Wow, what an upgrade.

I drove a 2004 5-speed Nissan Xterra SE. Manual everything, this RAV4 is smarter than I am before you even turn the key. I am pleased with the price, the quality of the vehicle, and the establishment I bought from. I had combed the net for what I had to choose from with my budget and my wants. I was all set to test drive everything and then decide. Honestly, my first test drive hit all my needs and most of my wants within reason. I asked myself, why wait. I know what I want. So I didn't and I couldn't be happier.

Really Fun Car

My first vehicle not a work truck. Rav 4 is great. Just a few wish list items. I wish it had vents in the back seat. The car has good acceleration but it would be nice to have a more powerful engine. Would also like a small side compartment in the back to put things in. Like a gallon of milk. Looking forward to many adventures in the AWD car. Handles very nice and good visibility. Looks much better with black rims.

love our Rav 4

This is a great car and so fun to drive. Great gas mileage and quiet on the road Far exceeds what I was expecting from the Rav 4. Good stereo system too.

Nice reliable/great mileage

Jus want to say, I was looking for a 6 cylinder and the Toyota dealer had me drive the Toyota Rav-4 4cylinder. Very impressed with the get up and go...I will have owned the vehicle for 2 years at end of February, and all ready have 30k miles on it. Love everything, shape, size, get up and go, gas mileage, really moves around corners and such and fast smooth ride, only wish I would have upgraded to the Sirius and Maps...and the place I went to took our rv for trade in....But do have question, Was getting my 30k oil changed and driving home, I heard this bank and looked in side mirror and myrubber strip that goes under the luggage rack was dangling....Called where I just came from and they said it is glued/sticky on....Any one else have that problem???

Rav 4 fits our needs!

The rav 4 carries my husband's wheelchair. I am (68 yrs old) able to pack the car for a trip, close the hatch, roll the electric wheelchair up the little flip down attatched shelf thing, fasten the straps, and get that all held down. My husband can get in and out of either front or back seat unaided. The height of the seat, and door opening are just right. The seat adjustmenting system works well. We are both comfortable for longer rides. I like the blue tooth, radio, and silly things like the outside temperature. The light coming on to remind me of low fuel is nice.

Best Car I've Ever Owned, EVER!

This may read like another typical review of this vehicle, but the hype is real with this car! It really is perfect for anyone who likes driving SUVs or needs an AWD car. It's super reliable and dependable, has a really comfortable interior, plenty of cargo space, a TON of cool accessories, great gas mileage, and on top of that the exterior looks amazing without looking too flashy. The only con is the acceleration could be a bit better on the highway. It's not impressive when it comes to acceleration but it doesn't struggle to accelerate either. Other than that you get what you pay for with this vehicle!

A great car.

I love this car! It has a lot of room for my family to sit comfortably. The only thing I wish I had was more USB hook ups.

Unbeatable price

Mr Cars made me feel great about making a purchase on a Rav 4 . Joe was considerate and respectful of my needs in this car. The price was unbeatable!!! He did an amazing job to find the perfect car for me. I just signed and walked out of there with a smile. I will definitely do business with them again and I highly recommend that you visit this place before making your purchase!

A strong, heavy, very safe feeling car

This is the car I been wanting for awhile now. AWD, so it will be good in New England during the winter. It has more leg room front and back than much more expensive SUV's
