looser, i personaly got rav4 because to me it looked better than crv. had better expereinces with toyota than honda. i previously had civic and gave me lots of problems. It wasnt that old either, i bought it like new still problems. However with toyota no such problems. I think toyota drives more nicer too than honda. About recalls, its just a stupid floormat, but a damn tape on the carpet or something so it dont slide. They have fixed it in all the newer models anyways. I think people are just dumb and they need a sacrificial goat for american automakers to climb back in recession. On  the brightside, because of all this toyota have very good deals on financing. I got 0% apr and 2 year maintainance plan and 1000 doller recent graduate discount etc.. They also added the body side moldings, tint on mine. 

rav4 i think also has bigger room compared to crv and looks more like suv. Highlander is only a tad bigger in terms of size. Also i heard crv doesnt have much power where has 4 cylinder rav4 should be more than enough for daily use. I also personally like wheel on the back. Thats not the spare wheel, but a FULL SIZE REGULAR wheel and i think it looks better on the vehicle, gives it a distinct style. 

Only thing about rav4 is interior quality of plastics. But now when i think of it, it looks LOT CLEANER than CRV. My Old civic's dashboard and new CRV dashboard was more sci-fi look, suits better for teenagers. I think CRV kinda looks feminine too, I like cars with boxy shape. I personally like rav4 interior, maybe they could have used better materials but it is fine with me. Also I hate how in CRV, they use ugly looking plastics outside on doors. It just looks so cheap. The back taillights looks like it came off Maruti van and the front nose looks like it is squished. Go for Rav4 man, I think it is better overall choice. If you dont mind paying little extra, get a v6. It has same milage as crv 4 cylinder.
