is all I need in a vehicle unless I want to race a sports car."

"Nice ride, but driver visibility needs work"

"It is just a dream to drive - handling and ride are great. Plenty of acceleration for passing and other traffic issues."

"The electric steering is excellent, acceleration is good."

"Good -adequate acceleration, feel safe in vehicle at all speeds, good brakes"

"Great acceleration and handling. Good visibility as I'm driving. Responds quickly."

"For a 4cyl.it does the hills well in NS,best one I have own in my 63 tears of driving,very good in all winter and summer driving.Only one thing,in heavy freezing rain,top 4 inches build up with ice."

"Adequate for my needs"

"Reliability and good gas milage"

"handles great in snow."

"Handles, accelerates, and drives well."

"This vehicle keeps up with traffic, accelerates from standstill without hesitation or strain, handles on ramps with flow of traffic with little strain (never over 4,000 rpm accelerating on an upward sloping not very long on ramp, for example. Handling at highway speeds is exemplary. No buffeting, no crosswind sensitivity, good directional stability, good centering of steering on turns. City driving experience is ok: suspension is stiff, not harsh. Car does not rock side to side excessively as some do on rough uneven roads. Exhaust noise is noticeable in town, not at speed on highway."

"pretty meek accelaration, a turbo or a V6 would be appealing as an option. handling is fine, vehicle does not sway much in curves and is great on snowy surfaces"

"Excellent"

"Handed well. Good gas mileage."

"Good pickup and excellent braking overall. Surprising good in snow."

"only had 2 months so really cant say...but so far handles well and easily.."

"Acceleration is great. Find the steering a bit loose. Have to correct more often."

"The Rav 4 handles very well hugging curves with ease. However, the downfall is the 4 cylinder engine as it definitely does not have the get up and go my Camry xle v6 had."

"Acceleration is adequate for in-town driving. Needs more power (V-6) on the highway especially going up inclines. Transmission shifts erratically, frequently, uncomfortably with cruise control on on roads unless very flat terrain. Braking is good all around. Steering is as expected for a small SUV. Unfortunately and disappointingly we had replace both rear shocks after less than 40,000 miles."

"Drives and handles very good. Good acceleration"

"Fun to drive on mountain roads. Accelerates well with good MPG."

"HANDLING RIDE ACCELERATION IS GREAT"

"Smooth with plenty of pick up"

"The RAV4 handles the road well and has good braking. Wind and road noise levels are fairly well contained."

"Predictable steering. Responsive handling."

"I generally like it, but transmission shifts too soon or is searching for the correct gear, can be annoying at times."

"Like most smaller SUV's, the noise level is more than I would prefer; especially on a busy freeway."

"Too much road noise."

"Driver's seat controls are manually operated. This is disappointing compared to my previous 5 Toyotas (Camry) that had electrical controls that were easier to use. Climate control, noise and ride are all excellent."

"Pertains to noise only - could be a little bit more quiet. Maybe better insulation around the windows."

"The seats are very comfortable and offer several adjustments. AC is very comfortable."

"not very comfortable on long tips. Seats are not comfortable"

"On the limited model the leather interior is great, very quiet. Love the heated seats in winter. The automatic climate control works perfectly"

"At night, with the interior lights on, there are still dark areas. The car is a little small for my size. There are no lockable areas like a glove compartment, separate trunk, etc. where you can lock up valuables (except the outer doors). And my biggest complaint is that you can only use the extremely expensive electronic ignition system. Extra keys or ones lost cost way too much to replace. There is no auxiliary switch position where you can charge a cell phone when you are out of the car"

"Cabin noise is unsatisfactory. I would not buy again based solely on that point. However, everything else about this car is very satisfactory and exceeds my expectations. If I could solve the cabin/road noise problem I would keep this car forever."

"Drivers seat does not have adequate lumbar support for me and is not adjustable. Road noise is very prevalent. While not part of this question, the engineers who designed the functional styling of the instrument panel must have graduated in the lowest 10% of their college class."

"Climate control is outstanding,seats are good,ride is good for a AWD"

"Driver's seat could be more comfortable. Seams of seat seem to be in the wrong spot."

