    I think the base cars are the best, very simple to take care of, and less maintenance too, and less costs to fix.

    It's good to have this. There are people that are perfectly content with these options. The lower price also attracts retirees, single income , etc.

    Florida here. My 2024 LE did not come with the blind spot monitor system or the heated seats. However, it did come substantial rubber mats throughout, including my trunk area. Great to combat the Florida sand.The MSRP was a couple thousand lower, too. I wish it had a back hatch release inside the car, but it doesn't. Not a deal breaker for me. Not crazy about the automatic start/stop, but there is a button to turn it off when I start the car. Glad it has a key instead of push button start. As you can see, the wheel covers look pretty nice. The only option I want that it doesn't have is fog lights. However, there is al local company that can install them for me.There are places on the front for them and a vacant switch inside the car. Overall, I love my 2024 LE! I stuck to my budget and am not lamenting getting all the fancy stuff. I'd do it again. Anyway, an engineer would tell you the more connections or gadgets you have, the more potential points of failure. Looking forward to having this car for many years:)

    I love my RAV4 2013 I just hit 151,000 last week. Last year I put 7,500 dollars into it. I replaced the sway bar, front shocks and struts, all rotors, all breaks, new tires and had to replace the muffler. Last week I paid 850 to replace the drive shaft. I live near Cleveland Ohio where salty roads eat up a car from underneath. But my frame is good and the car has been paid off for years. I bought it with only 8,000 miles on it. I’m the second owner and I’ll keep it as long as it runs. Trying to reach 300,000 miles.

The only thing I wish my 23 Camry LE would have is the Blind Spot Monitoring, and Heated Mirrors. Besides that I'm Happy.

Looks amazing. Only wish more ambient lighting inside and the the window/lock switches were illuminated. I swapped them out with after market and looks great. Also added the lighting to the cubbies on the dash.

    Just got a 24' LE AWD with a $6000 discount on the sticker price. Is that too basic? The only thing I can complain about (after having a 21' 4Runner Premium) is the smart key system. I don't miss anything else. The LE is definitely a bargain and a huge value when buying a Toyota. Easy to service. Easy to maintain. Great fule economy. Simple and totally useful model that works unless you are into moonroofs and power seats and stuff like that.

    In Canada we have front heated seats only. 5 usb ports. I saw a US video the LE has in the rear 12v cigarette adapter if this is correct. Winter floor mats are included. We also have front window de icer not sure if US model has it. The side mirrors have the turn signal indicator . I'm thinking the US model does not. So I'm guessing that is why the Canadian model is more money. Plus we pay more taxes.

    If you want the newest, latest and greatest, then Toyota is not for you. They are not a progressive and flashy company. They are subtle .They are slow to change, making sure everything is calculated. Their focus is reliability. They look at things long term. They don’t get caught up in the newest thing, they remain with logic.You can look at most of the Toyota vehicles like this, “ the car looks good enough, but I know it’ll last me if I treat it right”. That’s Toyota in a nutshell.
