 This is our 2nd 4th-gen RAV4.  I had a 2013 which I sold after one year.  We purchased a 2016 Limited for my wife because she liked the looks and safety features.  The RAV is the probably the most disappointing car we have ever owned.  It is great on paper, but real life experience falls short of expectations.  Biggest issues are: 1) Very harsh / stiff ride.  Even small road imperfections translate into sharp, jarring bumps.  2) Uncomfortable seats.  Front seats are tiny and badly shaped.  I'm 5'7, 155 lb, and even being average-sized I feel like sitting on a chair designed for a child or a midget.  Rear seats aren't any better - flat and hard, like a wooden bench.  3) Noise.  Toyota improved the engine noise issue (which was terrible in the 2013 model), but road noise is still very bad.  I can hear every car around me - it's like riding with open windows.  Interior materials feel cheap.  Overall, the RAV feels like riding in a cheap $15k sub-compact, not a $30k SUV.  Very disappointing, and probably the last Toyota we will buy (after 5 other).  NOT RECOMMENDED.
