Eh, I'm not keen on the CR-V as a 4x4. The first gen CR-V will last a long time, but Hondas even to this day don't make useful AWD systems as they're easily defeated due to its insistence on FWD bias. If you get a CR-V get it in FWD as the AWD version is pointless.

Toyota RAV4 is a good choice if its an older model. Particularly a 1st gen RAV which has a full time AWD system, very much a compact light off roader. 2nd gen RAV4 is a big bigger but the AWD system is still pretty good. A Subaru Forester with the SOHC 2.5L is also a worthy choice, but sure to skip the DOHC version due to it suffering worse BHG problems than the SOHC. The XT version has the WRX's 2.0L turbo.
