Love my 2009 RAV

Want another newer one. Love it better than any other SUV I’ve seen or driven. I love the seating, the way it hugs the road, large space in the back. I want to trade it in for another newer RAV. Not necessarily a new one.

My 2009 Toyota RAV4

This has been the best most comfortable car I've ever owned. I have hardly had to do any major repairs on it. Just basic maintenance with tires and brakes etc. It is a very high quality well made car. Right now it has about 110,000 miles on it, and I hope to take it to 200! Great car!

Love my car!

This has been the best car ever! It is comfortable and dependable. If I ever need another car, it will be a Toyota Rav-4. Just wish they still made a V-6. This vehicle will probably last until I am too old to drive!

Good car

This has been a great car with no trouble. The only thing wrong with this car is that when the tire icon comes on, there is no way to tell if it is the spare tire on the back or one of the working tires. It is critical to know which tire is the problem before driving the car. Otherwise, great car and I am still driving it.

An excellent vehicle I highly recommend!

The RAV is an awesome vehicle all around! I think the RAV stsnds for REALLY AWESOME VEHICLE! My RAV is 14 years young, and is reliable, fun, drives & runs great. I have never had any issues with this car. I just wish that Toyota would make the rear window open either up or down. Siince it is an SUV, it is used to carry items, as I had to carry a roll of lineoum 10x12 feet, I had to put the passenger window down to fit.

2009 Rav4 V6 Limited

This has been an extremely reliable car (of course it is a Toyota). The V6 really gives it a lot of performance and allows for light towing (3,500 lbs.). The road noise is acceptable, handling very good, and appointments very good. I don't love the Toyota Navigation. For a small SUV in its price range, I feel it is a very good value.

Reliable but only getting larger in size

Toyota has recently dropped in ratings as far as maintenance & reliability, but still one of the top 3. I've owned Rav4s since my first in 2002, which was what I would consider a "small SUV." However, each subsequent generation gets larger and larger, to where I will not buy a Rav4 when it's time for a new car. So aside from an increase in recalls (which is happening across the board, with an increase in "computer" systems in cars) my only complaint is that Rav4s are no longer a small/compact SUV, and Toyota does not offer anything smaller in the SUV category.

2009 Rav4

Even tho we bought this car used, the previous owner had it serviced by Parker Toyota and it is in impeccable condition. Well worth the money. Looks great, rides fairly smooth. Love the hidden cubby in the very back.

Been a good vehicle

I have over 160,000 miles on this car so far and have not had any major problems. I keep up with the required maintenance. It has been very reliable and I hope to keep it a lot longer. It is paid for so I want it to run as long as possible.

Great little Rav4

Used mostly for around town but just finished a vacation trip and my one issue with this car is road noise. By providing this vehicle with good routine maintenance and using synthetic oil, my goal is to keep her around a very long time.

100K and going strong with a few design issues

Have had this 2009 RAV4 Limited AWD since new. Been extremely reliable. Only significant maintenance costs have been brakes. Needed all new calipers (4) at 100K miles. Expensive repair. But otherwise just normal wear and tear and oil changes. Only a few design issue complaints. Windshield wipers float (reduce pressure) above 60 MPH making them less effective on freeways. Another issue is that the windshield wiper blades can accumulate thick ice driving in winter hard snowing conditions. Windshield wiper defrosters would have been a good option. The most disconcerting issue is when the anti-lock brakes keep you from stopping. Seriously brake pedal does nothing except chatter from anti-lock brake system pulsating. Only happens in very rare conditions, deep slush with snow packed road. Happened twice and we go skiing a lot. Very scary to step on pedal and car doesn't brake at all. Other cars around us are stopping and we aren't. It also happened on a Highlander we had.

2009 Rav4

This has been a very reliable car. Comfortable, slightly noisy. The fit and finish is very good. After 11 years, the paint looks like new. The interior has held up very well. The layout is very convenient and accessible.

Great car

Not the best gas mileage, but I have the V6. A little more road noise than i like. That being said, it is unbelievably reliable, cost-effective, and dependable. I have spent no extra money in maintaining this car.

Rav 4

I love my little Rav 4, comfortable enough to feel like a car but it pulls my pop-up tent trailer like a dream.

A Lack of Corporate Responsibly for the Cars They Sell

Terrible roof paint peeling defect from the factory. Toyota refused to pay for total repainting. It was a recall issue that Toyota refused to acknowledge. There was substantial proof from numerous 2009 RAV4 owners. The Toyota Service Motto is a “huge corporate lie”.