"Noisy and ride is somewhat rough"

"We have taken a half dozen long distance trips in this vehicle and it has been a quiet, comfortable competent vehicle."

"Road noise Going up small hills and overpasses the tubo kicks in until you get over the top. I will not purchase another 4 cylinder. I was told that the RAV4 did not come with a 6 cylinder ."

"Too much noise, The radio is a nuisance to control , the windows do not clean off the water or snow when rolling them down like older cars did."

"road noise hard ride"

"the ride is rough compared to our 2010 rav. it also feels less solid."

"easy to get in or out and has good inside room"

"One negative regarding the driver's seat is it is NOT a power seat. Instead, I have to use a handle to manually raise or lower the seat. The comfort of the seat needs to be improved."

"Driver's seat uncomfortable,no automatic controls,hard to adjust"

"Seats could be more comfortable"

"Very uncomfortable driving experience at approximately 45 minutes. Seats are extremely firm and do not 'adjust with time'. The Seat Length is too short to provide support for the thigh. The drivers arm rest is like concrete - can not place your elbow there for an extended period of time. Ride is rough and the car is 'top heavy' so when making turns it feels like the car is going to tip over."

"The ride is to hard and the exhaust drones around 35-45 mph which is the speed your driving around town. Its quieter on the highway which is unusual."

"vehicle sounds and feel like out of round wheel or maybe a bad wheel bearing. Toyota sold me new tires that did NOT correct the problem. Also seat are only marginal in comfort"

"My only dissatisfaction are the seats. They are not the most comfortable seat on a long ride. After 2 hours my back and bottom become uncomfortable. I am very satisfied with my RAV4 except for seat comfort."

"Interior is not luxurious, but the seats are surprisingly comfortable. Road noise is present but not excessive. Ride is firm but not harsh."

"Lots of road noise. OK on newly paved or smooth roads."

"I like everything mentioned as far as comfort goes. The design of the rear window is such that on our gravel roads the rear window is perpetually dirty and the overhang doesn't help. The seals on the doors are not on the edge so a strip of dirt is left which catches pant legs."

"Still ( noise )"

"The seats are very comfortable especially with all the settings available. The air conditioning in the seats is an unbelievable feature that just adds to the comfort on a hot day....same is true with the heated seats in the winter."

"The ride is a little stiff."

"When we first bought the 2014 RAV, the ride felt very bumpy compared to our 2006 Toyota Sienna. We ended up getting used to it, but each time I have a chance to ride in my old Sienna, I realize how bumpy the RAV ride still is."

"Climate control system develops a persistent smell of mold the Toyota is aware of but will not remedy."

"Seats are not vented and are very hot in summer. Can never seem to find optimal driving position. Road noise in this vehicle is very bad."

"Road noise level is higher than I like. We live in Idaho in an area that has low humidity and moderate temperatures. In this climate we still have experienced numerous ventilation system bacterial infections ( bad odor) that the dealer could not cure."

"RAV4 is a nice SUV. However, my wife complains about the imperfect ride. I find ride ok, but vehicle is pretty noisy at highway speeds."

"I like the car but in the warmer months there's a horrible mildew/mold odor emitting from the hvac system. Toyota told me this is a "known issue with all their cars from 2004-2014" and told me to put in a carbon filter and leave the circulation vent open. Did nothing to fix the problem. It is gross!"

"Rides like a truck. Not comfortable. Load road noise."

"Road noise in back seat. May be due to the tires on rough road surfaces"

"Needs arm rests on seats and a softer ride."

"Seats are not as comfortable as I expected. Quite a bit of road noise. Ride is a little choppy."

"The front seats take a little getting used to -- they're someone confining on the outer edges of the seat, but once you get used to it, it's okay. The vehicle has more road noise than I like. I was very surprised to learn that there was no Home Link option for the vehicle, but I found an aftermarket rearview mirror with integrated Home Link that looks like it belongs and works perfectly. I was also expecting better gas mileage, but I'm not complaining about that. Overall, I'm pleased with the ve"

"The edges of the seats bend up slightly and I am used to a longer seat length and width. It is at uncomfortable--living with it."

