Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr SUV 259-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD w/low range |
Rear seats are cramped. Access is awful, with strange half-doors that require front doors to be open before they can be opened. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Too stiff and too upright with no adjustments see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |

Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |
2018 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
I initially noted that the well-bolstered driver seat felt "ok." But after a few hours in it my rear started to feel sore. To be fair, I haven't had enough seat time in competitors to state that they fit me better. And even if they do, this could just be me. People come in many different shapes and sizes, have different postures, and so forth. Pity seat designers! The upshot: no one else can tell you how comfortable a seat will be for you. Make the test drive as long as you can before buying. see full Toyota RAV4 review |
