A pleasure to drive

We really didn't need a new (for us) vehicle but visited the dealer with a friend who was in the market. She asked me to drive this Rav4 hybrid and I was so impressed with its smoothness, quiet and features that we bought it. Our older Rav4 (2005) is much noisier by comparison and we really loved it until now.

Best car we have owned

We love this SUV. It is so comfortable and I love all the xtra's. I am so glad we purchased it. It is a pearl white. We love the toyota brand, the size, comfort and quietness. It is easy to get into and out of. We love everything about it.

Incredible gas mileage

I swear it’s indestructible. I’ve put my rav through a lot and she still works so well, no problems! I even forgot to change the oil once and went 10,000 miles in between changes and the car is fine! I don’t know how, and the suspension holds great too! I had it for two years it was hard to let go of, it’s so reliable great in the snow and it starts really quietly.

Stylish and reliable vehicle that fits my needs.

I just purchased this vehicle. I have only driven it on my test drive and home then home. So far it has met my expectations and has been great!

Great Car

After owning 12 Toyota Camry's, I decided to try a RAV4/Hybrid. I love it! I like the size of the car and the handling in all kinds of weather and conditions. It is comfortable and roomy and the mileage is excellent. Above all, it has Toyota reliability.

It's truely a great car.

Bought this for the wife its AWD good ground clearance as all. I take it down mild 4x4 trails to test the AWD system I also get it muddy its never gotten stuck yet. Wife would kill me if I told her about it. Love the hybrid engine shuts off in stop and go traffic and at stop lights and under soft acceleration. I also raced against another Rav4 non-hybrid AWD and the hybrid just walked away from it. A little disappointed in the mpg for a hybrid would expect it to get better but around city it always says 22mpg but highway is 36 to 40mpg not bad. But, city MPG is disappointing but thats really the only down fall. It's fun to drive and to speed around twisty roads and to feel the AWD system work its even funner doing it on dirt roads the traction control off. I've been wanting to put bumper bars on the front and back but can't find any that have sensor mounts included. But, its a great buy not cheap though but not insanely expensive.

Will never buy again.

My 2004 Tahoe and 2011 charger have better options. No cd player, no Android auto, no autostart. Overpriced. Road noise drowns out the radio. Absolutely hate it.

First Car!

To be honest, this is the first car I have owned; however, I travel a lot for work and have driven hundreds of rental cars. So far the car is great! It drives smoothly, gets great gas mileage, is super comfortable and sleek. Big fan!!
