We were so excited to share our news that we were reviewing the 2015 Toyota RAV4 Limited--I know quite a few people have been asking about how we're liking it and we're excited to share our thoughts and also give you a driver's seat tour in this YouTube video we made below:
Seriously, ya'll! The 2015 RAV4 Limited is super sporty and also feminine!
Literally the perfect fit for me and Adam!
It has a lot of really great qualities that both Adam and I look for in a car we want to invest in; for instance, the audio system is fantastic! It comes with XM station capabilities, and the bluetooth connection is flawless. We tested this with both my iPhone 4S and his iPhone 6--connected really well and quickly. I was sold on that! I have a lot of pre-made playlists I like to enjoy so having that feature work for me was crucial.
Luckily, the bluetooth technology on the RAV4 is perfect!
From Tempe to Downtown Phoenix, from Chandler to Fountain Hills--this car rides like a beauty! We even had a little bit of rain here in the valley, so I got to test out the RAV4 while it was drizzling out--needless to say, I am impressed! Safety is always a concern as well when I am considering investing in a car, and between how it handled in the rain and the awesome safety features that comes with it I felt incredibly safe on every drive!
the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert!
Phoenix is a huge city, so when you're driving you know that you have a possibility of another car sneaking up on you when you need to merge or change lanes. These features aid in any hesitation you may face when driving in a populated (or not so populated) area. For instance, the first time I really noticed the Blind Spot Monitor was around dusk driving home--there was a black car driving behind me that did not have its lights on yet, and admittedly, I may not have seen them if I hadn't gotten the alert message on my driver's side mirror indicating there was someone in my blind spot.
And another feature that I want to specifically share with you all is the Backup Camera!
Adam and I just made a huge visit to the mall and outlets for Christmas shopping and as you all may know: everywhere is packed this time of year! We are talking every single spot in the parking lot is filled, and there are hundreds of people roaming around the parking lot. The other night, we made a special trip at night for dinner and shopping. When we were leaving, there was a gigantic truck parked poorly behind us and both cars next to us were encroaching on our spot. Needless to say, it was a nightmare situation to pull out and leave. Well, the 2015 RAV4 Limited Backup Camera saved us! Not only did it make things easier for us to pull back out and leave the crowded mall, but I honestly don't know how I ever drove without a Backup Camera! This is an absolute must-have feature for me in a future car!

If you get a chance, be sure to stop by your local Toyota dealership or car show to check out the 2015 Toyota RAV4 Limited (and all their other models!)
All in all, Adam and I adore everything about the 2015 RAV4 Limited and we LOVE Toyota!
Have you ever owned a Toyota?
I would LOVE to test out one of these bad boys! It looks awesome, and super comfortable!
ReplyDeleteIt is very comfortable inside from the driver's seat!
DeleteThat RAV 4 looks sweet! I am in the market for a new vehicle. Might have to check that out!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah you definitely should, Jennifer!
DeleteI have a Toyota Sienna and love it. It is 5 years old and runs great. I love all the space too.
ReplyDeleteI have driven the Sienna as well and I am a huge fan!
DeleteI need to look into a new car in the next year or so and I have always been curious about the Toyota RAV4. In the past I thought they were too small of an SUV for me, but your photos shows they are much bigger now and looks so sporty and chic! I need to check them out because of your review. Thank you! - Cara of http://StylishGeekBlog.com :)
ReplyDeleteYou are SO welcome! Glad you found it helpful, Cara! Yes, there was lots of space for sure and definitely sporty AND chic!
DeleteThis looks like a cool car. My husband has a Toyota Prius right now and he really likes it.
ReplyDeleteI have never driven a Prius but I have heard amazing things about them, too!
DeleteI considered the RAV4 a few years ago, but I'm liking the newer models much more now. I'll be car shopping in the next few years, and maybe I'll come back to the RAV4.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean--I would definitely give it a test drive! I really liked it a lot!
DeleteThis sounds like a nice family car, thank you for your review and Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome! And thank you--same to you and your family as well!
DeleteLooks very sporty and gas mileage is good!
ReplyDeleteYes absolutely!
DeleteI love the 2015 Toyota Rav4 Limited has a Blind Spot Monitor. I think that all cars should come equipped with this automatically. It saves lives.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely could not agree more!
DeleteWhat a beauty of a vehicle!!
ReplyDeleteRight?!
DeleteI am so drooling over that car! I love Toyota's and we need a new car, although it's is another few years down the road in our budget.
ReplyDeleteI totally hear you!
DeleteI want one of these!! I especially like all of the bells and whistles like that BackUp Camera. I could totally use one of those.
ReplyDeleteMmmmhmm the bells and whistles are like no other!
DeleteI currently have a 2010 Rav4 and I love it. I sure wouldn't mind having a new one. Thank you so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou are SO welcome--glad you are already enjoying a RAV4!
DeleteSharp looking vehicle, they've come a long way from the first boxy versions. My dad loves his Tundra, but I've never had a Toyota. With 5 kids all the time and a limited budget, our vehicle choices tend to be a bit larger than the RAV.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is understandable for sure! I am glad you are a Toyota family though!
DeleteThese pictures make this vehicle look awesome! I would get one for sure..my brother in law has one.
ReplyDeleteYeah that Arizona desert makes for a nice background for a photo of a great car ;-)
DeleteWe owned a Toyota Matrix for years and it was used and abused but still seems to weather the storm. We need something larger and I love your review for the Toyota RAV4 SUV. It is a good looking vehicle but also its TOYOTA!! Jumping up and down!! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! You know a car is reliable after years and years of use and it doesn't affect the way that it runs! That is awesome! And thank you :)
DeleteI want one of these. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteOooh, that's nice! That's on my list for when it comes time to get a new car.
ReplyDeleteCool!
DeleteI want a back up camera and heated seats on my next car purchase.
ReplyDeleteYup, a Backup Camera is definitely on my must-haves.
DeleteThis looks like it is a great car and is built for the whole family
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteSounds like a great vehicle. I have heard great things about this car.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fantastic vehicle for sure!
DeleteI've heard nothing but good things about Toyota vehicles, so I'm not surprised that this one is awesome. Thanks for the fun videos!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO welcome!
DeleteThis is so nice. It would be perfect for my daughter and her little family. She has a small car and she surely needs something like this.
ReplyDeleteYeah this would be great for a smaller family that needs more space in a car!
DeleteThis is great!! We're looking to trade in our Ford Focus for something bigger as we have two growing boys. Seems like this is a great option!
ReplyDeleteFor sure! It definitely has a lot more space than any Focus I've ever sat in, and I can imagine it being perfect for a family of 4-5 absolutely!
