2013 RAV4 XLE

The RAV4 XLE is a great value for the money. Looking for a smaller SUV, this is it. 2013 and newer has so many more options, from Bluetooth to a backup camera.

Great styling and reliability

Reliable vehicle with spacious and well laid out interior. Good gas mileage. Put a hitch on it and planning to tow a small boat and installed bike rack. Great family car.

I am loving my choice!

I was able to test drive three vehicles and purchased the Toyota Rav4 XLE! Love this vehicle! It handles well, very comfortable, nice interior and great on gas. The navigation and bluetooth ability is definitely a plus! The ECO or Sport mode option when driving is excellent! One of my better decisions in purchasing a vehicle.

Great car for the money

I've only had this car for a little bit but so far it's been great. Great on gas for a crossover SUV, looks sharp, handles well and has that Toyota reliability! A lot more spacious than it looks from the outside. The AWD will be handy once winter hits again in here in the midwest. It is a quiet ride also! Great little car all around. So far so good.

Somewhat disappointed

I leased a standard model RAV4 three years ago, and when deciding whether to take the car I was bothered by dumb changes they have made to the interior, plus I wasn't thrilled with the exterior design either. And today I feel the same way. For instance, they moved the cup holders so that one is under the dash making it hard to get out. There is no longer a tray in the mid-seat compartment. There is still a compartment over the glove box, but they omitted the door that would go over it. There is no light over the front cup holder and adjacent areas. To turn on the overhead lights you have to feel around for a switch instead of just tapping on the light as before. Etc. All pretty annoying if you've owned an earlier RAV4. Door keys on the earlier model design you could easily feel the buttons, whereas the new style you cannot. I'm not crazy about the lift-up rear door, but that's just me. These things still annoy me after three years of having the car, so much so that I'm thinking of trading down to an earlier model. Performance is good, including the new transmission. It's still a good vehicle, I just think they made some real mistakes in the design. I would have given the car higher reliability rating if I had not had to do a near-complete brake job a few days ago.

Navigation screen

I own a 2014 rav4 limitted. After 2 years of using the nav screen keeps on rebooting. When i went to toyota to have it fix but the cust service said that they cant fix the screen because it is not a toyota product I was so disappointed. My vehicle is out of warranty and im willing to pay for repair. I will never go for toyota again.

Decent car

I had this car for three years. The road noise was loud but it drove really well in the snow! Overall it was a good car but my family needed something bigger
