Default Toyota Rav4 verses... ?

First car, preferences? Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV, or Jeep Liberty -- all probably 2005s.































I need 4WD, will be driving mostly around town rather than on the highway, gas mileage is definitely on my mind, and driving smoothness and driving feel is a top priority. Also, comfort and outward style is a big factor. Opinions?















** I need 4WD because I drive on a lot of dirt roads that you can't get through in the winter without 4WD.

why not get FWD, better gas mpg considering your looking for it. Cancel out the Jeep for mpg































I'd go for the CRV

i'd go with the crv based on looks, but if you want good gas mileage and space id go with the rav4. jeep probably gets the worst gas mileage and theyre kinda ugly in my opinion.

I personally like the RAV although mine is older. I have a 96 with 175,000 miles that other than routine maintenance has never needed any other work. I understand the need for 4wd we have two front wheel drive cars along with the RAV there is no comparison on their ability levels in the snow and ice.

Both the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V are excellent vehicles. They both are on AutoOnInfo.net's very selective list of the Best of 2009 based on reliability over the past 10 years; however, only the Toyota RAV4 is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Best of 2009 based on reliability over the past 5 years. The Composite Reliability Value of the Toyota RAV4 is a perfect +1.00 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00.































The Jeep Liberty is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Worst of 2009 with a Composite Reliability Value of -.50.

You should consider a Ford Escape. Ford's Control-Trac 4x4 system monitors wheel slip 1000x a second. The 2005 escape got a more powerful 4 cylinder engine that gets 24 mpg city 29 mpg highway, overall 1 mpg better than a CRV and the same as a RAV4.
