I didn't have the experience Ulieq did. My '23 Rav4 Hybrid Ltd is a fine car, drives smooth, pep enough, I have a lead foot but still am getting 38 mpg (my wife gets better), I enjoy the JBL and wireless Android auto, nice space in back, comfortable seats and ride, intuitive controls for all the basics, attractive to me trim, and most of the tech works fine. Storage capacity in the glove compartment and center console could be better. My most substantial tech complaint so far is that I've yet to find a way to disable the car from EVER adjusting my steering when using lane departure warning and radar-assisted cruise. There are a few other little tech glitches (I wish it were easier to turn the screen off and on when driving at night, and if anything there are too many setting options for the display behind the steering wheel), but mostly it's great. A way to think of it, maybe, is that the tech and safety are way ahead of what I had in the 2014 Rav4 I traded in for this, and cars in 2031 will be way ahead of what this is. The tech is developing, not perfect. All that said, our second car is a '21 Crosstrek. I know there were negative reviews of that car earlier in this thread, but I disagree. It's not at all poorly made or cheap. It is able, if underpowered (the '24 will have a bigger engine). It has comparable technology, is a fun, smaller, reliable, holds-its-value alternative if you're looking for one. I've had Toyotas and Subarus almost exclusively for decades (well, my '81 Ford Ranger PU is another story). Anyway, neither Subaru nor Nissan have a hybrid in the Rav4 class, and while my Rav4 hybrid in my opinion is the much better vehicle than our Crosstrek, it was also much more money.
