Our rav4 rocks: best vehicle we've ever owned!
Our rav4 is very comfortable and quiet. We get really good miles per gallon for an SUV (over 30 mpg). The vehicle is very reliable in that we have not had any problems. The features on our limited edition provide lots of comfort and convenience. We would definitely buy this model of vehicle again in a few years. However, given the reliability, we may be able to drive our current vehicle for another 10-15 years.

Toyota reliability, nice styling, & the features/options made this a great buy.
Gas mileage is excellent. It was our first hybrid vehicle and we can go 3-4 weeks before having to fill up again. Getting the options has made this a great buy, especially the surround-view and the navigation system. Toyota should include a truck cover, but that is a pet peeve of mine.

Best deal for the miles on gas, hybrid is here to stay.
I like how it saved me money because the gas was used less in the city because drive to work. I like it it has the Bluetooth because I am on the phone a lot. Also it will text people and read sms. I like all the features on this car, the auto back door opens and the GPS helps me get to places.

The vehicle that has it all and everything I want in a vehicle.
My Toyota rav4 hybrid is very reliable and very spacious. I drive it to work every day and it is very fuel efficient. I like that it has a rear view camera for backing up and a push button start engine. I am very amaze with its safety measures and it will alarm me if I forget the keys in the car or forget to turn off the engine. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone.

Durable, fun, reliable, and sporty.
Gas mileage is wonderful! I like how it handles on snow and ice much better than a Prius, which is the car I previously owned. I drive a lot for work and this car has needed very little maintenance even with the high amount of miles I have put on the car.

You will be happy with your purchase.
None so far. It is the car I always wanted. It is quiet and I haven't had any problems yet. I would recommend to anybody that wants a hybrid for a car. I also love that I got a lot of mileage. I am not having to fill up as much! I am sticking to this car model for years to come.

The great gas mileage and safety features.
The Toyota rav4 hybrid SUV runs great never any problems. Excellent gas mileage 30 mpg in winter and 27 mpg in summer. Ride is very comfortable for me and I am 6 foot tall. I love to drive it and love the safety devices it has. Keep me in my lane and back up sensors and warning sensor for vehicles in front of my SUV.

Negative Owner Reviews

Safe car to drive and reliable and easy to drive.
Windshield wipers are recalled a lot and maintenance light is always on. Tires and break needed replacement. Air conditioning has broken twice but otherwise it is a good car and it drives well. The seats are comfy and it is the perfect size and a safe car to drive.

Features go both ways on this vehicle.
This car that is the car that I drive is called Toyota rav4. This car is very good but not perfect. I got blue color because I like the color of blue. The features include a nice radio and touchscreen with many apps. This is both positive and negative as it is very useful to me for using features of apps. But it is also distracts on the road and actually caused the crash and the death of a sibling. However it is overall pretty good.

Overall convenience of the car model Toyota rav4.
My vehicle is very reliable and has great performance. It is very comfortable and I am satisfied with all of its features. The car was purchased by me in 2017 and it still serves as a great car. It is overall a great car that I hope others will consider to purchase too.

Great longevity and performance.
I have had no problems with reliability or performance. I have driven it long distance across the country and the gas mileage has been great. The trunk space is substantial. The only thing I would change is the interior from cloth to leather. I currently have over 75,000 miles on the car and just had to replace the brakes for the first time.
