So you’re trying to figure out which compact SUV works best few you?
WhyBuyUsedCars.com has some excellent suggestions. Per the site:
The SUV market is hot again. Especially within the affordable compact SUV market; supply is high, demand is relatively low and theMazda Hakaze prices are well below their previous high levels.
Bottom line? Great bargains on trucks such as a used Jeep Liberty.
Criteria and a listing of the site editors’ ten top picks can be found here. Our take? We’re drivers, through and through. Thus, we’re disappointed Mazda didn’t make the grade. (And no; the concept car doesn’t count.)






First Choice: Toyota RAV4 – Most power for its class (with V6).
Second Choice: Ford Escape – Available V6 power, available Hybrid, Sync. Most choices in configuration/powertrains.
Third Choice: Honda CR-V – Strange styling, 4-cylinder only.
