Hi All,
I am very curious as to what experienced people think about the 08 jeeps, Liberty, compass, etc. I have gone on edmunds.com and they have been somewhat helpful with reviews by the way of which seem mostly bad ones. We are considering Jeep, Hundai Tucson or Santa Fe, or the Kia Sportage all of which must be 4 wheel drive. Also we have a cap on price. No more than $15.000 over a 6 year period. Any help would be appreciated very much. We cant get an SUV any older than an 06. Thank you soooo much in advance.
 
I bought a Compass last year and I love it. No problems at all. I have an hour commute everyday and have put alot of miles on it in the last year, and it has run perfectly. Worth the extra for 4x4 in the winter! We also take it camping and if you put the seats down there is lots of room for gear.
 
If I were you, I would go for a Jeep Wrangler HARDTOP, you'll have about the same room as those other vehicles, it sits higher off the ground reducing the chance of "high-centering" your vehicle and you know it can handle about anything you have the guts to point it at, and that's EVEN if you can't afford a Rubicon.

The new Jeeps come with stuff my little '54 HiHood never came with. The new ones are SAFER. They come with airbags, and restraints, collapsible front ends that absorb the impact, collapsible steering columns that won't impale you on impact over 30 mph. Modern Jeeps are better, safer and more reliable. Go for it, the worse thing is the plastic cracks and rattles as they age.
