Just for reference, in Car and Driver magazine comparative tests, the RAV4 beats the CRV in both tests,

Some random thoughts...

In terms of interior ergonomics and seating comfort, its the CRV. I'm not a big fan of its foot activated parking brakes.

The RAV4 does not have a comfortable back passenger seats. The passenger sits closer to the floor, almost as if the seats are made for midgets. But the fold flat passenger seats make for much more cargo room than the CRV's tumble only seats. Ridiculous spare tire mounted on the hatch door.
