The CR-V has the most power and second best fuel economy, why is this even a question? Go for the Honda. The Mitsubishi is kind of ugly, the Hyundai is really ugly, and the Mazda is for butch soccer moms.

I like the Mitsubishi best because it's the only one I would want to get seen in
The Mazda or the Hyundai. The Hyundai is good value for what you get, decent power too. The Mazda is just a cool car, plus the interior looks like a BMW. Mazda [t]http://puu.sh/ooDJ[/t] Really though, get her to test drive and see what she likes. Random opinions from the internet really aren't worth much. The CRV isn't really even competitive. Outdated tech and stuff.
How is the CRV not competitive? It beats your silly hyundai in mileage and horsepower, and the Mazda in horsepower but only slightly worse in mileage. You're probably only saying NO HONDA LOL to piss me off (It's generally your quest here in AA -- to jar a reaction out of people for laughs), but really, you need to look at it from a "how useful is this going to be?" standpoint and not a [del]"I want to suck Chung Mong Koo's dick"[/del] "what is new and coolest" one. Seriously though, I know you're a Hyundai fanboy, but it's the third best, or possibly the WORST choice. It's second to the CRV in horsepower, but it gets the WORST mixed driving mileage of all four, at 24.5, behind the Outlander at 25.5, the CRV at 26, and the Mazda leading the pack at 28. To be honest the Mazda is a great machine, if she's wanting something based on mileage and usefulness alone, the Mazda is the way to go. I don't really know your sister but I'm certain she would love it, Mazda design definitely gives off the "girl" vibe, and it's probably decently comfortable. The CRV is the most durable of the four though. If she wants something to get her from A to B with almost the best mileage and a proven drivetrain that will last her at least half a lifetime, the CRV is the way to go. Honda's reliability is [i]incredible[/i]. I wouldn't even consider the Hyundai or the Mitsubishi, which is hard for me to say being a Mitsubishi guy, but I can't deny [i]fact[/i] that the Mazda and Honda exceed these two in mileage, durability, and performance.
Well I guess I should mention her first car was a 2002 Mazda protege5. Had it for a few years and needed 4x4. So she bought a liberty without even seeing one. Bought it over the phone. Now she picked out the outlander sport. I picked the Mazda. Her soon to be husband picked the honda. She is ok with the three I just threw in the Tucson cause I know it is the best bang for the buck. She is 22 with no kids but hates coupes and sedans. We are about to leave to look at a few. I am gonna make her drive them all. I think that the outlander sport comes with heated seats and hids in this price range the test don't.

And unless she were to get the top spec EX-L, it'd have less features too. Compared to both. But compared to the Liberty, they're all awesome.

Also JDM tyte VTAK.
True, but it doesn't sound like she'd be super tough on it. Probably want AWD/4x4 for some leaves and puddles on the road or something.

Cr-v and tuscon are out. She hated them sat in the Cx-5 and outlander sport. Mazda was nicer but the sport had nicer features for 26k. 700 watt system hid lights heated seats had lock for 4wd. Here in the mountains of wv we get a lot of snow. So no puddle jumper. My Camry running snow tires running snow tires could not get to where she lived. Went and got my Tacoma and climed it no problem. The crv dived too much. Too much damage for that jump.
THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING DO YOU SEE IT ITS ALIVE ITS ALIVE IT SURVIVED MOTHERFUCKER
CX5 is miles better than the Outlander, although the CX5 is new and the Outlander is heavily rebated, so that may play a factor. Also, I'm pretty sure you guys can get away with the FWD version, it has higher ground clearance than your Camry does, but I can't say for sure since I live in SoCal where it never snows. Basically, go for the CX5 unless the Outlander is monstrously rebated.
If the Honda is out, definitely go Mazda. And yeah, the CRV in all of Conker's pics has never had any structural damage or anything more than a simple fix through all of the shit they do to it. His friend abuses the fuck out of that thing and to my knowledge it's still in pretty good shape. It's not the CURRENT model, but that generation and the current generation share the same platform, unlike the EK Civic based first generation.
I say go for the Mazda, it's pretty good quality and the engine is superb. It'll handle the miles well and won't kill you for maintenance.

ITS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO SELL
[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;35488454]ITS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO SELL[/QUOTE] 800 a month for payment and insurance 4800 miles in a year. been pulled over twice. once for 5 over, i was coasting out of gear down a hill. once for pulling out in second and running it up to the redline at 63ish mph in a 65 zone. he siad i accelerated too fast. the 3.73s take some of the fun out of driving it around town.
theres no law against acceleration?
[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;35489708]theres no law against acceleration?[/QUOTE] thats what i thought too. but if there is traffic they can give u a wreckless ticket. i was behind a dump truck pulling on to a 4 lane divided highway. no one else and he went to the right lane i went to the left and opened it up. he was in the traffic sitting at that red light. he pulled me over i just kinda looked at him like he was an idiot. and he let me go. he pulled out in his v6 charger and i out accelerated him to 65mph( pulled a couple car lenghts) and he want flying by. i kinda think he thought i was gonna hit another gear and keep on going but when i didnt he made him mad.
