1.) Seats maybe be uncomfortable on long trips
2.) touchscreen radio might act up sometimes,
3.) Ruff drive off road,
4.) Electric Steering feels lightweight
5.) Not enough space in backseat for tall person
This could have easily been a 4 minute video , thanks hope i saved you 8 minutes
I’ll tell ya right now, I’ve had a Ford Escape and now have a RAV4. Love love love my rav4 wouldn’t change a thing about it!
Lol sound like me I just got my rav4 Saturday
I here u I just got my rav4 limited I love rav4 sometimes I find myself staring it down love the way it handle I fill secured driving it
I'm 6'3" 200lbs and this is one of the MOST comfortable cars for long trips. I make a 7-9 hour trek every couple of weeks and NEVER have back, neck, or hip issues. BUT, EVERYONE is different. If you are on the heavier side, then MAYBE this car could give you issues. I have REALLY good posture and this car actually supports good posture, unlike most I have driven.
Again, EVERYONE is different. Some seats that others rave about, I just can't stand. I do appreciate the heads up/warning on that. I wish more people would pay attention to the seat. It's one of the more important aspects of a car and definitely at the tops for overall comfort.
To give you an idea, I rented over 40 cars in about 6 months for work. I was SUB'd this one because they ran out of what I wanted. I was so impressed, I rented it for pleasure for a long trip. Then in about a month, I bought one.
I have this exact car and it is absolutely amazing. I can drive through a foot of snow without even trying. the rear trunk space is phenomenal
How many large luggages can Rav4 fit?
I love everything about mine. At 6' 205 lbs the seats fit me perfect, compared to other vehicles I've owned.
Toyotas are made to be reliable, economical, practical and easy to maintain. The most important things to most consumer. If you're looking for anything else in a car, it's not for you.
To address the comfort part, you'll feel unconfortable in any car after a short amount of time. That's why you take breaks.
Nah bro, my crown vic is comfy all the time
I can drive my old ass 08 Navigator 6 hours straight no problem. Well I am 5'9" 165
I put 81k miles on mine since buying one new late 2016. The thing is bulletproof, easily the most solid commuter SUV I have driven in a long time. If you drive aggressively, I recommend upgrading the brake rotors.
I've been driving my 2017 RAV4 Limited Hybrid about 6 weeks. Got a great deal as the local dealership was motivated to move cars off the lot. My previous two cars were Honda Accords. Coming right from the Accord, I agree with the reviewer's assessment that the RAV4 road feedback and steering feel are light. But you know what? I've gotten used to it and both the subtle road feel and light steering now seem normal to me.
I absolutely do not agree with the statement that the Sport button does nothing to change the steering. The Sport definitely makes the steering "heavier" and more responsive in my RAV4. I don't know what may have been going on with the reviewer's model to not allow him to notice a difference.
I love my RAV4 as much as I loved my two Accords.
What I hate about the Honda CRV. 1)Turbo sounds like the engine is ready to break 2) CVT will not outlast Toyota 6 speed transmission
First time I ever see a video with almost as many dislikes than likes... Just saying.
my partner is 6ft 4, and very comfortable in all the rav range of cars, even tried out a mk1 we found, so the height thing no problem, Its all about individuality.
My mom has a RAV4 2017, and she lives in a Latin American country with worse roads than in North America. She said that it drives amazingly smooth, almost like floating. She doesn't have a complaint about that.
I watched this when I first got my 2018 rav4 LE but now after almost 3 years of owning it I’ll let y’all know I feel about it. As I said I own a 2018 Rav4 LE has almost 50k miles the things I love about it is that it’s really comfortable the cloth seats held up really nicely no rips and the interior held up really well being from Florida sand rain mud wet boots are common. Paint looks good plastic isn’t showing all that much fading except the mirror plastic you can see I guess the clear coat or something kinda wearing off, and the very top of my headlights are yellowing just a tiny bit but headlights always do that no matter what so I’m not worried about it. The only thing I don’t like about my rav4 is the actual carpet it’s like soft material then kinda like strings of “carpet” kinda hard to explain what it looks like but the floor mats are great from keeping it any more wore down looking. I drive 90 in the highway most of the time and did a trip from Sarasota county to Jacksonville gas mileage was great and again the seats are comfortable. A really well rounded suv definitely will be buying a higher end limited rav4 when the time comes for a new car.
