Safe and reliable

Great SUV. Great features for any parent on the "go". Comfort for any passenger. Can load so many things into spacious trunk. Easy to clean. Easy to manage. Low in maintenance, and great for longevity of vehicle.

Rav4

Great car & exceeds the function ability. I'm always glad to be back in my vehicle after it's gone for service!! I've owned another Rav4 back in 2010 as a lease and had great luck with it, so when I was able to afford another one, it was greatly needed at the time as well.

I love my Rav 4 2012...never want to give up the 6 cylinder...keeps me from looking at the new Rav 4's! Toyota--Please give the Rav4 a 6 cylinder again! I don't know what else to say except I have loved my car since day 1!

Best bang for your buck for a small suv/crossover

Nearly 240k miles and not a single issue other than a crankshaft position sensor replacement recently. Not an exhilarating ride but very practical and reliable. While not recommend, I’ve pulled a 6x10 trailer heaping over with wet mulch several times, and it did a good job. The 2.5l is just a plain ole naturally aspirated engine, but it’s a champ.

2012 Toyota RAV-4 V6

I love my RAV-4 - this is my second Blizzard Pearl Limited V6 (2006 and 2012). I want a new RAV-4, but hate the thought of possibly losing the horse power and the snow plow power of my two RAV's for a 4 cylinder. Since Toyota just repainted my 2012 free of charge because of a Blizzard Pearl paint primer issue, I don't have to worry about trading her anytime soon. But honestly, with the way both RAV's have performed, plus the way Toyota stands behind their products, I cannot imagine looking at a different auto maker.

Excellent Vehicle to drive

Very nice to drive, overall comfortable. So far transmission and engine performance is good. Low maintenance cost but some modern features are missing such as Sunroof, Backup Camera and apple car play with monitor is missing.

RAV4 2012

Bought it new in 2013 it's been a great car. Has the 4cyl. in it. I've had little trouble with it. Went for 7 years before I had to replace the battery . Two sets of tires and brakes buy 97000 miles plus the things you should do. It's been a great SUV

Dependable and runs great

I’m glad I bought the Rav 4 in 2014. No rattles on the PA rough roads. It’s a dependable suv and I put it through a lot. I work with the suv 5 days a week. I put it through its paces on a usps rural route.

This is my second Rav4. I love this vehicle!

I love my Rav 4 for so many reasons. I like that it rides high on the road. I like the comfy ride. I like that it fits five people comfortably. The trunk is so large and useful--I can fit so much in it and it easily carries gardening supplies. The Rav4 does great mileage. It is such a dependable vehicle--My first RAV4 did over 250,000 miles and needed no major repairs. This one had a paint problem. And then it was rammed by a huge stag which jumped over the hedge and hit and broke the front end and the windshield and the air conditioning, but apart from that-- the car is still going strong all these years later.

Great Riding and engine

I love this car. The Limited edition as I am a luxury gal and love leather. Maintain the engine and it will ride forever. Had some engine noise like a diesel engine and found to have a broken hose to radiator and valve leak of oil. Caught in the nick of time. Lots of room back seat folds down.

Rav 4

Love my Rav! Have had it two years. It did have a starter problem but we got it taken care of. My only complaint is that it is noisy.

Versatile Rav 4

The Rav 4 is an extremely reliable car. In the dnow it handles extremely well The interior space with the fold down back seats is perfect for transporting larger items It is a comfortable car to drive but the seats could be a bit more supportive in your back It handles very well on the road in every condition I do miss some of the luxury of other SUV's

Love the car but not the tires!

I only have less than 18000 miles on it and the tires are wearing too quickly i think. I drive like a little ol lady so i dont understand this. I was led to believe the tires would be good to go under normal driving conditions for 30,000 miles. With winter approaching. This is concerning to me.

2012 Rav-4

Tested against Honda CRV and Subaru Forester. RAV-4 was the roomiest of the three, VERY comfortable front seats. Car handles well on the open road. Gas mileage is so-so. Like most Toyotas, it lacks soul, pizzazz, however you want to call it. Interior is a bit chintzy. Still glad we bought it after three years of ownership. Hope it lasts until I have to quit driving (I'm 66 now), perhaps another 18-20 years.

Love my Rav4. In fact it's my second one.

I love my Rav4, however my husband has always been disappointed in the volume of road noise and the gas mileage. I average about 23.9. I doubt he'll let me buy a third.
