Very economic
We purchased our RAV4 about 10 weeks ago. We chose AWD auto with diesel. Found it to be very economical. Doesn't have a large fuel tank but can do approx 650 Ks. A 500Ks trip cost me less than $40. Going from a V6 petrol to this was amazing in consumption. It rides well and is reasonably comfortable. ( Again only comparing to my previous car ) Has some good features. Would recommend it.

Good alround vehicle solid reliable typical Toyota not exciting
The Rav4 is a solid performer on the road with sufficent power for overtaking and keeps up with traffic even on the hills.
The whole package is so Toyota, slightly bland but solid reliable able good alround no let downs but little to excite
I expected better fuel economy. I spend a lot of time on the highway and get in the low 7s per 100km. I have done better in an Aurion and not much worse in a Commodore 3 litre
The Rav is comfortable for the front occupants but its more basic in the back.
Noisy when stationery but quiet on the road.
I neither like nor dislike the Rav but its good to drive

Poor Design, Weak Diesel Engine, Bad Service, Huge Backflip and I got rid of it before it seized
Let's just say we've been Toyota owners in the past when it was rare to be a Toyota Owner, when the great mob owned mostly Holden's and Fords and a few Valiants. For a multitude of reasons we moved to another Japanese brand because Toyota dealers could be described as follows, "Unfortunately, Toyota Dealers in many areas, have become immoral and unethical in their dealings with their major stakeholders, namely, their customers". Nice way to say there are many crooks running Toyota Dealerships. Well unfortunately for me I needed to buy a 2013 ...Read more
RAV4 and from day one it has been a horrible experience, no dealer wanted to return calls, emails or give you a test drive or be bothered with you, I have yet to test drive one, Toyota Australia seems to be Ok up to a point but the dealer network does not rate high. After securing a new Diesel Auto RAV, it was sold on me after the deposit was placed two days prior, now isn't that unethical, then it was delayed again, then it arrives without Alloy Wheels as promised, but what I suppose irks me the most is the towing rating, my car has now become the 500 kg Lemon or Orphan because Toyota have backflipped and uprated it for future production, I thought I would test this theory and take it for a valuation at two very separate Toyota dealerships and one unrelated non Toyota dealership and each one said, as this is a 500 kg Diesel model, sorry mate can't give you what you want as trade. So nice of Toyota under engineering this car so now it depreciates more than usual, very kind Toyota Australia, but the best bit, all production from July will be rated at 1000 kg, What, why the wait? The rating is still pathetic for the strength of the engine and it is strong, pretty noisy at times, but very torquey and very economical. I do like the diesel no question, but there was no first engine oil change service and after 5000k the oil is down and very very dirty, so I have decided to get it changed earlier and I would suggest others do the same as cheap insurance. But, the issue is Toyota need to retro fit and upgrade all the diesel models fitted with tow bars to 1000 kg at the very least sold prior to July as I will no longer buy any Toyota product ever again until I am satisfied with the outcome, letter has been sent to Toyota Customer Care, although a direct email or phone number for [name removed] would be even better. I managed to unload the POS and got a great trade in on the back of Toyotas perceived and over rated quality, if you've got a full sized spare model check the wheel well for rust, mine was rusty, these things are truly junk, good riddance, worst car I've owned since a Mark 3 VW Golf.

Love my new car
I have recently traded my Mazda cx7 for a rav4 I love the car so far it is great on diesel very practical for the kids and I. Love Toyota can't fault them as for Mazda well that thing was a lemon.and for the price difference the base model rav is great I think we had the luxury model cx7 I would never buy leather seats again for where I live.
fuel great, smooth ride for a small 4wd
Not wide enough for car seats and someone to use middle seat

New RAV4 2013
Just purchased a new RAV4 2013 GX 2.2 TURBO DIESEL. AUTO, for the wife, price $33,400, with 12 months rego.
The finish is top notch, the ride is smooth, auto is silky smooth, dash setup is awkward, could have been designed better.
