Rav4 Rocks - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By DonnaHappy - December 17 - 2:00 amI couldnt be more happier with my Rav4. At the price point of the Base Rav4, I feel I got a reliable vehicle with lots of great features for my money. Really like the side opening rear door, full size spare tire on the back, ease and location of controls, nice radio with XM Satellite, attractive exterior and lots of cargo space. Also, quiet motor, no road noise and a smooth ride. I have the extra value package which was worth every penny. My Rav4 is a blast to drive and so far is trouble free. Im a satisfied customer and very happy with my decision to purchase the Rav4.

10k miles in 3 months: reliable but uncomfortable - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By tunisjs - November 20 - 12:55 pmI bought 2010 Rav4 base 4x4 at Carmax on my return from overseas. I needed a reliable, roomy SUV quickly for a long road trip. I love to drive. Fully loaded with stuff, using a/c, 28mpg highway (despite only 4 gears, a happy surprise). Totally reliable, lots of storage room, side swinging rear door ok, full size spare tire a godsend. Grossly uncomfortable driving position for this 62" 210lb male, no lumbar support, my knees rubbed against console and window controls. The worst was the loud, arthritic creaking from all the RAV4s body joints on launches, turns and stops! It sounded like a Yugo. Whats up with Toyota? I traded it in on a used GLK.

A company with class - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By d.garr - October 4 - 3:16 pmMy wife has owned her rav 4 since 1998. Honestly water pump and timing only repairs. Those items are minor compared to other car if you know what I mean. I bought the 2010 rav4 4x4 for myself. They handle through any snow and comfort is a 10. Not only that they are roomy inside and the suv handles great on the road. If you want a vechicle that is going to last a long time then look no futher. Toyota workers have built you a high quality running machine with many years of service and safety to you and your family. I have been a long time customer of Toyota and a lot of people wont buy foriegn cars but stop and think for a moment - these cars are built by American workers with families too.

Great so far! - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By smokey10 - September 24 - 10:00 amI bought my RAV4 7 months ago and Ive never liked a car better than my new one. Ride is smooth enough and all these things I read on reviews about vibrating and stuff, never experienced it except when Im driving on rough roads and unpaved ones, quite expected I would think. My car is the limited model and the convenience of the features really fits me well. The only thing I dont like about my car is how much I paid for it. Gas mileage is very reasonable since Im primarily the only passenger plus my little dog, were so happy to go out of town occasionally on weekends with comfort. I agree its no escalade nor a Land Rover, but it certainly fits most responsible,low profile people like me

Nice Quality Ride - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By Poisondart - June 16 - 10:50 pmI had this beauty for about a month, but I can not stop loving it. It is a very well designed compact, yet roomy, SUV. The vehicle handles extremely well with small turning radius, and the ride is quite smooth for its size. Instrument panel was well lay out with all the buttons/switches located right at your finger tips. Cargo rooms are plenty. The Bluetooth feature is really nice since more and more states are restricting driving and holding cell phone to your ears at the same time. Upgraded tires, and the roof rail make the vehicle more muscular and nicer looking. Test drive one, and you will fall in love with it.

expected more from toyota - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By ksywa - June 9 - 9:00 pmOur new rav4 is driven in the suburbs, so far just little over 350 miles. Already there are some rattles in passengers side doors. Where is Toyotas legendary quality? Fuel economy could be better my average for now is 20.6 mpg. Seats not very comfortable. Still I do love design, plenty of storage compartments. Very functional interior. Four cylinder has sufficient power. I like the spare tire on the back.

Rav 4 sucks - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By rav4_sucks - June 6 - 1:27 amI have had this car for a year and a half. Toyota is the worst company to deal with. After 7,000 miles the brakes made a garggiling sound and would not come to a complete stop. I have my wife and kids in the car up in the mountains on a sunday afternoon. Called Toyota and they wanted to charge me $500.00 to tow the car to a dealership. Towing NOT covered under bumper to bumper. Also the tires on the car only lasted 22,000 miles. The radio will turn its self off for no reason. All the dash lites go on and off then the car dies. BIGGEST PIECE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not [non-permissible content removed] with a Toyota driver manual. (it wont get the job done) MAJOR FAIL TOYOTA

Excellent vehicle - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By Dennis - May 30 - 8:43 pmDespite all the media hype on Toyotas, this Rav4 has got to be the best. I have always owned American made vehicles but none of them made now can beat this Rav4. I love everything about the vehicle except the remote start. The vehicle shuts down when you open the door.

My Second Rav4 - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By Xiam - May 19 - 10:00 amMy 2007 RAV4 had zero issues in 40K+ miles. Even the original brakes and tires were still serviceable. The 2010 has a few welcome pluses - More power on less gas [well see]; a scuff plate on the rear bumper and a nice mpg readout. Sure, the rides a little jiggly and the drivers seat not too comfy after an hour or two, and the idles rough with the A/C on, and that weird tailgate doesnt open like all the others - BUT - Theres plenty of space for 4/5 adults OR a lot of cargo with the seats down. About 25 mpg average; over 30 on the road. Plenty of zip, even with the I4/4 speed power train.

This is FUN to drive!! - 2010 Toyota RAV4
By Ron Klein - March 25 - 12:56 pmThis is my 1st SUV in many years, but it wont be my last. Previous vehicle was a 2000 Avalon that easily moved past the 100,000 mile mark. The 3rd generation RAV is actually pretty good sized. This vehicle is so much fun to drive. The V-6 sounds great and is really "hot", but fairly economical. A great sound system is enhanced by the access to XM Satellite radio. The solid safety rating (including being surrounded by airbags) is comforting. The Smart Key system has you lamenting the fact that you have to use a key to open your front door in just a few days! I live in a hilly area, but the AWD got around in 7" of fresh snow like it was July.