Is your 2018 made in Japan?
Only thing i don't like about the rav4 is why that exhaust pipe connect the muffler so low. its like that exhaust pipe taking much of the ground clearance of that rav4.
I drove this car all the way from Toronto to Florida and it was fine. But I agree with you about the navigational system, they should change it
I just bought 2017 rav4 LE and drove 5 hours and thought it was very comfy seating. I agree the screen and radio arent the best set up but nothing to complain about. The ride quality is great I thought, maybe you have been in to many luxury 4x4s and are spoiled. The steering is great, this is not a subaru wrx sti stop being so picky. I think you are a bad driver, you had to stop and back up in your video for not stopping at a stop sign or light soon enough, proof enough there. I also thought the for being small suv, it had great seating space. Especially after seeing how small back seats are in any modern car.
I just bought an 18 RAV4 and I drive a semi for a living. I hope the RAV4 is comfortable for my 350 mile trips to visit my dad
@@LukeO-1234 I've taken mine further and had no issues
@@idahohermitphotography2075 awesome! I look forward to my trip memorial day weekend. I have an 06 Camry that I've been using for those trips
As long as McDonald's doesn't screw up my order at the drive-thru, I don't care what car I drive. I drove a Nissan Sentra from California to NY. I sold it In NY and flew home.
lol..okay.. so I literally bought this used TODAY... and with a great deal of hesitation.. I thought.. push play. I must say.. almost exactly height and weight the same ( I dont think I have the same self issues though lol.. ) But, luckily NONE of these issues bother me at all.. whew. Nice breakdown.. just not issues I care about.
My wife has an old 2002 RAV4 and she just got a 2018 RAV4. Her big complaint is the seats in the new RAV4 too. She's considering having me unbolt the driver seat in the old RAV4, which she finds comfortable, and swapping with the new car.
Parsanally I also het fog light, it would better whole light in triangle shape instead round and additional black thing filled area where round cannot cover
I test drove the Rav4 SE and found it better
Please let me know what mpg you was getting while you was driving your both Rav4. I just bought 2014 model with 42K and very disappointed.. only getting 22mpg... I checked my spark plugs. I clean MAF sensor I change the air filter... I'm driving in ECO mode!!! no matter what do, I'm still again 22... my 2014 BMW was getting 28!!! and was flying in it...
Bought a 2017 used with 14K. I'm 5'4" and 190 lbs. We drove 1600 miles and this car had a great bolster seat for me. Really held my bum well. The road noise is bad on rough ones but good on concrete. Our tow vehicle is a 4Runner. The Rav4 is great for trips without the RV. Thanks for the great video but everyone needs to drive one for their body style and decide.
When did you buy it. I am about to buy it now for 18 k .64.783 miles. Do you think it worthy It’s worthy it
Mine is like driving on a cloud. Excellent suspension. Sounds like your may have some suspension problems with what you described. That's not normal for a 2017 Rav-4
Which one is more comfortable camry seat or rav 4 ? I am 6.3 and I do long trips 16 hours or more
My 17 rav4 hybrid is smooth. The XLE trim has smaller rims with more sidewall on tires than the other trims
I have the 18 inch wheels. You have no choice with the limited. Ride quality is annoyingly hard sometimes. If I still have the car when these tires are worn, I may get a set of 17 in rims.
My 16 rav4 hybrid is also smooth. I have the XLE also. I didn't want the fake leather seats, chrome door handles, and rims/tires that came with the Limited. I'm very happy with the rav4 hybrid XLE!
I don’t want hybrid maybe it costs more expensive repair. I had 18 rav4
Hmm, interesting views. You find the Honda infotainment system to be great while others find it a mess, others think the Toyota system is the best. Not devaluing your opinion at all, just interesting. I guess it all comes to personal taste. I've heard different things about the seats too. Some love them, some hate them. I guess it depends on who you are. The ride quality though, I think really depends on the version you choose. The LE/XLE models have the smaller rims with higher sidewall tires which probably fix the issues you state in this model. I've heard the Hybrid does institute some suspension changes as well (to accommodate the drive system) so its firmer, firmer still with the 18s on the Limited/Platinum. The SE is the least comfortable I think, given its sport suspension. Good reviews though. I don't think my opinion is swayed though, the RAV is certainly the type of car you buy and keep for 10+ years.
