Default Toyota Rav4 v Hyundai Tuscon

Thinking of buying a SUV and I'm torn between the Rav4 and Tucson, they both look very similar styling wise and the performaces are near identical, obviously Toyota has the edge on reliability but the Hyundai has a 5 year warranty, also the Rav4's start at around 20 grand whereas the Tucson start at 14 and top of the range is only 20 grand. My preference would be for a 2 litre Diesil engine with full leather interiors.
Has anyone had any good/bad experiences they'd like to share?

Leather interiors are nice. But they aren't going to patch up the fact
that the Hundy is built by a Korean bucket shop.

The Hundy has noisy engines, fidgety ride, it bounces over bumps and
suffers from wind noise. Also it's built down to a price. The diseasel
is particularly rough.

The RAV4 is better all round, but it has a small boot which seems stupid
for an SUV. It's also got horrible steering (too light) but then so does
the Hyundai.
