Kia Sportage

If you want a REAL 4X4..a Landcruiser or a Defender. Unbreakable (well, the guys on the mine sites here can't )

I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and I love it. I can get a lot of stuff in it with the seats down, it has great 4x4, and it's really fun to drive. The gas mileage is not good (especially now that's gas is skyrocketing) and it drives like a truck - not the smooth car-like ride others offer. I had most of your vehicles on my list as well and I ended up with the Jeep because of a great deal. I also liked the Honda CR-V and I know several people who've had great luck with newer Kias.

Thanks everyone. Since I have a Jeep I'm probably going to get the best deal with another Jeep(Liberty). Just got a Kia Sportage in the mail today. I've got about 3 months before my lease is up. I'm going to start actively looking the end of March - its takes me awhile because I research things to death.
