Well unreliability is not something that I want either. Thats all I wanted,
information about the Jeep, although based on giving this some good thought
I am thinking more in the Civic and Accord areas. Accord will have good
comfort and Civic really good MPG. Still comfort such as what the Accord
offers is more important than the MPG since I am only averaging around
160-190 miles per week.

Basically what I am looking for is something which is roomy, comfortable,
safe and has decent performance. Snow ability and MPG are not the most
important, although good, the comfort and performance out weighs that. Plus
I tend to drive like a nut at times, drive fast and take corners fast and
stuff like that and I don't think the CRV would meet my handling and speed
requirements requirements!

If I had to choose one of the Accords it would probably be the 2008 ex 4cyl,
probably auto. My lease is up on my 2005 Accord ex in a few months, so I
will be making a desision soon.

Damn, those advertising agencies deserve a bonus!  They've done a
sterling job nurturing your insecurities!  If you're THAT worried about
driving a 'woman's car' (whatever the hell that means!) then you clearly
need a freaking Hummer.  Forget Honda altogether!

While performing a self inspection (in search of the 'set' you've been
urged to 'grow,') you might reach around and feel your back.  There
should be something hard and lumpy just under the surface.  Unless, of
course, those pesky aliens have sucked out your spine spine with that
'anal probe' thingy that gets so much press.

FWIW, I owned a late 80's Cherokee and it was a piece of junk.  Whenever
something broke and I had to replace/disassemble some bit of hardware,
I'd be AMAZED that the POS worked AT ALL.

Hello,

I like the CRV because it has what I am looking for in a car: versatility,
comfort, space, safety, comforts and 4WD. To date I am yet to see a guy
driving one (especially the new ones) anywhere! I don't really want to be
driving a car that is labeled as a womans car. When I went to the dealer I
talked to a salesman about my interest in the CRV. The first thing he asked
was if I had kids, when I said no, he seemed surprised that I would want the
CRV and tried to get me interested in the Pilots. Unfortunately I don't have
30-36k to spend on an suv.

Now I am thinking about the possibility of getting a Jeep Patriot or Jeep
Wrangler, just don't know what the reliability is like. I know those are
considered more men's cars than the CRV. Its not that this is a big issue,
but its a little odd that only women seem to drive them. Same with the RAV4
for that matter.

I'm looking to be in the 19-24k range in the next car so I thought either of
the Jeeps would be in this range and offer some kinds of comfort and 4WD
ability.

So does anyone know anything about the Jeeps from personal experience?

Thanks,
Al
