Saying reliability was an issue with Hyundai was correct.......when the Pony was introduced.

Hyundais are light years ahead of where they were a decade ago. But in terms of resale value, they still get absolutely slaughtered compared to the CR-V or the Rav4.
When it comes to the latter two, it basically comes down to personal preference; they're going to provide more or less the same performance when it comes to mileage and utility, both are exceedingly reliable, and they're the most popular vehicles in an extremely competitive segment for a reason.
If you're going the new route, the Rav was redesigned from the ground up in February; new engine, 6-speed transmission, body, interior, everything. The Honda hasn't had a change to its transmission since I believe 2007.
Again, you can't go wrong with either, but I'd always recommend the Japanese brands over Korean.
