  Things you need to know about the 2016 rav xle - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By John Tran - July 22 - 6:34 am

  1. Seat belt adjusters make rattle noise (when driving) 2. Popping sound in the back of the car ( after braking) 3. Strong engine vibration - shakes both front seats just like the 2015 crv. Sometimes I have to shut it off when parked because the vibration causes dizziness. 4. Car makes metal type sound when backing up and turning the steering wheel (like an old car). 5. For around $ 27k, TOYota makes auto headlights an option for the rav xle. Not a smart move. Overall the car looks luxurious but feels cheap. Lots of road noise, cabin noise (because of cheap materials in the car), and wind noise. Buy it for reliability. Look for something else if you want more features and comfort with the same amount of money.

  RAV4 3 years and running..... - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By Darci S - July 3 - 8:25 pm

  I decided on a RAV4 after having owned Tercels, Camrys, and 4 runners....I did test a Honda CRV (do much noise and sloppy steering). Three years running and NOT a single problem!! I think its a great price for what you are getting. I personally dont like the 18 inch tires on my limited but there was no option for 17 at the time which works better for me in Montana on the snow and dirt roads. Much better ride. Not as much clearance as I would like but that 4 runner spoiled me..:) Other than that, I have been very happy with the great cargo space and the sound system rocks!!

  Back Problems - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By Rick Paul - June 1 - 5:57 pm

  I have to get rid of this car because I cant drive it without being hobbled by back pain even for short distances. The front seat has a "lumbar support" that digs into my back just above my belt line. Ive adjusted the seat every which way possible. Ive tried after market seat cushions and pillows to no avail. I wanted to give this vehicle a chance because there are many things to like about it compared against the other cars Ive test driven. I will lose money when I rid myself of it after only 3 months. Otherwise, I like the smooth power delivery and most notably the quality of the interior. It comes without a lot of frills that come standard on some competitors, like adjustable speed intermittent wipers, automatic headlights, and push button start but it has a high quality feel. The interior switches and the fit and finish are top notch. This is why I bought it. IF YOU HAVE ANY BACK PROBLEMS, OR EVEN IF YOU DONT, TAKE A LONG TERM TEST DRIVE OR RENT ONE FIRST. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO THIS, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.

  Worst quality & service experience for RAV4 - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By Aj - April 29 - 2:13 pm

  Just 3 months old with 3000 miles. Already repaired twice, once for rubbery brakes and for tailgate being jammed. Worst service experience in Avenel, NJ. Highly disappointed with Toyota quality and experience about which I had heard a lot. Even with 90% highway driving, giving only 23

  COULD HAVE BEEN , the perfect vehicle for me!!!! - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By ranger@columbus.rr.com - April 5 - 1:20 am

  for rear seat passengers it rides worse than my pick up truck. front seats not too bad. the intune radio is not user friendly. if you are a do it yourself person and want to change your own oil you can expect going to the dealer to get the special oil filter wrench. now for the the big one. mechanically its great. the navigation system system is so bad I may shop for a different brand next time. Toyota has bought a navigation system that is very hard to use ands the accuracy is terrible. if you are paying for the nav. system take it out in the country and try it first. the menue actually give you the coverage maps that you can look at (kinda like a cell phone coverage map) look at it before you waste your money. they must have thought the people in the south would buy the car. the navigation system is so bad that I use my OLD garmin instead. my thought is if I buy a $200 gps at a dept. store and dont like it I can return it. if you buy the $1500 Toyota nav system you are stuck with it and can do nothing. I seriously hope they get sued over this one.

  Really Like my New Rav4 - 2016 Toyota RAV4

  Rave for the RAV! - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By doug daily - February 16 - 9:58 am

  It has it all. Fantastic. The two tone nutmeg seats are gorgeous. The seats are comfortable and room for 5 adults my size, (which is not small.) great handling and all the technology I need in a car. The side blind spot mirrors are great as I did not like the idea of flashing lights and buzzers ever time a vehicle came near the car. Mileage is great, got 36.2 on my last trip from work! Really a fun and super car to own.

  What good are safety signals they cant be heard - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By Arlene - February 11 - 1:42 pm

  What good are safety signals if they cant be heard above a radio. or even road noise if the windows or moon roof is open. The lane drift would never be heard if a person falls to sleep. I asked about making them louder but was told it was impossible

  Very Satisfied - 2016 Toyota RAV4
  By Ron - January 20 - 9:51 pm

  This is a well engineered vehicle. Very comfortable seats, very quiet in the cabin. Birds eye camera and saftey features ie. blind spot and lane sensing are fantastic. The only thing I would like to see added is a power passenger seat. Buying the Hybrid was a no brainer...I think it was only around $700 more than the gas model. Checked my mileage this last refill and it was 33.95 mpg. The computer read out indicated 35.1 so very close to actual.
