Hello,

I have a 2002 CRV-EX with about 32,500 miles. I have been extremely
happy with it so far. This July will be 3 years that I have owned it.
Before I purchased it I did check out the Rav4. I compared them both
and in my opinion You got more bang for your buck with the Honda.
This is the 4th Honda I have owned so I am a little biased towards honda
but I believe either one would make somebody a great vehicle.
