TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Honda CR-V isn't exactly sprightly, but it nails efficiency on a few levels and finally brings more features to the family-wagon fight.

The 2014 Toyota RAV4 is sensible and spacious; but if driving fun is a priority, you can do better.

TCC Likes

Simple and tasteful, inside and out
Cabin is refined, quiet
Best seat-folding mechanism

Pert shape and clean styling
Responsive six-speed automatic
Standard rearview camera and Bluetooth

TCC Dislikes

Styling isn't adventurous
A bit plasticky inside
Steering feel lacks proper feedback

Lacks a V-6 or turbo option
No third-row seat
Back seat feels flat
