Bought used in 2018.

Bought used in 2018. Car has been incredibly reliable. Besides one brake job, one set of tires, and one battery I have not done anything except oil changes. Not even a taillight.

A lot of the other reviews go over build quality,

A lot of the other reviews go over build quality, features, comfort, etc.. Briefly I will say after being in this car for almost 9 years: the car (especially the XLE/sport model) is on the stiffer side and can be harsh. The upside is that it feels incredibly planted and there is minimal body roll. It is easy fun to take on windy roads with the "Sport" setting, which further tightens the ride. Road noise is not the best. Wind and tire noise is om the louder side. Materials are nothing super premium in the XLE, but the interior is built like a tank and has held up well. No electrical issues. The engine and transmission are fantastic. The small 4 cylinder makes the car sporty with 187 HP and it is also silent. It has a pleasant sound when accelarating and you hardly hear it. The transmission is a 6 speed, but is overall good. Smooth shifting in both sport and city driving. Reliability-wise this car has been absolutely fantastic. The car has been lazily maintained and is currently at 220,000 miles. It still drives and shifts very smoothly. This car is a sportier crossover. It is a good choice for somebody who wants more sport compared to say a CRV. It is and has been proven to be reliable though.

Love mine

I love my Rav 4. No problems at all. Granted I am a 70-year-old granny but totally worth it in all respects. Perfect size for me too

Dangerous and uncomfortable.

The car could use more power. The driver seat back is at a poor angle side by side. The car will automatically apply the front brakes in certain turns at normal speeds. This becomes dangerous in clover leaf exits. The Toyota dealer can't fix.

Expensive to maintain. Noisy.

Transmission, Transfer case, differential fluid changes $800. Water pump failed at 79k, $750. Road noise at highway speeds intrusive, can't carry on a conversation in the passenger compartment.

What is wrong with the 2015 RAV4

I have to jump start the battery in winter and now in the Texas heat. I received a letter from headquarters that I needed to get the battery and installation checked/repaired. In Odessa Texas the dealership said no. The recall was a mistake yet I had to jump it 7/7/22.

I am very disappointed in the 2015 Toyota Rav

in 2020 my Toyota Rav 2015 model- was constantly in the shop getting fixed. The bottom of the dash needs to be reconfigured. While getting in the car, my knee bumps the bottom of the dashbord. There are power windows but no power seats.
