 I was really excited to buy the 2015, but ended up trading it in. The ride is so stiff and firm that you can feel virtually every bump in the road. It's harsh, jarring, and so uncomfortable. If you are driving on anything but perfectly even pavement, it will feel extremely rough. Like many, I bought the car because I have a very outdoorsy lifestyle, i.e. frequent trips to trails, forest roads, etc. The Rav simply could not keep up; the suspension design is AWFUL--it slams over bumps and feels very bouncy and unstable. There were frequent rattles from the cheap plastic on the interior, which drove me nuts, and the AWD was sub par at best. I would not recommend this vehicle for anyone who likes to venture outside of city limits. Unfortunately, I also believe that the brake system is flawed- they often felt "spongey" and unresponsive. I was experiencing excessive vibration while braking at 20K, and found out that I had completely warped/worn rotors. A practically new vehicle should not require a repair like that.