Had same problem seat bolster is to tight made my right leg go numb. Had check in hand to buy and tore it up after that.
I agree on the seats. However it didn't take 3-4 hours for my hips to hurt, it took much less time and once they were in pain, everytime I got in the RAV4 they hurt almost instant. Those bolsters put too much pressure on hip joints. I kept the RAV4 for 5 months and got rid of it. Lost a bunch of money, but whoever got it after me got a good deal unless it hurt their hips too.
Same complaint. 2017 RAV4 limited Hybrid here with only 5000 miles. Toyota sent me a questionnaire and I let them know about the seats with the middle cushion that feels like it's sagging after a few months, making the bolsters cut into my hips... painful. In the meantime, I have a thick folded up towel on the seat. Makes a huge difference.
Kay O'Pechtate I had a 15 corolla which has the same seats. It annoyed and hurt my back also. But then after a 12 hour trip to Colorado I figured out the best seat position to help it, I had to lean the seat back a bit more. Also there are these things you can buy that fits at your lower back that helps the lumbar support and those really help too. I am going to Colorado again this winter and your comment reminded me of my corolla so I'll remember to buy that support or fold up a towel like I did last time lol.
Same complaint on our 2011 Rav 4 with leather seats. Hard as a rock and uncomfortable after 20 minutes in the car. I am 5' 10" - 180 pounds.
The ten things I love about Toyota RAV4
I am 6'1" and my knees constantly hit and lowers the dash lights control when I get in and out of the car. Also it turns on and off the lane control. Riding along is ok and not hitting. I drive uber with mine and put 80,000 miles on it in 2020. Great car. Passengers love this car.
I'm 6'3" and have absolutely zero problems. I'm seated comfortably without obstruction or accidentally hitting any buttons, while both driving and entering and exiting the vehicle. Is it possible you have tge seat positions in a less than ideal spot? If you adjusted the seat height, angle, and proximity to the steering column. Maybe you could alleviate your issues. Given me being taller with no issues, and multiple other comments from tall people with no problems. It seems it may be something others than the vehicle itself and it's layout.
What about the lack of rare air conditioning vents
I get to drive my step moms 2017 rav4 and I love the car I drive a 2010 Ford Fusion and driving the rav is one of my favorite things ever😂😂
Very good vid. Don't know if I agree with you in regard to the handling aspects. I actually think the handling aspects are awesome. However, this could be because I'm coming from two compact Nissan Hatchbacks with basically non-existent steering feedback. But, there are instances where I'm reminded that I am in a "small suv." Now, again, this only really occurs when the car is pushed a bit harder than normal, but never the less, I do appreciate the handling of the car. Note, I have the '16 Rav SE, but I don't think the specs differ all that much, if at all in handling specs. Your opinion is welcomed, Shifting Lanes?
The handling isn't "bad" per say, there are just better handling cars in the segment. CX-5 and the CRV are noticeably better.
Yeah, I can see that. Never tested the CRV, but I did cross-shop my car with the CX-5. I like the CX's performance for sure, even the price was a plus, but I ultimately had to give it to the Rav for the options and overall space.
Thing that amazes me is the personal trashing the reviewer received for this clip. Frankly, I appreciated the information he put forth as they are items we should all be aware of as buying influences....even if you don’t agree with him. I have three relatives who own RAV4 and they are happy with them....not sure I would be.
Your steering problem is fixed if you buy the SE model. I’m very happy with the steering in the SE model compared to my old LE.
It seems material to know whether Sujit is 6'1" (somewhat taller than average) or 6'3" (2 standard deviations above the mean)
After driving Rav 4 for few months you get used to it. Seats are ok. Wish they were like Lexus RX. And more powerful engine needed.
What do you mean last day??
Agreed... the seats are the worst for long trips. I had to sell mine in 6 months. Also, the stiff suspension brings up every bump (even the ones you can not see).
My sister owns a Toyota rav4. I hate riding as a passenger in her car when we go out somewhere together. The seats are hard, and uncomfortable, the ride is stiff, and there is a lot of interior noise when driving. She bought her rav4 in 2018, and the quality of interior did not age well. I saw a lot of chipped paint on the plastic dash and doors, the whole interior looks old and worn. That's why when me and my sister go somewhere together I prefer to drive us in my cadillac xt4.
