I traded my 2002 CRV for a RAV4 Sport 4 cyl. in Flint Mica a couple of weeks ago. Wow what a difference. The RAV is much quieter, more comfortable and just feels more solid and I think the RAV looks much better than the CRV. By the way I'm 6' 3" and I have plenty of leg room.
My milage has been 22 to 24 mpg in town with a high of 27 mpg on the interstate at 65 to 80 mph.
I have added a XM reciever that I currently have hidden in the upper console. This works fine for now but long term I think Audiovox is coming out with a set up that will play thru any stock radio with RDS capability and will display text information on the stock radio. (Yet to confirm that a JBL radio is RDS compatable)
I plan on installing mud flaps this weekend.
The only negative to the RAV is that the height of the cargo area is less than the CRV and I will have to lay my bicycle on its side to transport it in the cargo area, with the CRV's cargo area height I could take the front wheel off and secure the bike in a vertical postion, and have the rest of the floor space for my gear. I will be exploring options for bike transport including roof rack and trailer hitch racks.
This site has been very helpfull and thanks to all who have posted their experiences. :
