Im still not decided. I test drove a 99 Rav 4 today and it was nice. Also test drove a 98 CR-V equally good but roomier lang and I really like its dashboard.

oh btw, the gen1 CRV that has the OD button is the CRV with the B20Z motor. Has 146 hp compared to the previous (B20B) 126 hp motor. Funny how very few people even used car salesmen don't know about this (pareho lang daw iba lang yung takip ng engine hahaha). I think it was the 4th quarter 1999 to 2001 CRV models that came out in the Philippines that had this engine. Medyo mahal pa ang mga CR-V na nasa year model na to. na sa 480 to 520 pa compared to the 98-99 CRV and 98-99 Rav na 400 to 450.

So far I have short listed the following pros that I have for both

CRV
- I like the dash board and instrumentation
- More torquey Engine
Rav 4
- I like its look better than the CRV
- It has a more fuel efficient engine than the CRV

Looking at the prices for the same year models, I think halos pareho lang resale value nila.
