The Frugal Five: Compact Crossover Comparison




A Road Test article in this months MOTOR TREND Magazine


Here are the results:

1st Place Subaru Forester 2.5X Premium Exorcized of cramped rear legroom and graceless styling, the Subie's charm becomes hard to resist.

2nd Place Nissan Rogue SL The 'ute for the PlayStation generation. Fun and affordable-but bring a kidney belt.

3rd Place Honda CR-V EX Quality construction and a handsome interior don't trump a busy ride and soupy handling.

4th Place Saturn VUE Green LinePrice premium isn't erased by its tax credit and better mileage, but it's fun to poke OPEC in the eye, isn't it?

5th Place Toyota RAV4 College-entrance committees are looking for more than solid SATs these days. You need a compelling story, too.
