 The RAV4 Platinum edition is about as nice as you can get in a small SUV. The standard safety package is outstanding and should prevent a lot of accidents. Performance is really great, especially when in the sport mode. Interior noise is a little higher than I would like, and the ride a little harsh.   Controls are intuitive. Entertainment system great. I don't much like the navigation system. Not very good at rerouting when you deviate from the programmed route. Fuel economy is good on the open highway. In town it is totally dependent on the driving conditions. Every car I've owned in the last few years has delivered the same figures, regardless of advertised mpg.
