Aside from the absence of a manual transmission, the CR-V is an excellentpiece of work. It's much roomier than the Rav4, has all sorts of nifty features and a respectable load of standard equipment. It's not the best choice for tough off-road use, even though it has 8.1 inches of ground clearance. But for the kind of duties that most sport-utilities perform, its all-around practicality and comfort are tops at the small end of the spectrum.
