I just updated my blog with a post and :06 video (Thanks Vine) about our favorite things over the first 1078 miles.

No gasoline, 100% Electric, charge up in our garage every night.
Consistent 94 mile range with mostly 70 to 75mph driving in Standard Charge Mode. Range of 125 to 150 in extended charge mode depending on driving style and weather.
Two glove boxes. A smaller one above for glasses and other small things and a larger one below.
Large Navigation/Entertainment Screen with Reverse Camera.
Cargo capacity, seats fold almost flat. Two additional large storage areas under rear area floor. (Not having a spare tire helps)
Amazing LED headlights on low beam. They light up the road wonderfully.
Seating for 5 with headrests for all passengers.
Sun Visor Extender that almost covers the entire front window for both driver and passenger.
Not shown in video but power outside mirrors that fold in and out with push of button.
Things I miss or don't like:
Regenerative Braking that allows single pedal driving like on the BMW ActiveE (our former vehicle) and upcoming i3.
Backlight on the Steering Wheel. The only button that has any lighting at night is the Mode button. Can't believe Toyota missed this one.
Rear Beepers to go along with the rear camera. Many times something may be just out of camera range off to the side. Rear Beepers would assist in these situations.
Overall as you can tell, we're loving the Rav4 EV and look forward to participating in the forum as the miles roll along.
