Happy So Far, despite quirks
 I have owned this car for over three years and 44,000 miles. First of all compared to my CR-V 2010 (EX-L with Nav) this car is definitely more refined, except the nav which is actually more functional on the 8 yr old Honda. The quality of materials is top notch and the seats are comfortable for me (5'6" tall medium build). The acceleration is smooth and effortless and the visibility, even without all of the active safety features in the XLE, is good. The storage options are great and the second row captains chairs are awesome. One issue is the third row seats do not have a latch system. This may be an issue for some and I know I wish they had LATCH .   The car is quiet and handling is solid. For gas milage I have been getting about 18 mpg with mixed driving. I was hoping for a little bit better but I am ok with it, especially with the fact it takes regular unleaded fuel, not premium.  Some annoyances are that the climate system makes this low buzzing noise sometimes quite often. (Updated: that seems to have stopped or I have blocked it out. Either way I don't hear it anymore.) The voice control system is a total joke. I have not gotten it to ever work right and so I just don't use it. I had a similar system in my CR-V and it did work slightly better but I still don't use it. Bluetooth works consistently until recently. Now it sometimes disconnects and the radio will actually reset itsef!  An issue that is minor but annoying is the fact that using the audio is a little bit of a pain. Update: this seems to have gotten worse despite a software update. The up arrow on the steering wheel goes through the channel list in reverse order but as seen on screen whereas it goes through audio songs on bluetooth in the opposite direction. I have made the highest number stations at the top so using the steering wheel arrows to change channels now makes sense.  The nav is a miserable endeavor.  The list of deficiencies is long: there is no way to mute the nav voice guidance, you cannot scroll on the map, the traffic info is useless, the directions are often silly, I bought a mount for my iPhone and  just use that.  Be ware that Toyota has no plans to update to any sort of apple or google CarPlay/android auto. Bottom line don't buy this car for the tech.  The screen is nice on the nav but the thrills end there.  Finally another annoyance is the text message notifaction. At first it seems great: you can hit the read button and it will read the text to you, however imagine being on a group text?!?! There is annoying chime that sounds with every new text, sometimes you just want to silence it but you cannot unless you turn off the feature for every single text!! Nice touches that I love include power lift gate, accessible rear window, it opens on its own, push button start and one touch locking/ keyless entry, large center storage, beautiful and logical set up driver cluster (speedometer, tachometer etc).  In snow and rain this car is a beast. I feel very safe.  One last thing, the car has developed a creaking noise when giving over speed bumps.  Service dept couldn't reproduce it. I will keep on it.  Would I get this car again or recommend it? Yes I would.  It is a good car that is well appointed and can see myself driving for many years.  The 2017 is going to be updated with new safety tech for xle model and is worth a look.  The nav will continue to be a nightmare I am sure but not a deal breaker for me.  Updates. Brakes replaced at 28K, 400 dollars at a local shop. 800 at Toyota. New tires were $1000 at a local shop.  Have serviced car regularly at Toyota except brakes and tires for a few hundred dollars total over the past 3 years. Next service will be at a local shop. Toyota reliability is true. Comfort is there, and it feels expensive, but if tech is your main concern- look elsewhere until they get entune  3.0 and apple/google sorted out on new models.
