This is a very subjective area, but in general, the RAV4 compares very well to it's competition. Same reliability as Toyota, more interior room, more powerful engine. Worse off-road performance.
Poor engineering touches all around.
Rough ride, uncomfortable seating, difficult access to cargo area. Styling like a station wagon. Very car-like ride, low ground clearance, comfortable. Reactive 4WD system, similar to CR-V. Fuel efficient. Full-featured, excellent value.
