Planning to buy a mini SUV.Should i go for the CRV,Rav,Suzuki Grand Vitara or Hyundai Santa fe?
I am planning to buy a mini SUV.I liked the CRV but the high price for both Rav and CRV.How abt the less famous ones like Suzuki Grand Vitara.I was in Australia recently i saw many Suzuki's Vitaras around i liked the styling and the 2.7 L engine than the 2.4L of the others.Another one is the Santa Fe. Hyundai seems to be making value for money cars.They have improved considerably as shown by many consumer reports studies.Having reliability comparable to Toyota's. I have a 95 model Accord which was damn reliable.And i have a soft corner for Honda CRV.But they are so costly.Hondas & Toyota's they charge a high premium for their cars.

Go for either the Honda or Toyota....DO NOT BUY any other make.... Suzuki?? U must be out of your mind... The Toyota is probably the best choice

This is my second CRV. I always buy Honda because I know when I leave the house in the morning to go to work - I know it will start. I have never had one problem with Honda.

Honda and Toyota do have the best reputation, but as you said you have to pay for that reputation. In my opinion, out of the ones you listed the Hyundai Sante Fe is the best vehicle and value for your money. Thousands cheaper than either the Toyota or Honda, more power if you go with the bigger engine Hyundai offers, more room (not much but every little bit helps) and the warranty Hyundai has with there vehicles is awesome, 5 yr 60k Bumper to Bumper and 10 yr 100k powertrain warranty. I would stay away from the Suzuki right now, reliabilty is questionable, and the company itself is in a funk which could lead in the future to dealers getting rid of franchises and that would create a lot of headaches for Suzuki owners and warranty repairs.

It depends on how much you want to spend as well as what you are going to be happy with, all cars have there up side and their down, Suzuki's Vitaras are a reliable car ,Hyundai don,t always hold their price etc The big thing is value for money and availability of parts than running costs and reliability You must weigh up all parameters about each car and make a choice from that,
5 :
The Honda CR-V is the best choice because it is the most reliable out of the whole group.

Hyundai Santa Fe has really improved this last year. The 2007 model is INCREDIBLE. It is a great car with unbeatable warranty, great price and it is one of the safest mid-size SUVs out there. Check out this link for some safety info: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/summary.aspx?class=55