"Rides well for a small SUV, does pick road noise on ruff roads."

"Climate control is excellent, both heating and cooling. Seats are comfortable, but headrest tilts too far forward so I wind up sitting so that my back hurts if I'm driving for more than an hour."

"Automatic Climate Control is very erratic. Dealer states that this is normal. Temperature fluctuates in summer from too cold to too hot when set to one temp. Was told by dealer that the setting "is not like the thermostat in home"."

"The noise in the cabin is ridiculous. The quality of the Bluetooth sound is poor. When I'm on the phone people have difficulty hearing me because the sound is choppy. Also while driving the noise from wind, tires, etc is so loud that I cannot carry on a normal conversation with someone in the passenger seat. I've complained extensively to Toyota, and they are unwilling to accept that this is a problem. They say it's normal."

"To much road noise and vibration from road seams is to evident"

"Road Noise problem needs to be improved,which was supposed to taken care of on the 2016 RAV4 models."

"Seats have really helped because I have back problems."

"Toyota continues to have one of the best air conditioning systems of any of the vehicles I have ever owned (GM, Ford). It cools immediately and will freeze you out if that's what you want. They (Toyota) know how to do HVAC."

"EXCELLENT"

"The slide out expansion on the front seat is really neat"

"Seats are not as comfortable as some Toyotas, but still above average."

"noise is very bad ride fair"

"A very stiff ride."

"Significant road noise makes using Bluetooth challenging on certain road surfaces. Also, no remote or dashboard button to open/close rear hatch very annoying."

"This vehicle rides a little rough."

"Motor and road noise is excessively loud. Ride is excessively harsh."

"This small SUV rides a bit like a small truck, with a fair amount of road noise, bumps, and jolts. However, this is not a deal-breaker, as this vehicle has so many positives in other areas."

"If the seat is left in the most upright position, the headrest pushes my head forward and is not comfortable. I have to lean the seat back several notches to get this to go away."

"I don't like leather-like upholstery. My next car will have cloth seats."

"seats are comfortable"

"The front seats are too hard & too small, not comfortable. The back seat is hard & uncomfortable & does not move back & forth very easily."

"Too much noise when the sunroof is open"

"Overall - a very comfortable ride! Climate control is great, very quiet, etc. The one negative - the front seats are arched - i.e. negative lumbar support. I've had this car a short time and am now looking into modifications to correct/reduce the impact of this shortcoming."

"For the price I paid for the vehicle in Canada, approximately $ 36,000. I do not believe it was good value for the money. It is my 7th Toyota and I can see the quality of the vehicle is deteriorating ."

"Navigation (Entunes) is weak. My previous Tom-Tom was better. I like convenience of built in navigation. Very expensive to update. Would love to feed iPhone navigation into dash."

"The ride is a little stiff."

"Back seats not very comfortable."

"The seats are not as comfy as my husbands Toyota Tundra. It a little more noisy on the road. Climate control is great!"

"Ride noise more than I expected, but not excessive."

"There is plenty of room in this SUV. You can comfortably seat 5 people and the back provides ample room for suitcases, packages, anything I need to transport! A great vehicle for travel! The ride is so quiet I have at times tried to re-start because I forgot it was gong and I could not hear it! Also I have pulled right up to people whose back is turned and they have not heard me approach. The RAV4 provides a smooth & quiet ride for driver and passengers!"

"seats are comfortable and easily adjusted The ride is somewhat noisy."

"The ride is a bit stiff and the vehicle is not very quiet"

"good overall handling excellent service at Toyota dealer no lower back support cover on steering started to peel off has some big blindspots"

"Seats and noise are fine, but the suspension is stiffer and bouncier than anticipaated. You can definitely tell the difference after a long (several hundred mile) ride."

"Ride is very stiff and bumpy when driving."

"It's a bit of a rough ride."

