It is a little sporty for a small SUV. Sorry I can no longer get a new one with a manual transmission. I guess only 2% of them were being sold as manuals and Toyota just did not see any profit in keeping a manual version.

Good, solid car which is still performing well after 14 years and 180K miles.
See Pros and Cons above. This car handles like an underpowered SUV, it is no sports car but has performed very well indeed in the role(s) for which it was designed. It has aged very well and performs as well now as when it was new.
4 star

not the quality I hoped for
I thought the car looked great and I wanted a Toyota. I am disappointed in the quality of the car for example the doors feel light or not solid when shutting the doors. The visors are really cheap as well as the vanity mirrors.

Love this vehicle and have only good things to say about it
I like that it was easy to drive, park, handle. It continues to be very dependable and I feel it is overall a great, safe vehicle. I hate the loud road noise and riding in this car on long trips.

Recall Notices
2019 Toyota RAV4 (2/6/2020)
Campaign Number: 20V064000
Component Name: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Corporation
Description: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid, Camry, Camry Hybrid and Lexus ES300h and 2019-2020 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles equipped with 2.5L 4-Cylinder engines. Porosity in the engine castings may result in cracks than can allow coolant to leak internally and/or externally.
Defect: A coolant leak can cause the engine to overheat and cause a vehicle stall in conventional gasoline vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, for all involved vehicles, the engine may get damaged mechanically, possibly resulting in an engine oil leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
Corrective Action: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the engine including the engine block, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 6, 2020. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or Lexus at 1-800-255-3987. Toyota's number for this recall is 20TA04. Lexus' number for this recall is 20LA02.

1998 Toyota RAV4 (1/22/2020)
Campaign Number: 20V033000
Component Name: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR MODULE
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Corporation
Description: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 1998-2000 RAV4, 1998-1999 RAV4 EV and Celica and 1997-1998 Supra vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Defect: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant, and increases the risk of serious injury or death.
Corrective Action: The remedy for this recall is still under development. An interim letter notifying owners of the safety risk was mailed March 20, 2020. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's numbers for this recall is 20TB01 and 20TA01.
