Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 07, 2005 6:19 am) Sounds like a good message to recharge the Honda CR-V vs.Toyota RAV4 discussion with. Anyone cross shopping these two models, please check it out.   Steve, Host

Well, the stats I found are as follows:   RAV4 March sales: 6,233, YTD: 15,660 CR-V March sales: 13,639 YTD: 34,991   These are from Toyota's North American Sales and American Honda Sales reports for March 2005.   Not quite 4x, more like 2x, but definitely more.   --Dan

Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 07, 2005 6:19 am) The CRV is a good choice, not a better choice. The main reason why the CRV sells more is that it is larger than the RAV. The RAV on the other hand is better handling and has a slightly more functionnal interior. The CRV is also more mainstreem in design. The RAV is on the radical side. One more thing, the CRV's 4WD system is on demand (front wheel drive until slippage is detected). The RAV's 4 wheels are always engaged. You hit right on... buy what's right for you.

Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 07, 2005 6:19 am) IF you need the room, Honda might be better. Or Toyota Highlander (my choice). Got me laughing about the Honda salesman - you should go back just to prove him wrong about the sales figures and make him look like a jackass. Ford sells more Escapes/Tributes/Mariners than CRV or Rav, but that does not mean it is all around better. Depends on your needs or wants. New larger Rav should be out later this year.
#1815 of 2123 Roof Rack and Accessories by nikworth Apr 08, 2005 (12:10 pm)
I am purchasing a used 2003 RAV4. It doesn't have a roof rack at the moment, but I plan on getting one soon. Are there pros/cons to the traditional black or silver (JAC) roof racks sold by Toyota. Is the load capacity on these the same. Do both of these racks use Yakima and/or Thule accessories? Or would I be better off going with a Yakima or Thule rack system? Thanks.

I'd love to know any available details on the 2006 RAV. What changes will it have? Will a hybrid be available? Replies to this message: toycash (Apr 23, 2005 6:34 am)

Replying to: bolaws (Apr 20, 2005 5:34 pm) If everything was so easy to get to, then why did it take 4 hours?

Replying to: daryll44 (Apr 10, 2005 4:08 pm) The 2006 will be a totally new design and will offer a V6 option.

Replying to: ravraptor (Dec 16, 2004 8:48 pm) To get RAV4 was very smart from you. Toyota cars are today so far the best car on the road all over, even some (like MercedesBenz and Jaguar) are more expencive. What is the best: materials used to make, design, they have the best engineering, reliability, and durability. I am design manager in the company that design, manufacture, test and supplies with many parts (like pumps, transmissions,....) GM, Ford, and Chrisler, and overviewing MercedesBenz, VW, and BMW design, and sometimes get Toyota and Honda on the desk. So it is how i know about cars quality. NEVER TURN ENGINE ON AND THE SAME MOMENT PRESS GAS PEDAL, for it can damage journal bearings in the engine. You have better then you can imagine and now care for that baby. I have RAV4 also 2004 L, and it is my first Toyota. I had pt cruiser before i got a job in automotive industry here in Toronto. I also got new radio Alpine CDA-9835 and two speakers Alpine CDR-136. I have them for a while but still not instaled. My RAV4 was on starage for winter time. I would like to install that sound makers myself but would not like to damage anithing. If you have some picts how to remove Toyota radio and how to remove front door cover i will appriciate. Tires are important at high speed (140 km/h) and over. I got 235R16 tires with the car (and aluminum rims) and right away replaced tires with Michelin 236R16 Hydroedge. When i drive i more care that someone do not hit my car then how tires perform. 235 i think just looks nicer and that is all. We all like to have nice car so if you can get 235R16.