"UNCOMFORTSBLE DURING LONG RIDES"

"seats are comfortable, interior is quite and the ride is smooth"

"Very uncomfortable after a long ride. Back and hind end are unusually sore and ache"

"Driver seat comfort for long trips is excellent. I am under the national average for male height, and all controls can be located at a comfortable distance from the seat. The seat pad and back are both very good for me, I do not have to shift my position to relieve discomfort. Ride is excellent loaded or empty on highway travel at speed -- good directional stability, very well controlled suspension movement without harshness. Noise level is acceptable but not what I would call quiet. Very good resistance to buffeting and cross winds. Ride comfort in town on residential streets in moderate to poor repair is acceptable - no rocking side to side or jarring impacts when new. However, some impact noise at 36,000 miles is now bring transmitted through the unibody structure. However, the ride is too stiff for these streets -- just a small amount of progressive spring stiffness would do wonders for travel on these city streets. Exhaust noise is much too noticeable in town driving. Not noticeable at all on the highway. Lowering tire pressure from recommended to about 30 - 31 pounds helps city experience. Has no evident impact on mpg or poor tire wear. Eliminates hypersensitive road feel in town on tar strips, rough or uneven roads."

"The ride and comfort is almost matches to luxury vehicles but at a much better price point."

"so quiet great interior memory seat"

"Seats are not comfortable. There is lots of road noise."

"Great comfort. Easy to adjust. Lumbar support Noise acceptable at low speeds. OK at high Solid steady ride and comfort. Excellent control and handling."

"Driver's seat comfort with lumbar is good. Passenger not as good on long trips."

"Rough ride."

"Driver seat control broke. Cannot adjust leg support. Seat bottom cushion seems thin."

"The seats are fairly comfortable but would have liked to have lumbar adjustment , and be a bit softer. As for the ride it is ok but would have been better with a softer or more compliant suspension. I keep the tires a bit under recommended pressure to compensate and sacrifice some fuel economy because of this."

"Like all smaller SUV's, the road noise level is more than I like. This is especially true on major toll and freeways where truck traffic is heavy"

"Not as quiet as my husbands Lexus rx350, but fine for the price. Seats comfortable with driver side up, down, tilt adjustments which make it comfortable for both of us (5'5" and 6'1"). Ride is fine, handles well"

"This vehicle has very uncomfortable seats. They are stiff. There are lots of adjustments that can be made to try to make it more comfortable."

"There isn’t much room in the back seats. As my kids get older (and taller), we find that they are outgrowing the backseats of the car."

"Rough ride transmits into cabin, short sidewall tires a huge part of problem. Toyota gives in to style over common sense comfort."

"The seats are really comfortable, but the ride is rather stiff."

"Seats accommodate leg length much better than my previous vehicle (Subaru Impreza) and are much more comfortable when on long drives (more than 500 km.)"

"a lot of wind and road noise"

"The car tends to be a little noisy especially when accelerating. The ride can be "choppy" when on rough roads but is to be expected with and SUV style vehicle"

"Comfortable seats and good ride"

"Somewhat rough ride. Lots of wind noise."

"This is the one weak point of the Rav4 - the front seats on the XLE have no lumbar support and no lumbar adjustment. They are concave in the lumbar area - something I still intend to address myself..."

"The Rav4 has very comfortable leather bucket seats. The driving cockpit is cozy and controls are all easily accessible for the driver. Very good leg room for taller drivers. The electric steering takes some getting used to for power steering die hards. The care is nimble, but lacks punch on acceleration. The ride is smooth and quiet. We taken it on 3 major road trips and gotten great gas mileage, over 26 mpg while being quite comfortable."

"Ride could be better and could have better noise reduction"

"Road noise is on the high side."

"It's not that comfortable but I still love the car. I do wish the seats and the ride was more comfortable."

"Front drivers seat is not comfortable on a long drive."

"Seats are not wide enough or plush enough to be really comfortable. Side view mirrors are too big & too high they create blind spots."

"comfortable and performance is excellent, however there is a lot of road noise on rough asphalt and the dash is beginning to rattle or vibrate."

"Road noise is so loud that I have considered trading in the Rav4."

