    Damn good looking car, congrats. My wife has 2010 RAV 4 Sport has V6. She is looking at new RAV4 adventure. Although I think she will drive this car into the ground. She loves the V6. How is the noise in the RAV4? Only complaint I have is in cabin noise. It’s real loud on road trips.

    The Rav4 is Toyota's #1 selling vehicle. No. Not the Camry. The Rav4 is. That's why you'll notice all the advertising focused towards it.

    What transmission comes in a 2019 Rav4?

    We have a 2007 Rav4. That thing is so stupid easy to get into. Out of. And load crap into the far back (has the exterior spare wheel/tire, so you get the secret cocaine smuggling compartment in the lower back).

    Cocaine compartment is because you don't have the 3rd row.

    I think 2019 model is pretty popular. Whenever I visited dealership lots of people were test driving it.

    my wife has a 2014 crv, we tested the rav4 back then and frankly the crv was much better, after test driving the new rav4 she really liked it, but the crv is paid for and its got 60000 miles, i think we will drive it to the end.

    Congrats! The 19's do look sick. I like the new Camry's too. Not sure if Toyota is upping their game or if it is just me getting older.

    We are also a Toyota family. Love it!

    Same combo here. Back in January we were looking at the 2019 Rav but I couldn't walk away from the deal on the 2018.

    The Camry is my daily driver now. Started a new job last year and needed something other than the Tundra for commuting. Decided to get the wife an SUV.

    My wife has a 2010 v6 also, hers is a limited and it's hilarious how overpowered that engine is for the poor corolla chassis it's on. The v6 is silky smooth and I wish it were still an option on the new one, since it got moved to the camry platform which can probably handle the power much better.

    We just bought it today and drive it all today. So far she loves it. I think Rav4 has all the technology out there. It has sunroof, Awd, Blind spot monitor, leather seats, different driving modes for snow, sports, economy, mud.

    Yeah, i drove the rav all last week and have to say its a great driving little scooter. The AWD really makes highspeed cornering fun...just as long as the wife isnt in the car,lol.

    The Toyota RAV4 comes with two years of free maintenance with oil changes and routine service in addition it seems to handle better in the snow when comparing both options, I’d choose the RAV4 ;)

    I had a 2010 v6 AWD Limited and was active on the RAV4 forums. That gen Rav was on its own chassis, not a Corolla based chassis (the older ones were though). It was WAY overpowered, and could easily outrun the brakes and suspension....but I loved gapping all the bubbas I work with in thier 5.3Gm or 5.7Hemi trucks. Parents had a 2015 Limited that was a downgrade in all areas vs the 2010 Limited, and it need a transmission at 80k.
    The new ones look great, hope they are built better than the 2015s.

    I bought a warranty for 10 years and 100,000 miles. And it covers everything.

    We are a Tundra/4runner family but I will say I really like the look of the new 2019 RAV4. They look 10x better then the older models. Congrats on the new ride.
