1st Place: 2006 Chevrolet HHR
Combined EPA Fuel Economy: 25
Powertrain: 2.2 liter, 4 cyl., 4-AT

1st Place: 2006 Honda CR-V
Combined EPA Fuel Economy: 25
Powertrain: 2.4 liter, 4 cyl., 5-AT

Why the EPA thinks that the 2006 Chevrolet HHR, which is basically a Chevy Cobalt station wagon, is a sport/utility vehicle is a mystery, but since our choice in the category, the 2006 Honda CR-V, is a jacked-up Civic with a big box hanging off the back, who are we to judge? We give the nod to the CR-V for its larger size, greater space, and more powerful engine. Plus, the darn things have proven to be nearly bulletproof in terms of reliability.