"The level of highway road noise is excessive and not acceptable, in my opinion. Our previous 2003 RAV4 was the same."

"I find it noisy ,a bit hard to hear the radio."

"When leaning seat back the seat becomes very uncomfortable"

"I find the car is noisy. It feels like it needs another layer of insulation at the floorboards to baffle the sound"

"The 2014 rav 4 has the worst ride on the rough streets of Philadelphia of any car that I have driven"

"Heating seats"

"I think it feels cheap inside. I have the base model and the seats are covered in a cheap cloth. The dash and trim are nothing special. The cabin noise is loud. The ride is harsh."

"Limited has leather seats and adequate room"

"Somewhat noisy Bumpy ride"

"Overall ride could be better"

"Comfortable seats with great support, I can drive even when my sciatica flares up."

"I'm 5 ft tall, my Rav's seats ajust easily.Handles well,has a little xxxxx and is good on gas. Lots of room we I need it to carry items for my busness,"

"The seats are stiff as is the ride"

"The road noise is a bit high, and the car tends to"clunk" when I hit an abrupt bump."

"comfortable leather seats low noise in freeway"

"Much better comfort than the Honda CRV models...."

"Ride is a little noisy, suspect the tires, but also the suspension. Honda owners think the ride is fine, but us real Toyota owners know it should be a little quieter."

"This car is a little stiff, but the handling is very agile. I drive it in the winter, on rough, icy/ crusty roads in the Michigan winter and it is very sure-footed (with snow tires). The on-demand 4 wheel drive lock system is great, and the Sport mode really seems to tighten up the transmission revving when on windy mountain roads. It feels at home on rough roads, but I haven't done nor probably would, intentionally, do any serious off-road driving with this car. The clearance is pretty good, too."

"The road noise is extremely loud in this vehicle"

"Back seat very rough riding on freeways"

"a little noisy."

"Seats are comfortable, ride is good for long durations and visibility is good. Quiet could be better."

"Leather seats have butt warmer and adjust to anything you'd like."

"ROAD NOISE LEVEL IS DISAPPOINTING. GLAD TO HAVE A GOOD AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERCOME THE ROAD NOISE. TOYOTA CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. IF I WAS BUYING THIS CAR NEW, I WOULD LOOK ELSEWHERE BECAUSE OF THE ROAD NOISE. OTHERWISE A GREAT VEHICLE"

"I really like the comfort of the front seats. I have lower back pain that many other cars make worst. The RAV4 does not adversely affect my back. The only complaint is the road noise is a bit too high but not as bad as many other vehicles. It is about average in my estimation."

"Driver's seat is less comfortable to me than even rear or passenger's seat"

"reds a softer ride...like a highlander"

"Well-designed vehicle, a pleasure to own & drive"

"Pretty noisy on the highway. Loud wind buffeting at hwy speed with back windows down. Not tolerable"

"Average in terms of comfort - seats are decent but can get a little uncomfortable for long drives of a few hours or more; does not have as smooth a ride as most of the larger SUVs; does have some road noise."

"Too much street noise. Would like the steering wheel to go up"

"Lumbar support has become “squishy‿ over time, particularly in the driver’s position. Air seals are wearing too soon. Overall ride remains very good."

"The ride is stiff - you can feel every bump in the road and there is a lot of road noise"

"The Toyota is has a relatively above average noise level."

"Lacking lumbar support"

"Very noisy during freeway driving"

"Seats are comfortable. There is limited road noise. Ride is smooth and comfortable."

"Seats fit my small wife very well, one of the reasons we choose Toyota over Honda SUV"

"Our Rav4 drives well, has lots of room, is economical to operate, and offers outstanding value for the price we paid."

"Driver's seat not comfortable"

"The seat deck is to short and side support is lacking"

"Excellent seat comfort on the XLE modle"

"Comfortable for longer drives."

"The seats are comfortable , but for longer rides Seniors need more cushion in the seats. The buttocks hurt to quickly."

"Noise. Is a problem with my hearing aids."

