CR-V -versus- Rav 4
I will be hoping to buy perhaps sometime next year.
Currently leaning towards the Rav 4. Which is better, the Rav 4 or Honda's CR-V ? Consumer Reports rates the CR-V better, but the Rav 4 is actually better, according to Consumer Reports. That's because CR highly recommends the CR-V even though the Rav 4 is better. Confused I am. -- ______________ =====fish===== |

CR-V -versus- Rav 4
CRV is bigger inside, has VSA (traction control), airbags all over, rollover
sensor. Only downside are the tires. THey are noisy and no grip. But most OEM tires are garbage and should be replaced ASAP with good rubber, as it makes the car.

Can the vehicle be ordered with better tires when negotiating at the dealer? -- ______________ =====fish===== |

CR-V -versus- Rav 4
Sparky Spartacus sez...
>> Which is better, the Rav 4 or Honda's CR-V ? > Did you proofread the above before you hit Send? Yes. Both vehicles are very similar in their respective reviews on Consumer Reports. Both have very similar styles, etc. The decision is very difficult since I have no idea if there are any major advantages one has over the other. The Rav 4 has a better "Reliability History". The CR-V is "Highly Recommended, but the Suspension is not rated as good as the Rav 4. Before I go to the respective showrooms to take a look and a test drive, I am seeking more information than Consumer Reports offers. I am basically saying that the CR-V is tied with the Rav 4. Neither one is better. So I ask for advice, thank you. -- ______________ =====fish===== |

CR-V -versus- Rav 4
do not own either one but if both are the same then i would look at the cost
of replacing wear and tear item between the two like brake timing belt etc. most of us do not think about the cost of ownership. i am still in disbelieve and shock that domestic vehicle parts are now cost much more than japanese brand and sometime even more than germans. my local honda list some of the replacement parts comparision and brand like hyundai and kia wear and tear item cost more than anyone else.

I'm at that stage also. Have become empty nesters, going to replace the wifes minivan and have decided on a CR-V. Evaluated other small SUVs. one of the final deciders was the fact that I never,ever see them advertised used in my area. They are either kept forever, handed down, or sold by word of mouth. I think the CR-V has more room and less rollover propensity than the Rav 4. |
