Hey there.. Need some advice on a buying a new SUV. The 2007 4 cylinder versions of the Toyota Rav4 and 2007 Honda CRV fall within my budget but am wondering which one to get. From what I read online, the Rav4 has better reviews in terms of performance,etc. I'd appreciate some first hand opinions on what to get.

Thankss
 
From what I see online, it'll cost more... I'm getting a Rav4 almost fully loaded ( minus the leader and sunroof ) for $23k and about the same for the CRV. Hence I'd prefer to stick to the Toyota/Honda
 
My parents were in for the CRV but then things caused them to RAISE their budget and ended up buying a Acura RDX
 
I'm somewhat looking at both vehicles as well (RAV4 and CRV). The Xterra does cost a bit more but gets crappy gas mileage because of the V6.

but you do want the V6 if you load lots of gear into your car.
 
I don't like the looks of the CRV...my mom has a RAV and it's a nice little vehicle. She hardly drives it (about 5-7k miles a year) but it looks like new and was a 1999.

The only things it's needed has been tires. We threw on a new set of struts and shocks that came on sale down here my dad picked up and it rode a lot nicer than even new.

 
the Rav4 has option for V6 which only takes away an avg of 1 mpg (same goes for AWD).
Then the difference (to me) is having a normal trunk hatch or the swinging door.
Toyota and Honda are both very good overall.

I think that since the CRV switched to the lift up gate, they dropped the full-size spare tire.

As always: test drive both and pick the one you like best~
