We have a 2000 CRV and a 1997 Rav4, the CR-V is a nicer car to drive, engine has a bit more grunt. Both cars handle like a hippo in a jumping castle, but the CRV is definitely the more stable of the two. The Honda AWD system is pissweak, the transition from FWD to AWD is clunky and usually too late to be useful for around town driving - especially noticable in the wet. The Rav is pretty tough (3 kids learned to drive in it) and more reliable than the Honda. To its credit, the Honda towed a large, overloaded box trailer more than 500k's (including a fair amount of light off road tracks) without missing a beat. I think it might be a general Honda thing, but the CRV needs to be maintained fastidiously or it starts playing up / things start breaking. Both cars have their good and bad points.
I like the X-trail, but why did they make it so gaddamn hideous!? It looks like a giant shoebox with wheels!
