[quote=Anonymous]I did a really, really close comparison of them all this summer. CRV won for me for a few reasons:

- The vertical cargo room is significantly taller than the others. This was a big deal to me, and a few inches makes a big difference in that kind of SUV of if you can fit something in or not.

- The dash and center console was laid out much better on the CR-V for my preferences.

- The Rav-4 seats fold down and the head rest catches on the back pocket of the seat if you don't manually fold it down first. We looked at a few used ones and they ALL had ripped/stretched out pockets on the back of the seats due to that. Even after knowing it was an issue, I put the seats down at least once and forgot about it while looking a the car. I put the seats up and down a lot and knew I'd end up ripping that in my car. Very bad design. The way the CR-V seats fold down is quite a bit different (the seat portion folds up and the back folds down almost completely flat, the headrest automatically folds in) and was a huge thing that set it apart for the way I use my car.

I went with the CR-V with the top trim package and don't regret it at all. I guess how it looks is personal preference, I don't find it ugly and prefer the smooth lines of the CRV over some of the more jagged edges on the Rav-4 (although it wasn't a deciding factor at all for me). I can't remember some of the other details, I think the Rav-4 and the CRV were the same on this, but be sure to look at if there are memory seats/2 memory seats if that is important to you. That was a deal-breaker on some cars for us - had power seats but no memory.

Love my CR-V! And I was coming from a Lexus... very happy with the CRV, lots more usable cargo room. [/quote]
