Most are confident that Toyota's longstanding reputation for quality is proof of continual customer satisfaction. MSN is one of the reviews to write that "the RAV4 has been a noteworthy compact SUV, garnering attention for its awards and quality," and Kelley Blue Book mentions that among its competitors, "none have the RAV4's impeccable quality of reliability ratings."
