among your choices, i prefer the RAV4. but take note that the interiors are really smaller than the CRV.

RAV4 also has better fuel mileage than the CRV.
looks wise, i prefer the CRV. since di ko gusto yung itsura ng 1G RAV (parang si lander ng voltes v).

I will go 1st gen CRV. The 1st gen RAV4 was small and it wasn't that pretty either.

Between gen1 Rav4 and CRV, for me,

maneuverability, acceleration, fuel economy, maintenance cost - Rav4
ride comfort, exterior and interior looks, interior space - CRV

reliability, resale value - both

Both are great SUVs, but if you could afford the slightly more costly maintenance and fuel consumption, I'd reco the CRV.

Good luck in your SUV pick and hunt later.
