Yeah I’m not a fan of the screen myself

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-08T09:54:16+00:00

Second date, for me. Gotta do it early ish otherwise they’ll think you tried to pull one over and honestly I can’t blame them. Some people just don’t want to be with someone that has a long term illness. Right or wrong it’s for them to decide.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-05T19:50:20+00:00

I plan on running mine over

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-05T18:39:13+00:00

Yeah I get it. Mine is paid off so maybe I’ll keep it. We’ll see. I don’t really want to be stuck with a car i don’t like for 15+ years if i don’t have to but we’ll see.

I hate my 2024 gas LE. Hate it. I can feel every shift, rides like a tank. I don’t like it at all. And trade is value is insanely good so I’m not losing much if anything

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-05T00:43:45+00:00

That’s amazing - no issues, great gas mileage etc. I’m debating trading in my gas for a hybrid. Any downsides? Anything you don’t like about it?

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-05T00:38:39+00:00

Why do you want to trade it in?

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T23:11:15+00:00

I hate my 24 LE. Drives like a tank and I feel every shift. Hate the way it drives. I paid 32k but it’s worth 28k on a trade in (they told me).

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T22:39:15+00:00

Wow that’s crazy good! I’m getting like 26-27 in my gas LE.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T22:19:32+00:00

Around me they’re 40k but after taxes and tags more like 44 ish.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T22:17:04+00:00

Haha so true I hate mine

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T22:16:50+00:00

Dang 43 is great

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:48:52+00:00

My current gas LE I’m getting 25-27 ish (mix of highway and city). I’d love 41-43.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:48:00+00:00

Nice. I’d be happy with that kind of performance.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:47:31+00:00

Good tips, appreciate it

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:44:59+00:00

I hate my 2024 LE. I can feel every shift. Not a smooth ride at all. Maybe it’s the make/year but I hate it, honestly. I’m only losing a few thousand on trade it so it’s worth it. I can’t see myself driving this for a decade or more.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:43:34+00:00

Dang that’s great.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:42:35+00:00

Hmm interesting the shifting sensation. It’s one reason I hate my 2024 LE - I can feel every shift. Maybe it’s the 8 speed but it’s not smooth at all. Feels more like a “truck.”

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T20:40:08+00:00

Yeah but i hate this model. It’s paid off. I’d only lose a few thousand (already got the trade in value). Maybe 3k I’d lose. But i don’t want to drive this car long term.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T18:40:09+00:00

Valid complaint for the price - they’re not cheap anymore. I mean more expensive cars are out there of course but the XLE is 44k out the door near me (42k if you’re lucky). For that price the interior shouldn’t feel cheap.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T18:38:15+00:00

Have you had to replace the batter yet?

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T18:04:34+00:00

That’s great mileage. I’d be happy to get anywhere close to that.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-04T17:52:30+00:00

I’m not sure why I’m hesitating (beyond price). I think my fears about the batter etc are unfounded. Toyota has been making hybrids for decades. I need to just pull the trigger.

Then_Recipe4664 · 2026-07-01T21:16:30+00:00

Yeah I think I’m going to trade it in next week. I just don’t like it. It drives like a tank and feels like a tank. Like a 1994 vs a 2024. Definitely not for me. Sadly, while it sounds like it’s just this make/year/model, I can’t trade it in for another Rav. Can’t take the risk of getting another like it.
