2012 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

I've been a Toyota person forever. Prior to this SUV, I had a Yaris - which is fantastic on gas. I needed a vehicle for the snow, plus a larger one for my dogs. I absolutely love my SUV, roomy enough, and it sits high enough (like a truck) so I can see past the vehicle ahead of me. It rides so smootlhly and I can't wait to use all the gadgets I've never had before in a car. For a larger vehicle that I am used to - it is doing exceptionally well on gas. (I average 26.5 mpg) This is in the city - mind you. This is also the first vehicle I've had which is automatic. I have to remind myself not to shift & not to clutch. Other than this, I love my new Rav-ioli.

Got tired of poor quality of gm dealers. Tired of their shoddy service and excuses. Bought Toyota. Best personal service of dealers and sales. Most courteous and genuine. WONT GO BACK TO GM.

It took me a long time to settle on and buy exactly what I wanted. The Toyota Rav 4 Sport V6. It's fun to drive, surprisingly quick and responsive, looks amazing (sport w/appearance package) and toyota's reliability is bar none. I wish that they offered navigation systems in the other models besides the limited, but I'll just have to use the maps on my smart phone. Great all round, 4 seasons car.

It is what I wanted and thank the dealer for making it possible. Love the way it drives and the way it looks.

I bought RAV4 Sport, ride is awful and the back seat is really tight and bumpy... if you driving by yourself, I guess it?s O.K.. it?s not good for family ride. First couple of years I use to get good gas mileage, then it?s drop to around 17-19 miles? I change oil every 3k, even though MFG. recommended at 5K. If I wait till 5K there won't be any oil to change, it burn about 1-1/2 QT every 1000 miles? AWFUL. I took 3 times to the dealer to fix, but they said it's normal. What I am hearing and reading almost all the TOYOTA cars are BURNING OIL like crazy. Now I just add oil every other month, seems like I made a big mistake buying the RAV4,, after 4-recall I think I am done with TOYOTA!!

I love this car and the stylish new look. I have the sport and it's a beautiful SUV. Must have........

the 97 rav 4 is sweet with no problems other than normal service which is expected so we added a new one to the family which is the 2012 rav4 limited and passed on the 4 wheel drive and 6 cylinder as we live in Florida and wanted the best millage and did not have the need for a 6 or 4x4 as our new 2012 rav has more power than the 97 which is fine everywhere fully loaded with camp equipment except for going up mountains where I could not even meet the 55 mph speed limit so expect the new rav to hanndle that even better

Since last few weeks I am enjoying my new 2012 Toyota RAV4 Sport 4WD, it is really a nice vehicle. Bluetooth works great, Fuel wise is also very echonomical, drive smooth.

This is the 2nd RAV 4 I've Owned. Traded in a 2002 Model RAV 4 for the 2012 Model. It's quite different and I still love it. It's larger, roomier and still great to handle. I especially like the roomier back seat and the larger cargo area. Looked at some competitor's vehicles but came back to the RAV 4 mostly for the reliability and great value.

This is the best car i ever own, I always wanted it. If I didnt get it I woudnt feel right. When you really want something you have to go for it!!
