Do a list of your wants and needs in a vehicle. Then add your nice-to-haves as a separate list. Then list the pros and cons of each vehicle. Then go drive both.

In the end, you should be able to come up with what you think is best for your situation. Both are new, so you'll have some difficulty getting a great price on either - especially with the car-buying season into full swing. Good luck.

[woohoo!]

the RAV4 gets much better mileage than the Grand Vitara, but it doesn't offer a manual transmission.

RAV4 2.4L (city/hwy): 10.1/7.7
RAV4 V6: 11.1/7.8
Grand Vitara manual: 13.0 / 9.5
Grand Vitara automatic: 12.4 / 9.3
