6. Other Choices (See why?)   The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan competes in a very crowded class of vehicles. Small crossovers like the Honda CR-V are perennial best-sellers because of their smooth rides, reputation for reliability, and flexible interiors. The CR-V, like the Tiguan, is only available in four-cylinder trim. Toyota's RAV4 has grown, though, and now offers a V-6 option as well as a third-row seat. Saturn's Vue was brand-new for 2008, and it's smaller than the CR-V and RAV4, with no third-row seat, but it can be ordered with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain or a powerful V-6 engine.
