Gd dy all. Pls I need ur candid advice, I know we hv experienced pple in d hse.

Which would u prefer: Toyota RAV4 or Honda CRV? Considering maintenance cost, durability, fuel economy, parts availability, road touts disturbance, etc.

Pls help. Thx in adv.

What year models are we lookin @?

My brother, Rav 4 of each CRV model is always better. Rav 4 is stronger and more reliable

I would choose a rav4 over honda crv

Some toyota years models have tranny issues, see link for details

In those years the crv is better as a used car

nice one.
So toyota could sometimes be "bad thinking, bad product"

98 - 2000 CR-V has got good MPG (Miles Per Gallon) especially on a Highway drive. I enjoyed the comfort and smoothness while driving my CRV.

Don't allow people deceive you. Yes toyota make good products but i think sometimes they're overrated. The model you've specified, I'd advice you go for a honda. Way cheaper to maintain and rugged too, and perhaps finer.

thx all. pls can i hv more constructive comparison? stil cant decide yet....

pls i'm also interested....

Rav 4

CRV is ugly ... In my own opinion

like not too many folks here use dis SUVs.

CRV 1997-2000 is very very rugged. I have a 1999 CRV. Very roomy and I'm enjoying it. I have not tried rav4.

Good mileage per gallon. Easy to maintain, cheaper parts has the crv. What kind of constructive critisism do u want again. Perhaps u can go to edmunds review online and check reviews on both then make ur choice. Merry xmas.

thx all. i think i'm tryin to settle 4 crv....

That‘s ma little boy on ma 97 CRV

No big deal.
Go to Ladipo spare-parts market in Lagos for Toyota.
Go to Oyingbo spare-parts Market in Lagos for Honda.
Find out the prices of parts like engine, gear, shock absorber, e.t.c.
Simply compare and contrast.

Thx. But I'm nt in Lagos. Hw do i know dis diff.? Or which of d 2 precisely would u hv voted?

I will recommend 1997 - 2000model Rav4 as first choice. Do you intend buying one soon?

I love my 97 CRV! It‘s better than 1997 - 2000 Rav4!

@kaymax. yes. any clean offer?

worldgee: @kaymax. yes. any clean offer?

What I have on ground is CRV but can source any option you need ASAP depending on your budget..

@kaymax. So what CRV do u have to offer?

If ur still fnkn of which to buy ask dealers the most sold of the two last year...one dealer said he sold 10 crvs last yr. The ride is selling cos its good. Even for resale its easy. A full crv engine is 45k only u can imagine. So its cheap to maintain too...
