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.

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.

Overall I have been very satisfied with my RAV 4. It is quite a bit better than my previous car which was a Mazda Tribute. It has the storage space that I need without being very wide or cumbersome to drive like larger SUVs. It is comfortable for a 6'3'' driver while not being overly large inside. The leather interior is good quality and all of the electronics are still functional after 5 years of use. It also still has a pretty good resale value after 6 years and 100,000 miles which is useful if I want to get a newer car. I would definitely look into another RAV4 when looking for a new car.