@@vizio6017 Well... there are only 3 things that are smooth in this world: Cadillacs, Crown Royal, and a babies butt. Can't go wrong with the ride, but they do end up in the shop a lot. I know because I do business with a Cadillac dealership and they told me they make more money in the shop than selling cars. I am a Lexus man... but every so often I feel that Toyota roughness. I guess there is no perfect car.
I'm on my second cadillac. My last cadillac, and the cadillac I'm driving now are leases. I trade my leases in after 48,000 miles. I've never had to take any of my cadillacs to the shop for anything other than regular maintenance service.
Selling after 2 months most uncomfortable car I’ve ever driven tbh , also super unpowered with a small fuel tank
I'm 6'3 and 260 lbs and I find this car very comfortable
@Chris Christian The steering wheel position is a little awkward at first, because I used to have a Corolla, but you get used to it.
Wait a couple of years and there will be aftermarket items to make this guy happy. I like my 2018 rav4 alot more then my old jeep
The Rav4 is a great vehicle. It just needs a little more ground clearance. The tailpipe under every Rav4 I've seen hangs down too low. Thanks.
yea thats what i see about the rav4,s the exhaust pipe hangs really low. in snowy weather that pipe might be a issue. im looking at the 2016 mazda cx5 has no pipe hanging issue.
5'6", 200 lbs is not the ideal size for this car. I am 5'9", 158 lbs and I can spend 12 hours driving this car without feeling uncomfortable. Maybe you need an American car that is built for a typical American shape?
You are skinny. I am 5'10, 184 lbs and I have the same complaint as the reviewer. I have a folded up towel on the seat now to keep from being in excruciating pain from the bolsters and the middle cushion that is too soft after only a few thousand miles.
Na this dude is just straight fat i'm 5'9 american and weigh 155 and everyone else i know is pretty similar
I mean, I'm 6'3" and 190 lbs, and I find the seats very comfortable. There is more to just height to weight ratio.
I'm 5'11" and 200lbs, no problem with seats
Dave Poirier im 6 2 and wide and i find them nice they are high and very well padded so...
Okay so i have 2017 in white and the navigation system is so simple and theres no home and stuff theres just a button thst says nav ps i have a subaru too, impreza, and i would prefer to have toyota im 6 foot 2 and wide and i like the seats although the siats in the back are more comfy
Your nuts man I love my 2017 rav4 , this is a great car I don't have one thing I don't hate about my rav. Everyone's diff seats are OK in this, for anyone who wants a rav4 don't listen to this
stefan burke hats off buddy
stefan burke
I am thinking to buy diesel 2.0 litre ... Please advice ??
Rav4 2017 was Ranked bottom in US news review, blaming its sluggish engine, loud sound accelerating,
Oh boy!Rav4 is the best suv i had, but I agree with you about steering wheel feeling; however, overall this is one of the best Suv.
I just picked up a 2017 Toyota Rav4 XLE. Since I like the car so much after a week of driving it, your video was intriguing. I agree with you on the backroads being a bit bumpy at 50+mph (Ave N from 50th E to 90th E in Palmdale, CA). I can feel all the little road repairs, and the absorption of the compensation, but I'm glad it's not floaty. The steering wheel feels tight and responsive enough (not as tight as Ford Escape, which I test drove). I didn't have any trouble with your other points, although I'm about your same size, and haven't done a long road trip yet. OK, two minor things that bug me though... At night, when I turn off the headlights, so I don't shine them into houses in my culdesac, my interior cabin lighting goes out too, so it's hard to see where the automatic transmission is set to (drive, N, reverse, etc) - I know if the rear camera comes on, then I'm in reverse, OK, but the shifter is blacked out. Maybe there's a setting for this? The second thing is that the car sits a little high, which I like, but the high center of gravity does make it feel like I can't go as fast on winding mountain roads. For comparison, my original Scion XB is low to the ground and has no trouble keeping up with sedans in mountain curves. This may be just something I'm not used to and that's fine. Having said all of that, if I didn't absolutely love the car in all other ways, including reliability, I would not have bought it. Those are just my small nitpicks, which goes along with this video. Thank you for the video ShiftingLanes!
