This is my daily driver.
Bought it just over 18 months ago, and over that time I've been getting 8.8 l/100km, which I can't really complain about. That's over a general mix of peak-hour traffic (17km each way) and easier weekend driving.

It has all the bells and whistles I need - active cruise control, AEB, rear camera, parking sensors, lane departure warning. The only thing I'd like would have been to include Apple Carplay/Android Auto. As it is I leave an iPod in the car, so all music is played off that. If I want to listen to something str...Read more

In the last few years I have owned several different SUVs, including the Hyundai IX35, & Tucson, and the Mazda CX5. I changed brands again this time when I bought the 2018 Toyota Rav4 GXL automatic, in June with less 5000 kms on the Odometer.
I was impressed with its comfort, safety features and the huge amount of space when the back seats are down. It is the last model Rav4 from Toyota to have a CD player, which for me was a real plus!

The 2 Litre engine has plenty of power but at the same time is very economic on petrol - consumption av...Read more

I had a RAV4 Cabrio back in 1997...?? when they first came on the market. I loved this vehicle. We needed to upgrade and required a larger vehicle so decided, due to our previous positive experience, to go with the RAV4 again. A great all round vehicle with so many extras included. Love the lane indicators on the side mirrors, great for when vehicles are in your blind spot. It also has a lane alarm that tells you if you are straying out of your lane, another great safety aspect. The anti dazzle rear view mirror is also great and something...Read more

Spent over 6 months reviewing online and test driving a range of mid-sized SUV's. Ended up buying the RAV4 due to this model being the new, 5th generation with stiffer sub-frame, lots of tech safety, Toyota's renowned (I have had several Toyota's over the last 4 decades) durability, low service costs. My concerns were:
1. Size of vehicle - the RAV4 has been getting larger over the last decade with each new model
2. Running costs and fuel efficiency.
We've had it 3 months now and couldn't be happier. Yes, it is a little larger than I would have ...Read more

Awesome to drive, great high driving position - although you can lower the seat and look over the bonnet too. Very comfortable and safe feeling. tested the traction control, really does work!
It has fixed price servicing, which was a factor in deciding to buy a new car.
Road side assistance and warranty at 5 years but I would be upset if I needed to use either of those in that time.

Minor irritation with a wind problem behind the driver. Haven't been able to get Toyota to fix it yet. Hoping this service - 20,000 - will sort it out. A littl...Read more

I purchased my October 2016 build 2 wheel drive GXL RAV4 in December 2016. I currently owned a compact Toyota hatch and I was upgrading to a small SUV to achieve a higher driving position.
I'm not sure if it was because I already had a Toyota, but the car was perfect for me and I decided minutes after getting in for a test drive that I would buy the RAV4 - I immediately felt at ease and comfortable in the car which is a MAJOR factor for ME when buying a car. I chose the GXL model because it has awesome alloys, cruise control, auto wipers / li...Read more

I purchased Toyota vehicle second time after driving Corolla in 2004. I believe my choice was great as I believe reliability of Toyota is still pretty strong. I chose 2.0 Petrol in middle range, and it does have audio with colour screen, bluetooth, few apps including Pandora (Music with mobile internet connection)and fuel (show the cheapest petrol station nearby). I really wish Toyota will have some update and add additional apps with toyotalink, which Pandora was only app added after I purchased this car in 2014.

I feel fun to drive this ca...Read more
