The 2015 Toyota Rav4 is much larger (in my opinion) than my 2005 Rav4, which I still own. The 2015 has MANY more electronic and digital toys than the 2005, and doesn't come in manual (which is what I was hoping to buy), but it definitely gets excellent gas mileage and has a very smooth ride. It actually takes about the same amount of money to fill the gas tank, and although it's a larger vehicle, the gas mileage is as good or better than the my 2005. The rear door opens up instead of to the side, which takes some getting used to, and the back seats fold down flat, so that larger items can be transported more easily...Including my 130 lb. Bloodhound, who seems to like the larger rear space and the comfy area where he can spread out and howl!

I love how much room it has in it. I wish there was air vents in the back like there is in the front. Very durable and I feel safe in the vehicle. There is a small blind spot which makes it easy to switch lanes. I do not like how it does not make a beeping noise to indicate that it is locked unlike other vehicles I have had. I wish the car had a pad lock on it like Ford provides to unlock it from the outside without keys. I also don't like how it does not have a start car engine button to cool the car down without actually starting the car with the keys. It is a very smooth ride although and easy drivable.