"Ride is noisy Drivers side seat is hard and uncomfortable Windows lower with quick press of button but the button must be pressed continuously to raise window"

"seats and ride excellent especially highway cruising. road noise and the quality of the sound system together are not good. the sound system is always overpowered by the cabin noise."

"Road noise is louder than expected"

"passenger seat is not as adjustable as the driver's seat and therefore not as comfortable on long drives"

"Comfortable and firm seats."

"Seating is uncomfortable and hard to adjust"

"Good supportive leather seats"

"noise inside car on highway rides hard"

"Lots of adjustments. Easyto find a comfortable position. Seat memory for 2"

"Very comfortable, well padded seats with multiple adjustments."

"Comfortable, versatile. good ride and comfortable"

"Bumpy ride"

"VERY QUIET SAME AS MY LAST RESPONSE AS WITH THE TUNDRA .HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AROUND.CAR IS ALSO VERY GOOD SOFT RIDE,AND HANDLES WELL"

"THe RAV 4 cycl is noisy upon acceleration. The ride is stiff. the seats are hard"

"very comfortable seats!"

"Seats are uncomfortable , road noise."

"Part of the reason for purchasing the Rav 4 was its comfort over are other choices. It has not disappointed us."

"Firm, comfortable seats, with enough adjustment to find a comfortable position fairly simply."

"The power seat system is excellent for choosing a good comfort level. The memory of your own seat comfort for when someone else drives it in between is a great feature. The ride tends to be rather rough. It's definitely more like a truck."

"Dash board hard to read. Poor visability , Very dark."

"Road noise is very noticeable even when the windows are up. When car windows are open it can create a noise within the vehicle that actually hurts your ears."

"The XLE doesn't have lumbar support, you need to go up a level to the Limited. However, the seats are very comfortable for long rides."

"Adjustments are very good. Comfort and solid seats for long trips. Solid ride. Road noise needs to improve."

"very good"

"The road noise in the RAV4 is terrible. It is hard to have a conversation from the back seat to the someone in the front seat. The ride in the back seat is very uncomfortable as the seat is just too stiff. Like sitting on a wooden bench."

"Excellent value for the vehicle."

"A mechanically perfect car at an affordable price."

"Biggest factor is reliability. Never any problems after putting on 46K miles since purchase"

"Looking at what others paid for the same vehicle, feel that we overpaid."

"Rather expensive for the limited models but it's the only one with keyless ignition."

"too expensive for what you are getting, because it is popular they ask a high price."

"I value reliability above all else. The car gets poor gas mileage, is noisey and has a bumpy ride. I cannot figure out how to use the navigation system."

"Excellent value. Bought it used fresh off a lease in outstanding condition. Also had a trade-in that dropped the price further. Very satisfied with car vs. price."

"this car well worth the money I speny"

"Excellent cars, very reliable"

"Overall value, considering price paid compared to the vehicle's features, convenience, and reliability, is excellent."

"Price I was quoted didn't include tax. Good, clean used car."

"At the time of purchase, Toyota was one of the few brands that allowed you to upgrade to the in-dashboard navigation system without requiring you to move up to the highest trim level and/or add high-end packages like a premium sound system. This made a RAV4 with navigation thousands of dollars cheaper than similar small SUVs such as Honda, Mazda, Hyundai, and Kia."

"Very satisfied .."

"asking price was to high"

"Because of my age, it is difficult for me to spend more for a car than I did on my first house. Overall, compared to other vehicles looked at, I was able to get what I wanted in a car."

"Reliability is great."

"I leased this vehicle."

"Toyota certainly stopped trying and is resting on its laurels, any comparable competitor model (i.e. Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda CR-V, etc) is better equipped than this."

"After leasing for two years, dealership didn't really give me a good deal. It is a solid vehicle with the usual Toyota reliability."

"I was sold too many options which drove up the price about $7,000 more than it should have been."

"I bought RAV4 through the Costco car buying service, but, sleazy dealership didn't give a better deal than any other customer."

"Extremely reliable with sufficient power and comfort. Has retained resale value."

"Very reliable, economical, sporty small suv to own and drive. Can't understand why anyone wouldn't want one, except for people with money to 'burn' foolishly like so many Americans do. Like the 'POTUS' says … sad."

