I am looking at buying a new car and have narrowed it down to a Jeep or a Rav4. Which way should I go?

Depends on what you plan on using the car for.
If it's going to be used off road then I'd want the 4.0L Jeep over the Rav4, which has a poxy 2.4L with not much torque.
If it's not going off road then I'd want the Rav4, as the Wrangler has a thirst around town that David Boon would be proud of.
That being said, if I was buying a car that wouldn't see any action off road I wouldn't buy a 4WD or pseudo-4WD.

I will be using it off road occasionally but in the city more. I am leaning towards a Jeep at this stage.

They're both pretty gay.
If you are genuinely using it for off roading, but only occasionally, I'd go the Nissan X-Trail or even a Subaru.

Out of the RAV4 and Jeep (it is the Wrangler isn't it?), I'd got with the RAV. It's a safer buy; more reliable and I think more value for money. Jeeps are more antiquated.
Seriously though I'd go have a look at the Ford Escape/ Mazda Tribute (basically the same car) and the Nissan X-Trail. I don't think they're selling many of the Fords or Mazdas at the moment so you should be able to get a good deal. (They tend to fly under the radar)
You could also check out the used market: Ford Territories and Prados.
