Summary
The Honda CR-V is an excellent piece of work. It's much roomier than the RAV4. Even with more than 8 inches of ground clearance, the CR-V is not a good choice for off-road use. But it is loaded with nifty features and, for the kind of duties that most sport-utilities perform most of the time, its all-around practicality and comfort deserve high marks.