"While it is a base model the car does have nice features such as bluetooth so I can make calls hands free while driving. The back up camera displays on the touch screen which is a nice size. The car does have nice acceleration for a 4 cylinder, but still goes 25 miles on a gallon of gas."

"We were experiencing more road noise that we liked, but after buying new tires recently, that problem has disappeared. That set of tires gave us over 60,000 of use, but needed replacing due to improper alighnment."

"Like the other Toyota vehicles I’ve owned, the RAV4 has performed wonderfully for the past four years and 75,000 miles with no major issues. The only non-routine maintenance I’ve had to have done was for a torque converter issue, and in that case I received notice from Toyota that they had discovered some vehicles had the defect and as such they were extending their warrantee for related issues. The repair was performed through the dealership and completely covered at no cost to me."

"Good economic car"

"Reliability is main value for the money"

"This vehicle is an excellent value for its price, considering its reliability."

"Good -reliability, good fuel economy, lots of storage, retains value. bad _ I would have preferred greater control of options without going to the limited model (lane departure, emergency autobraking etc."

"Great value. Highly recommended."

"Purchased new at Carmax Kenosha, very poor service, never buy from Carmax again, change to another authorized Toyota dealer, very pleased with service and Toyota. Would never buy any car from CarMax again, new, used, or free."

"Good quality vehicle at a reasonable price."

"Had it four years, and nothing, nothing has gone wrong. That is why we purchased the car. Unbelievable."

"Cheap car nothing fancy. Don't like the ride or the seats for comfort"

"4 wheel drive for this winter driving. Great capacity for hauling stuff and light trailering. Really smooth ride and response. GPS too small to be safely monitored. Disappointed compared to Prius Prime."

"This vehicle is very reliable and nimble on the road. Great value for 23K"

"Very reliable and low cost to maintain."

"four years of service and economy with zero problems."

"Inexpensive to operate and have serviced."

"I am very happy with the car to date - no problems at all, just standard maintenance. We typically keep our cars for 10-12 years and at this point I expect we will be able to do that with this car."

Almost all of our miles are highway miles from interstates state highways. lots of gravel roads. Our RAV4 goes reliably wherever we want to go."

"Car retains value better than other makes. Very dependable automobile that meets all our needs."

"I was able to get the top of the Rav 4 line with all the technology I wanted. Toyota is a very reliable car.. I feel safe when driving this car that it is not going to have mechanical problems."

"I believe it's a fair value; if I had more money I'd buy comparable vehicle with Lexus. Actually, I'd like to know if the Lexus is that much better and worth the extra money vs. the top version of the RAV4."

"Got a very good deal on this vehicle and it's always handy to have for hauling items."

"Price equal value"

"Excellent vehicle for the money. It's big enough to haul what I need, yet a smaller SUV so is easier to park in tighter places."

"Excellent short & long distance gas mileage, superb reliability (no major repairs and just now buying tires), no body problems; seats could have a bit more lumbar support"

"Excellent"

"The RAV 4 was actually less expensive than the Camry. It's a good car for the money."

"Much trouble with Entune. New radio"

"I think that is Rav 4 is very nice looking. The styling seems to flow. To me it is very pleasing to the eye."

"I hate the sliding console lid! My dogs especially hate it! Please get rid of it. I've tried to find ways to disable it but haven't found anything yet, short if using duct tape."

"Do not like the fabric on the seats. Show everything and are hard to clean."

"I just like the way it looks outside, and the interior is very nice, although the ride is a little loud."

"it looks like every other small suv. I want unique for the brand."

"To me, the styling on most modern Toyota products goes from odd (Toyota Camry's angry face) to downright ugly (Prius). In contrast, the RAV4 is actually nice looking - wedgy profile with a good mix of straight edges and curves, and lacking Toyota's usual indulgence in strange angles and overly styled body lines."

"I like the sporty style of my rav4 and the color (charcoal Gray"

"good lines"

"like and use the back lift for shopping, gardening supplies; sound system is better outfitted"