Mine doesn’t have maps or apps?
It's getting to the point where infotainment systems are becoming deal breakers on cars...YES! You are correct!
Not a dealbreaker for me, I'm just happy with navigating with my phone via bluetooth.
Glad one can just get a plug-and-play Dasaita for a few hundred
Evidently, Toyota has not learned anything about the RAV4 redesign other than how to cut more corners.
I own a 2013 RAV4 and most of the video points apply to the 2013.
- Seats are hard as a rock.
- Regarding suspension, You might chip a tooth going over bumps.
- Infotainment is clunky and has constant bluetooth connection issues.
- Interior cheap plastics are FILLED with rattles and squeaks. THIS CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH.
I test drove mine when the temp was under 30° and thought the stiff ride and seats were because of the cold weather, NOPE.
This, after owning 9 Toyotas, I won't be buying another... I don't care how reliable they are.
Oh yeah, it'll run forever... but if I'm uncomfortable driving this toaster appliance of a car, it just won't work for me.
so you saying rav4 is not comfortable at all? is 2016 Kia sportage or 2016 Mazda cx5 more comfortable? because i was thinking of getting a 2015 rav4.
I love my rav4. Fully loaded with different Multimedia interface. Only 2 issues...(1) no panoramic roof option...and (2) the road noise 🙉. Is there any way to rectify the noise issue?
tires, I would look for a tire designed for comfort and also the tire air pressure. My experience is the dealers love to over inflate tires, look at your drivers side door jam to see the recommended air pressure. I just dropped mine from 39! to 31, silly dealership.
@@bt7482 Wow, I better check mine that I just got from the dealer (used 2017 XLE).
All these things you mentioned are not actually considered as serious problem for a car! If you have problem with engine, gear box or hybrid motor then you can say you do not like this car!
Most of the comments are right. Not sure about the steering feel because thats hard to judge.
I’m expecting a new redesign 5th generation RAV4 2019 or RAV4 2020 will be a bit sportier and more aggressive, more eco, bigger, nicer, safer, stronger, and higher than this 4th generation .
The front of the vehicle shall be semi- AUDI Q8 2018,
and the rear of the vehicle shall be semi- BMW X7 2018 .
the only problem is mine the radio froze and now unresponsive
Is it A SE~sports edition?? 5'1 93 pounds. 💜 mine
Nailed it, seat bottoms suck big time
For the hybrid sport and eco and ev are the same😏 but for non hybrid sport make the car fire 🔥
Bro i drove a crv before i got a rav4 the suspension was horrible on the crv...and i live on a dirt road...i found much better comfort on the toyota...and no im not an advocate for toyota i like ford actually but was disappointed with the escape and explorer recent models...i feel your honda biased
My fiancé is 6’2 and has no complaints as a driver but yes as a passenger has the same issue with the front dash hitting his knees if someone is in the back otherwise he is fine. Any car is uncomfortable after a few hours driving! Especially if you have age on your side...LOL or a past injury. Great video though
Firm seats, infotainment system, ride quality, Good highway/ not Good on backroads/ ruff road, unefective sport mode, light steering rack, tall people might feel uncomfortable in the back seat,, I have one for my wife, she loves it,(2017 Rav4 xlt)she's 5"11 & plump and still finds it comfortable, me with a bad hip with 9 screws holding it together, is a pain in my buttocks! Good gas mileage, compared to my SUPER comfortable seats in my gas gussling Tundra TRD offroad 4x4 ( 2016)
It's weird. I own this same year but your model is completely different. I am jealous of your interior however a friend of mine owns a 2019 Corolla and the interior is absolutely no different at all. The infotainment system included. I love that cognac color and wish I had it. And your number 4 is the car handles too smoothly on rough roads? Weird gripe but okay.
Do you have problems with the passenger side window "fogging" up. Every time it rains,,the window will fog on the outside. So if I look into the side view mirror, I can't see anything coming along side me. I've tried Magic Glass, Rainex, etc. My old car if you put the window up and down a few times..it would "clear" the fog from some inside felt inside the outer part of the window frame. This is driving us crazy and is very dangerous. The more humid, the worse it is. Driving it around the Jersey Shore for vacation was horrible! Please help.........anyone else??
