The RAV4.
As I first bought this car, I thought wow, how could it look this amazing? Later then, my family went on a fishing trip that was a 5 hour ride. My daughter kept on bugging me, "Are we there yet?". I believe that the RAV4 is a comfortable car that you can sleep in. The back of the seat gives you a choice on which angle you would prefer to sit on. Overall, I believe that the RAV4 is an amazing car. I give it a 4/5

Its a terrific car overall!
i love the toyota rav4! it has comfortable interior and easy controls and clearly large windshield glass so that it is easy to see around on the road. I love sitting in the driver's seat because it makes me feel like im at home. The passenger seats at the back are extremely comfy, with an extreme amount of leg room space. I highly recommend this car to those young families out there!

Finnicky, expensive to maintain and operate
Must keep everything in tip top shape or you can run into big problems. Unlike regular vehicles, tires must show little wear or handling problems will occur.
Too many blind spots. Runs at too high an rpm. Back up gear is too fast which requires excessive clutching to safely back up.
Not tough enough for consistent country road driving.
Battery difficult to get to when needed.
Despite these problems, the engine and drive train are well-built. I'd not likely purchase another one in the future.

Decent
Decent car, not spectacular but reliable. Does not look too great and is pretty basic. There is a third row but it is not very spacious. It isn't really useable unless you are a small child or are very small. Another annoying feature is that the trunk opens out to the side which can be annoying and inconvenient. One of the positives is the gas mileage, which is relatively good. Another positive is that the inside of the car has a lot of space. It doesn't accelerate very quickly but it handles alright. Not an exciting car to drive. Overall it is simplistic, but functional.

Great car
I love this car, if I hadn't moved to the city and decide to rely on public transit I would never sell her. This car is sooo reliable in the winter. You will be in the fast lanes on snow storms 100%.
Great on gas for a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Utilitarian
PROS
-Runs like a top
-Active AWD is quick and responsive when needed
-4WD works like a charm and automatically disengages when up to speed
-Rear has more functional cargo space than most others in this category
NEUTRALS
-Exterior styling is getting a bit dated
Gas mileage is more around the 9-10 litres/100 km
CONS
-Seat padding thin yet hard and seat depth is very short
-Rear door open on the wrong side for North America, due to door instead of hatch blocks you from curb while open parked on side of street.
- Tank only give around a 500km drive radius

Reliable and adaptable vehicle
We've had this car for 4 years and it has never let us down. The manufacturer is very responsible about posting and fixing any defects. Only complaint is fuel efficiency, but we have a V6 so it is a given. The vehicle accommodates 2 sleepers in the back if you are a camper, so no need to fear bad weather on the road. There is a reason why you see these vehicles everywhere you go.

Fantastic Car
I love my Rav4! We have the front wheel drive, base model. It's great on gas and hasn't had anything wrong with it since we bought it new.
We have twin toddlers and this car is big enough for the four of us and our dog. The infant car seats fit fantastically and they are now using forward facing 3-in-1's (which are huge!) and there is still a ton of room!
It's a small detail but we especially love the little hidden cubby compartment in the back; we store all of our groceries in there if we have to leave the dog alone in the car for a second.
Wouldn't trade this car in for anything!

Rav 4 is great so far
We have had our Rav4 for about 4 months. So far we love it. It drives great, lots of power with the V6, comfortable seats, and lots of bells and whistles. The only draw backs, pretty big blind spots (posts between windshield and front doors), and the Nav system is not great for Canada (not many addresses).

Toyota RAV4 fun to drive
Toyota RAV 4 Limited I4 is a great car, is fun to drive very responsive.I m using for carpool daily commute 140 km.It is very reliable never went in the ditch even in the iciest conditions of Manitoba winter. Toyota got this I4 engine right. It is good on gas while has the muscle of a V6.Original Yokohama tires area bit noisy and wear around 50K, so I changed to BF Goodrich Long Trail tires which so far are OK.
The interior is comfortable with the dual climate control it is soothing especially in the hot summer days. Cabin filter is a nice feature, helping keep clean air with 3-4 passenger on board.Overal RAV4 is a great truck.

Lots of cargo space and looks good
Bought a Toyota Rav4 2009 Limited edition. We luv the space to load our baby stroller and other items. Seats are firm with the leather, but good with the heated seats at the front. SUV looks good exterior wise. There is enough torque, but the fuel economy not so good. I get 9.5L real world driving, I was hoping 8.5 L/100 km. Bought this SUV at an amazing price

It's a Toyota
The Rav4 averaged 9.6l/km over 3 yrs. The rear seats slide and recline and there's lots of trunk space, with extra under the floor. It's pretty torquey for a four cylinder and had no problem handling mountains with 4 adults and their luggage aboard. The seats only get heat with leather and they clean up well. The dash is intuitive and the interior has lots of storage. The lockable center differential came in handy when going up snowy cottage roads. With a proper set of winter tires it goes through snow and more importantly, stops with confidence. While it has had several recalls, none impacted it. No wonder it won Car and Driver's comparison tests.

The Rav has been a great reliaible, fun and safe car to own.We live in a mountainous area , go up and down snowy roads, We've done many round trips of 1287 km. to Calgary Alta. from our home in Rossland B.C. and no problems.We feel very safe and have no worries about it. It has 250,000 km. on it and still going strong.
