2012 Toyota RAV4 User Reviews

Pros

Great Little SUV

Cons

None

Purchased As New

You know once you drive the Competitors cars, you will never
have any bad comments about a new Toyota!

I Love my new Rav4

Pros

Cargo room, ride, value, heats up quickly especially feet

Cons

I'm not crazy about the driver's seat adjustments and comfort.

Purchased As New

I have a 2010 4X2 4 cyl base model, and 2012 4X4 4 cylinder base model. I prefer the latter. I've leased both, can't beat the price and they easily beat any competition on cost/value. I would definitely lease this vehicle again.

Pros

Very smooth riding and good fuel economy

Cons

The cup holders in the console area.

Purchased As New

I love my RAV4. Best vehicle I've ever owned. I also love how the back door to the trunk area opens out instead of up so that you don't hit your head on it. Great little SUV.

Pros

Good name. Roomy.

Cons

Over priced, Radio not good at all for the trim,backup camera too small.

Purchased As New

We bought new, Radio and CD player very poor quality for the Ltd trim. Truck like ride. Ove priced. May be you can get, whole lot more car for this kind of MONEY.
Toyota followed with survey after purchase, nobody wants to do any thing about, the customer concern!

Pros

Excellant Power, good fuel economy 24 MPG combo city freeway driving.

Cons

Ride could be a little more firm, Gas tank small only 15.9 gal. 19 would be great.

Pros

Vey fun to drive, and the motor is very strong.

Cons

Purchased As New

This is the best Small SUV that I've found so far. My family and I spent 6 months tryed to find the best suv for us and we made it. I bought it in 2010, and I'm so happy so far.
Worth every dollar. I've seen the new model 2013 and maybe I'll trade for that one. By the way, I do not work for Toyota!...read morehide

Pros

good gas mileage for a v6, awesome performance,

Cons

thin paint, reliability issues with v6, plastic interior feels cheap

Purchased As Used

I purchased a 2006 rav 4 limited with a v6, the acceleration is amazing for a small suv and I get around town a avg of 23-24 mpg in mostly fast urban traffic.

My only knock has been the reliability of the v6 motor had a issue with oil line that cost $500 to repair and all the ignition coils had to be replaced that was $900, shouldn't have issues like this for a toyota with only 60k miles. Also the vehicle has a knock when turning the steering wheel and the motor makes a whine at 40mph I think these two issues have been resolved on the newer models.

The interior is sort of cheap and plastic but its a toyota and under 30k vehicle so I guess that is to be expected.

I hope to keep this vehicle for many years since I love the performance, storage room and good gas mileage the v6 rav 4 has....read morehide

Pros

looks good, tons of cargo space

Cons

seats are uncountable

Purchased As Not Purchased

test drive this vehicle with my wife. the look is good. the power on both the 4 cylinder and the v6 was good. the cargo space is great, the interior was surprisely well done. but the bid draw back was how un confutable the seat where. we make 3 hr trips at least 6 times a year and after driving the vehicle for 20 mins we did not feel confutable. also the place of the steering whee don't feel right.test drive it and see for your self...read morehide

Pros

room, comfort, fuel economy 4cyl

Cons

poor tires

Purchased As New

Well worth it, excellent 4wd system, roomy. The standard tires are real garbage. It gets 31 mpg highway 23 city.

Pros

Smooth ride. Get the estimated mpg as stated by toyota.

Cons

Gas tank too small for a SUV . Doors feel light & hard to close.

Purchased As New

Bought this vehicle new in 2011. So far happy with purchase. However, thereare few things toyota could do better with this SUV. I think Toyota could make the tank hold 18 or 20 gal. so less trips to the gas pump. The RAV4 passenger doors are very hard to close and you have to swing or push them very hard to close the doors. Also this vehicle is missing automatic door locking when vehicle is put in drive or motion. This is a standard safety feature in ford, honda, hyundia vehicles. It is for passenger safety to have al the doors automatically lock if you forget while driving....read morehide
