The Rav-4 XLE 2006 is an exceptional car in looks, comfort, safety and reliability. There are many features which I appreciate about this car. The interior is comfortable and attractive with its leather seating and heated front seats. The seats are easy to position with electronic controls and there is lumbar support which is a plus to me. The dashboard is well designed, easy to read and the radio is of good quality with great sound throughout the car. The cargo space is good for traveling and can easily accommodate my two Labrador retrievers. I like that the rear seats fold forward so that bigger objects can be accommodated. As an SUV, the passenger area sits higher than your average car and so there is good visibility. There have been few repairs required other than normal maintenance and it has held up well for the mileage ( >100,000) that we have logged in it.

The car itself is good, but the service is terrible from Toyota. They really don't care about it and the people to own one. They just made them so that they can continue selling cars in California. The car is great for electric range and for being affordable. Also, it is the only EV that is a SUV out. Other than that, the car feels generic.

Our RAV4 has been an exceptional vehicle, and we have loved it since the day we drove it off the lot. We've had no mechanical problems with it in 6 1/2 years of ownership with nothing more than regular maintenance. It has handled everything from daily commuting to trips several states away on a fairly regular basis and it handles well in all situations that we've had the pleasure of driving it.
