I'm looking at these two automobiles (2007/08); which has the more reliable engine - they’re both similar in cost.


Answer:
That's a fairly easy question to answer. The Toyota RAV4 has the better V-6 engine since Honda doesn't offer a V-6 in the CR-V, just an I-4.

If you're looking at compact, 6-Cylinder SUVs, also consider these:

Chevrolet Equinox

Dodge Nitro

Ford Escape

Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai Tuscon

Jeep Liberty

Kia Sportage

Land Rover LR2

Mazda CX-7

Mazda Tribute

Mercury Mariner

Mitsubishi Outlander

Pontiac Torrent

Saturn Vue

Subaru Forester

Suzuki Grand Vitara

Volkswagen Tiguan

All of the above SUVs are compact SUVs that offer V-6 engines. In fact, the only compact SUVs nowadays that don't are the Honda CR-V, Honda Element, and Jeep Patriot, which are 4-Cylinder only.

As for reliability, the top marks for the type of automobile you're looking for go to the Ford Escape, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda Tribute, Mercury Mariner, Mitsubishi Outlander, Pontiac Torrent, Subaru Forester, and Toyota RAV4, which all scored well above the class average. Outright win, though, goes to the Subaru, which beat the Mitsubishi and the Toyota for the top spot. As far as I know, there isn't any data out yet on the Dodge Nitro, Jeep Liberty, Mazda CX-7, and Volkswagen Tiguan yet, so they could also be reliable.

I hope this has answered your question. If you have any more, please feel free to ask.


Answer:
the CRV doesnt have an optional V6.

I personally would recommend the Rav4 if you need more seats because the model that year could seat up to 7 people.


Answer:
The RAV-4 since the CR-V doesn't offer a V-6 engine.
