1. A/C and heat are very slowly. Especially A/C is not cold enough.
Yellow Light

1. Stying is good. Looks pretty.
Review:
This car looks beautiful, this is the only reason I bought it, because it's for my wife who only cares styling.

I thought Toyota vehicle has a good quality, however, I was wrong. In the first 6 months, I went to dealer twice for repair.
1. The first one is there were a lot of spots caused by little stone in front bumper and engine hood side. Somebody may say: it's not Toyota's fault. But I would say I drove a Chev. Venture for 4 years on the same road, and none of that kind of spots.
2. Second one, I drove this car to Kentucky USA, only on highway, when I got there, I found the evaporator hose was broken. The dealer said Toyota would not admit this as a warranty, how could you imagine the customer broke the evap. hose when driving on highway?

Plus, this car's AC and heat performance is very bad, You have to wait long until you feel comfortable. Maybe it's because the small engine.

Different person has different opinion. But if you ask me, I will never buy any Toyota car and I would not recommend you to buy a RAV4.
