I have found this vehicle comfortable and where I live, 15-18 months to get a new Toyota RAV4
Like: Comfort (better than RAV 4 in mid-trim), the range of things I can adjust (vehicle features, heated seat levels, how high the back hatch opens, and many more), the comfortable entry and travel compared to vehicles of equivalent cost. My father-in-law has had both knees done, so he can't go to a 90 degree bend and he's 6'1". I also like grab handles on all 4 doors. The dealership has so far impressed me - from salesman, sales manager, finance manager. NFC cards instead of fobs - good. Have no connectivity issues (both iPhone 16 and Motorola G 2024 5G). The space is better than my old Escape. It turns sharp. I love the huge moonroof, I like the 3 backup camera mode with the cross-traffic as I live where our driveway is right next to a 12' cedar hedge... so backing out has always been 'honk, creep, pray'. I do find the dash cluster very readable and the speed notifications by location (maps feature) is a nice thing if you aren't paying enough attention. Things I don't like that are in software, I can adjust or decline to use. What do I not love: The wipers need to get used to and probably need better ones - but I've had to do that with Escape, Mustang GT, F-150, Grand Caravan, Journey R/T, and others. I have some challenge getting in, but that's a problem in the Grand Caravan as well. I whack my head as my back seems to be more of my height. I also would like to see better cup holders - they'll hand cans or some small-based cooler flasks. Ironically, the big one that said Hyundai that I got as a 'thanks for buying a car' reward is too wide to fit in any of the cup holders. I do concern myself with the CVT vs. a traditional automatic with 6-8 gears - at some point, the CTV will need a new belt and bet it is a wear part in the warranty. Also, I was subject to minor upset when they didn't have the paper brochure for the vehicle - seems like everything will be going paperless fairly soon.
