Toyota 2015 RAV4

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I have owned this vehicle for 2 years. The advertised combined MPG is around 49.6. In reality you can expect to get around 37mpg. 39mpg on a long run and around 32mpg around the doors. I have never achieved over 40mpg in this vehicle which is very disappointing.The vehicle handles ok for a big lump and having AWD means it will stick well on the corners. It handles well in wet or snowy conditions. In sport mode the engine runs sweet but the MPG will drop. The gear changes are crisp and precise. The vehicle is very spacious and comfortable. The stereo/media system is easy to use. The interior trim is ok apart from the cheap looking carbon fibre effect plastic. I really like the electric fold in mirrors. The boot space is huge and with back the seats folded down its like a mini van. My vehicle has the electric boot which is great when you have your hands full of shopping however it takes an age to close so expect to be standing around for a while when you get home after unpacking your shopping in the wind and rain waiting for your boot to close while everything gets soaked and all your stuff gets blown out of your boot before it eventually closes and you can then lock the car. The vehicle is quite reliable. I have had a fuel injector issue which was replaced under warranty and was finally fixed second time round. This is a good vehicle overall but what spoils it for me is the MPG.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The MPG is no where near what Toyota advertise.