Turn of recirculation mode if it was on. That helps a lot.
Turn on AC and put it on glasses, that will clear all glasses from humidity very fast, try it.
I hate it, that you're more about the options in the car, than attending the situation on the street you're driving.
I totally agree with the first reason that he does not like RAV4. I had exactly the same problem with my 2002 Toyota. I could not drive more than 2 hours without hurting my shoulder, butts. Bolstering issue applies to all Toyota's.
Kia solved the problem for me. I can drive for 10 hours without feeling any fatigue caused by uncomfortable seats.
I am only 5'7:, 165lbs. None of the Toyota's are comfortable for me.
I love my 2016
I hate the fact Toyota no longer offers the V6 as an option as they did in 2012 and prior...
Oil leaks
hi, just wanna how would you compare it to the 2018 volkswagen tiguan? thank you
I love my 17 rav4 see. I have the same color with black and orange stiching seats. I'm 6'4 and I think they're comfortable. I don't have a problem with room at all.
Why not change the bodytype to match the seats?
Kind of what I am thinking. Sort of like obese people who complain about economy seats on a plane. Wanna be comfortable? Don't be fat.
He's making actual observations to warn other people about what they may encounter. Not everyone takes 2 hour test drives to find these things out. No need to be smug. And there are many cars where the seats are comfortable for all size people. It's a design issue, not a user issue.
Toyota does need to add more comfortable seats in it. You can tell these are pretty thin seats compared to the older ravs. These are fine for short trips and they look nice but longer trips I can tell it'll be like my corolla on long trips because these seats are identical to the ones in the corolla. I will be taking this on a 12+ hour trip in December and I'll update again. I'm average Asian size and that's what these seats are designed around right?
Do u mean chop off a leg or something like that?
waiting on 2019 Rav-4 if i dont get that one then crv it will be
17 CR V Touring is an awesome car, just got one.
crv is louder on highway
I have a 2017 LE. I agree about the bumpy ride, road noise as well on rough pavement. I have Geolander tires which were over inflated when I purchased it. Lowered the psi to spec hoping that would help but did not. Love everything else about the vehicle. Bothers me enough to where I am going to sell for something else I can live with. I realize ride comfort is subjective.
I replaced my Geolanders with a good set of touring tires and I’m pleased. Night and day difference.
one thing that does suck with this car is the stereo system LOL everything else is fine tbh
Thanks Greg. I did the quest for a reliable Rav4, multiple variations and this is what I found: I agree with infotainment miss, and driving jitters. However, my issues were too much road noise (70 db on the highway), and the pricing gaps from base model from LE, then XLE, to Ultra expensive came close adding 15 grand to the sticker. The interior is bare bones, to ultra basic, to really you have to spend 5 grand more to have a ok interior. The steering feel was just that a feel- . I looked to a budget German wagon for my ride.
If you’re overweight, lose the gut. Don’t blame the car, amigo.
5 bad things about the car:
1. Butt hurts when drive for 3 hours -fix the butt or get another one, chair has nothing to do with it.
2. Infotaiment - put your favorite mp3 on the flash usb, plug it in.
3. Steering wheel - Eco,EV, Sport mode - for an engine, steering wheel do not change to an airplain steering wheel on the Sport mode.
4?
5?
If you ever have to buy a car, you’ll find that there is no perfect car that has a reasonable price. Even the perfect car has its quirks. I have a 2017 RAV4 bought in March of 2017, new. I wanted to buy a new Crv, but not with the small engine, turbo and CVT. This was the best option at the time and at the right price…….period.
You hate but family love it
Lastima que no te puedo decir en ingles pero una rav for 2015 le salbo la vida a mi hija despues de que alguien se paso un alto, decen los testigos que dio 3 vuelatas y despues se quedo ensartado en un poste de luz gravias dios a mi hija no le paso nada nada y todas las bolsas se abrieron el frame estaba muy fuerte y resistio un golpe tan fuerte, eso es lo mas importante que aguanten ung golpe fuerte,yo creo piensas eso porqie no has tenido una experienvia como la de mi hija, es la unica suv que la hacen en japon las demas las hacen en usa, gracias
Saludos doña
The only thing I hate about is the gas tank is toooo small
Have you driven a Mazda CX? Curious to see if you have nitpicks
Edit: NVM you mentioned it. Do a nitpick vid!
