BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cars Favorite SUV

How much evidence does one need? Look at how stuffed our enviroment is!

Since I 'had' a very small car, I admit that large SUV's irritated me because of the size and my inability to see around them and that their headlights were always in my rear view mirror when they were behind me. - So were pick up trucks.

However, I'm renting a Pontiac Vibe right now and I really like it. It gets good mileage and is easy to drive. It isn't huge.

I'm looking around for small SUVs with a good safety rating. My husband was driving my sports car and was the victim of a teenage driver trying to commit suicide. (really) She drove into him at a rate of 110 mph. He was driving 65 and didn't even see her coming.

He is OK (just sore) but my beloved little car is totaled.

So, who has a favorite small SUV ?

SUVs intimidate me since I have a small car.

it's not the SUV that intimidates you, it's the human behind the wheel! as for all the negative comments, fine. drive your little mini cooper or whatever, but where are you going to put 4 dogs, a baby and the groceries? and what will you do in bad weather? i drive and love a jeep cherokee, but given my druthers i would be in a honda element....... safe, reliable, not too big but flexible inside for cargo or people, and surprising on gas. easy to park and drive. not going to win a beauty contest, tho!

So, I ended up getting a Chrysler Pacifica. I didn't have my choice of alot of cars. I like the Pacifica. It is a cross between an SUV and a mini van. (I'm determined to never drive a mini van! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) It drives very smoothly, has lots of bells and whistles, is more comfortable than the Jeeps I drove and is not bad on gas. It also will seat 6 or seven -if one is small- comfortably.

SUVs should be outlawed.

I am absolutely dying to get the 2007 Range Rover, it's amazing! Maybe one day...
