CanadianDriver Fuel Economy ChallengePart Two - March 5 update: During February's sub-zero temperatures and snowy road conditions, our editors weren't able to achieve Energuide fuel economy numbers for the Mazda6 Sport and Honda CR-V, however using a fuel-efficient driving style did help improve fuel economy.

CR-V "The only omissions, unusual in our opinion for a car priced at almost $38,000, was the lack of a garage door opener and vanity mirrors that did not illuminate - not big issues, but things you would expect to see at this price level."
I do not have a garage so I could care less about the door opener, but I believe it does not have memory seating( does it have power seats) which I believe is a must at this price

EX-L CRV has power seats for '08...but, I don't believe they have a memory option.