I have one right now as a loaner. Steering feel is horrible. It feels like I have a VR headset on driving a fake car with a fake steering wheel in front of me. Numb numb numb
Ciao, ho un RAV4 Hybrid my 17, peso 105 Kg e mi trovo benissimo.
End of it's life cycle??? That RAV4 is well known to make it to 300,000 miles.
You should ask Toyota if YOU can design the next infotainment system if its too hard for you to kearn
feel the road is not work on some of Toyota vehicles
My only complaints are the factory brake pads and tires overheat VERY easily. The brakes get really spongy when theyre hot and the tires get floppy. But seeing as my only complaints are wear items that will soon be changed the rav is an amazing car. It drives like a wrx for moms.
Two years ago I bought my first Toyota, yes it was a RAV4. It had about 132k miles on it I now have nearly 150k miles on it and just returned from an over 4,000 mile trip. Seats were fine with my nearly 300 lb body sitting in them for nearly 36 hours within two days. The biggest issue I have with my 2007 limited v6 4x4 is the repair bills. $800 for a new alternator and serpentine belt is ridiculous. Not to mention that every trip I have to add oil along the way. It's starting to feel like the $1,000 a year Ford Ranger's repair bill that I used to own. The thing of it is the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree with other issues also. Guess that will be next months payday to fix them issues. Just saying, because what happen to, "get a Toyota it'll run forever?"
Luxury comments
2017 RAV4 cruiser is an amazing drive
Do the seats have more of a firm feel or are they more soft with cushion?
+adam712 definitely more firm
ShiftingLanes - MY SEATS HURT--- WIMP----
I own a Rav 4 LE 2016
I test drive the Honda CRV 2016 and recently the 2017.
The Rav 4 sits up higher which I prefer when driving.
My wife has arthritis in the hips and sitting higher up is less painful.
The Honda CRV feels like you are sitting closer to the ground like a car.
My 6’2” says it has more leg room than my Highlander however I agree with almost every else this guy is saying. I hate the steering wheel angle even adjusted and the gas mileage isn’t that great which is why I downsized from the Highlander which we kept to give to our son.
sports does weight up the steering a lot! I don't know what you're talking about also your dislike about the ride quality might have to do with the fact that you have bigger wheels with less tire.
I own a 17 RAV and 17 Challenger and let me tell you how wrong you are. It's a base model yes, but Sport mode advances timing and Eco button retards the timing with regular mode dead middle. I believe you're feeling the placebo effect. Sport mode will also hold gears longer in automatic mode.
Hard, disagree on the steering. There's no such thing as steering that's too light. All modern steering is WAY too heavy. From having driven this gen Rav4 I can tell you that the steering is NOT light. It's average. Also: steering play is a GOOD thing. And not having steering feedback is also a GOOD thing. Essentially, the opposite of everything you said about steering is true. Floating, light steering, and steering play are all GOOD.
Ppl buy toyotas to go to point A to point B,and do it for decades without any headaches.If you want comfort and all the pizzazz,go BMW.But get ready for shop visits down the line...like after 50K miles.
Toyota number one for car lasting pass 200
Maybe it your bottom. I thought the RAV4 wasn’t bad
Can you do a review like this with the jeep Cherokee ?!
Ppl need to stop complaining let me see you build a suv
BMW X3 2020 😉 the Best
I like my Rav4, it’s very comfortable, I’m 5’11 and 175 lbs, I do agree the stereo system is total shit. The ride is great on the highway and in town, and I’ve had relatives and friends say the same. However my biggest gripe about the vehicle and I’m upset with Toyota on this matter is the fuel economy is total crap and not close to what it’s supposed to be. No matter how much I baby it I can’t get better gas mileage. I’ve always had Honda’s and Subaru’s in the past and I plan on getting rid of the Rav in the near future. I’ll either get a CR-V or crosstrek.
did you ever get the Crv? i heard Crv having transmission issues with vibrations and jerking on the transmission and gears.
I agree the gas mileage on mine sucks.
The main thing I don't like about the RAV4 is it is just like you are driving a billboard telling everybody you gave up on life
Well that's stupid lol
LOL Or it could just be that you want a reliable Toyota because you're sick of owning garbage cars that break down every 6-12 months
