Toyota RAV4

Have the 2109 RAV4. Ride and handling are good, solid car that feels it’ll run forever. Lots of room and safety features. Road & Wind noise is pure hell, rear passengers complain also. Having the radio up load didn’t dampen it at all. Service charges are okay considering not much is done and the staff are generally good to deal with. Will not buy another one due to the fact on long drives it feels like we’ve flying in an aeroplane. Wish they would make the cabin quieter as we had found on our Tucson & XV.

Disappointed in some of the aspects, Of first the steering wheel is not centred to the drivers seat. Often times I struggle with discomfort when driving long distances due to the odd angle.
Road noise is unbearable, and infotainment screen is of very poor quality on the 2020 model. I seen better quality screens on the cheaper corolla’s.

Got to commend the fuel economy thou, which was what got me into it.

Car has clocked about 245,000km and has never let me done. It is comfortable and a very easy car to drive. With regular servicing and preventive maintenance, these cars can run forever. The engine does burn some oil so make sure to check it every so often. Around town I get about 450-500km to a tank (U91).

Hired the Hybrid and was looking forward to it.

Economy was 6 litres/100Km on mostly country driving. Not good as my 2.0 litre 2005 BMW gets the same and does not need a battery that will need replacing at a sizeable cost.

Dynamics were ok for an entry level car. The ABS did not do very well when stopping on dirt roads. The traction control was worse. If you accelerated too hard, the back swung out to the side. Possibly it is an early (and cheaper) generation traction control unit. Latest generation traction control and ABS measure whee...

I drive economically with the rare firm acceleration once every few trips.
Daily drive taking partner to work equating to 20-25000 kms a year. Serviced on time. Videos of issues attached
My low rating is both due to the issues existing and the lack of effort to resolve issues and take them seriously.
Every RAV4 has this first issue.
1. slip light remains on frequently when starting the car. Won't go out until you let brake off completely. If on steep slope you can put car in drive and start moving at which point the car is difficult to stop e...

Dashcam fitted front and back works excellently. Very easy to use and the Toyota sales staff were very helpful in explaining the features. Makes us feel a lot safer. Highly recommended.

My RAV4 is my daily drive, before lock down would travel approx 40,000KM per year, also my vehicle is used for towing a Jet ski around the state where possible. Vehicle always serviced on time, has never given me any issues, when I did have a small problem and out of warranty Toyota still managed to fix it under warranty, kudos to Toyota...Would seriously consider buying the current model.

This car gets rough treatment as a work vehicle on a site. So far it's done 50k trouble free, fuel economy compared to the old hilux we had is amazing!

We were a family that was loyal to Nissan for years and decided to switch to Toyota. This vehicle is spacious, economical, quiet, comfortable and stylish. What an awesome buy!

Vehicle is mostly used as a shopping basket by the home boss! :)

This RAV SX6 is the 201 kw version. I use it three times a week and probably drive it an average of 10000 klms per year. I use it as a second car and carry my electric golf buggy around in it, in fact when it’s not on the golf course, it’s in my RAV.
The RAV has been a very reliable car over the years, it’s very powerful, comfortable, quiet and great fun to drive. Having the advantage of 4x4 allowed me to take it on sand, mountain tracks, wet grass etc. allowing for camping in the bush.
If there is one downside it’s that it’s a little thirsty,...

I picked up my RAV4 Cruiser - Petrol Feb 2021 and 19 months on I am still loving it.
It is very comfortable with plenty of room in the back for my two girls aged 5 and 9.
We enjoy throwing open the moon roof on a sunny day and I especially love the heated seats are a dream on those cold winter days.
I'm a little disappointed with the Apple/Android carplay. The JBL speakers are plentiful as are the usb ports.
I love the auto boot, so handy for drop and go at school and speaking of the boot, it is so great o back up to the boundary fence pop ope...

Purchased new in 2015 and I have not regretted my choice for one minute.
Due for its 160,000 service at my local dealer shortly, It has not had any issues whatsoever.
It may not be the most exciting vehicle to drive (going by anecdotal reports) but it is roomy, easy to manoeuvre and good on fuel.
Not only is it my daily driver, it has done many a country trip with recent ones being to outback NSW where I slept in the back of my 'Tin Swag'
Unfortunately it is the last of its kind being a manual diesel with no DPF, so hopefully it will continue giving me exemplary service.

Our RAV is our family car and average about 25,000k's per year. Our first hybrid and won't be our last! As city drivers, I was getting increasingly frustrated sitting at red traffic lights, watching the fuel needle go down. Now out a 55lt tank, we average about 1,000km. It's cut about 40% out our fuel bill.

But, that's not the best part of our RAV, having now driven it for 18 months. Relaxing is an understatement. Cruising around, it's common the petrol engine just cuts out and total silence, other than a bit of road noise. The Adaptive (radar...

Really happy with the car generally speaking. It's well built, drives well and is comfortable. Plenty of boot space, and finished quite nicely.

Only things I don't like:
1. Lane tracing pulls me to the left, into next lane, and you constantly have to fight it, so it's a useless feature I don't use anymore.
2. No illumination of window/door lock controls can be somewhat frustrating at night
3. There is a constant very high pitched yet subtle wine when brakes or accelerator are pushed, it can be annoying if you focus on it
4. The JBL apple car p...

This is our second Rav4 hybrid, we traded our first GX model at the dealer, after 2 years for only 3k drop price from what we paid, we upgraded this time to the Cruiser and love it, we average 5.5lt/100km fuel consumption which is less than half of our old Xtrail, comfort is great, I never thought we would use the heated seats living in Qld.
