EARTHY CAR OF THE WEEK: Blue 2008 Honda CR-V LX 4WD

2008 Honda CR-V LX 4WD Blue, Crossover SUV, 74258 mi, $15,900 http://ht.ly/34FBJ

According to a 'tweet' I saw today, the best selling SUV this November was the Honda CR-V. As it happens to be, we have two Honda CR-V's on our lot (both 2008's).
One is is blue, one is black. One is the LX trim, one is the EX trim. Both are 4WD.

I have named the blue LX trim as the Earthy Car of the Week - because it is priced $3000 less than the black EX one. (The blue LX does have a little bit more miles on it than the black EX one, plus the EX trim has more features.)

It is easy to see why the CR-V was last month's best selling SUV. Even though it packs a lot of power, it is relatively light for an SUV. With its light weight and size, the CR-V is one the most fuel efficient SUVs (20 city, 26 highway MPG rating). While smaller than most SUVs, there is enough space for a family of 3 kids plus a decent amount of cargo space. It doesn't hurt your family that the CR-V is one of the safest SUVs on the market. Or that your family will be well entertained, as its stereo has MP3 capacity.

With its 4 wheel drive, don't forget that the CR-V is also a great winter vehicle.
