Very thrifty and a delight to drive

The car is very comfortable and, on a recent road trip of about 860 miles, I got an average of 35 mpg. I drive in the "Eco" mode. The instrument panel and other controls are intelligently laid out, and the GPS system works perfectly. Also, the "blind side avoidance" feature is great and has already saved me from one accident. It ought to be standard equipment on every car. I also like the space for my iPhone and the various connections for electronic equipment.

Pretty high tech and still on my first tank of gas

Great improvement over my old RAV4; much nicer inside and out, much better mileage. Safety features on the Limited are a big improvement.

total opinion changer

I began my search 3 months ago as my lease was expiring. I tested just about every crossover/suv's out there. A friend told me to try through rav4.i did, then tested the rav4 hybrid. I went back 4 times. I was so impressed with this vehicle. The ride, handling, seating position and frankly everything. So, I bought it. I had a subaru outback which is a fine car but the seat comfort was horrible so I began my search, and it ended with a car that I initially didn't even consider. The rav4 limited hybrid iss exactly what I was looking for. Plus, the styling is outstanding, as is the ease of entering and exiting. I must add the salesman was informative and helpful.

2017 Toyota Rav4 a Winner

The Rav4 is a peppy, quiet and comfortable vehicle. I have been a Prius owner for 6 years and love the Toyota Hybrids. The Rav4 is an impressive big brother to the Prius. The 2011 Prius has more storage features in the middle console and the glove box has two hatches rather than an open shelf and one hatch as in the Rav4. The parking brake in the Rav4 is the "old" style handle pull in the middle console--which takes up more room. My husband is tall and we find it difficult to find a passenger seat that goes up and down to accommodate. It would be great if Toyota would put in the up and down passenger seat feature in all of their vehicles. All in all, the Rav4 is a winner...but, Toyota could make just a couple of tweaks to make it a BIG winner in our book!

It's new I love it!

My 2017 RAV4 is a dream to drive. It corners well rides smoothly and it has all the options I love. I especially like the lane detector, the adjustable speed control and the safety features are amazing. The gas mileage is satisfactory and the ride is comfortable yet sturdy The RAV4 seems is a car that lets me see all of the road yet rides as comfortable as most cars. Let's go travel!
