Honda CR-V
Fresh from a major update in 2011, the remarkably well balanced CR-V thankfully remains unchanged for 2013. The 2.4l four-cylinder engine and fivespeed automatic combination is both economical and reliable and the entry point front-wheel drive LX, priced at $25,990, even includes a hands-free Bluetooth interface. The excellent all-wheel drive system with intelligent control starts at $28,140 in the LX version.
