I used to own a 2009 RAV4 with the V6.
The only great thing about that car was it's engine. Everything else was cheap or bland. The handling was awful - way to front-heavy (the V6 used the exact same suspension as the i4) and gas mileage was mediocre to just bad. The transmission was laggy and the steering was totally numb. The brakes also were soft and terrible and the pads/rotors had short lifespan (yes I know the way I drive matters but I have had many other cars and compared to those, this one chewed through brakes all the time.)
The interior was awful and cheap and had bad ergonomics - car was made for someone with really long arms and really short legs. The "leather" was a joke. The road noise was loud. The JBL stereo with a sub in the rear gate sounded awful and caused rattles.
I currently drive a Mazda cx5 with turbo and it is MILES better than the RAV4. This one is just as fast, but gets about 6-8mpg better efficiency. The steering, suspension and handling are amazing. It's reliability should be roughly on par with RAV4.
