I own 2004 CRV EX 4WD. It has lots of room than RAV 4 does. Overall it is a good car, but there are certain things you might want to know.
Cons:
1. The exhaust system (exhaust pines A, B, and Catalytic converter) is very expensive. It is estimated to be over $2000. I took my car to change tyre at Sears and they messed up the exhaust system. I didn't have evidence to proof that they did it, so I was ended up spending my own money. Speaking of changing tyres, now you know not to trust Sears to do good job on this simple procedure. If you have to go to Sears for these types of services, ask them to perform them in front of you.
2. Don't trust the EPA gas millage. Its always 4-5 miles lesser.
3. Complex AC system.
4. Low ground clearance, not that it would matter much.

Pros:
Smooth Ride, Roomy, and good visibility.
