2007 Honda Fit Sport, we bought it new with 108 miles on it in cash. About 78000 miles on it right now, had one sensor go out and that has been the only repair that we've had to do so far. It's been a great car for us and we're actually looking at getting a second one if we can't find a good, cheap small truck for me.

Feel the power of middle aged suburbia!

Go on feel it, I'll wait...
 
They offroad better than they onroad. They are a no-frill SUV. Don't expect heated seats or lumbar support or a soft squishy suspension. You'll feel every bump and twist and turn and that's the point :) I would hesitate to take a brand new Wrangler offroad just because I'm a little cheap and would hate to see a nice vehicle get destroyed, but they're very capable. It's fun just to drive down old logging roads around home without requiring a big ass truck.

Hey Adam happened to wander back through this thread and yes you can get heated seats! http://www.quadratec.com/products/14159_101.htm Figured you might want to know about those for any cold mornings. Now get out on the trails! I'm off to look for a Jeep now.
 
My vehicle is a 2006 Hyundai Tucson. I bought it new and paid cash. Only have 35k miles on it after all this time.
We also have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. My husband usually drives that one. Also bought it new and paid it off last year with our tax return. WooHoo!

I've been thinking about getting a new (or new to me), smaller vehicle for myself once our daughter is in a booster seat rather than a full carseat.
 
98 Chrysler Sebring. Just about 145,000 miles on it, and I bought it when I turned 18. It's literally falling apart at this point, but it's still getting me to work and my girlfriend's house, so it's doing it's job. I can say this though, I will never buy a Chrysler again.

Here's a recent picture of it.

Mine's still a '98 Nissan Almera. 89K km on it. My firlfriend has an '07 Skoda Fabia Combi (station wagon version of a small car). I hardly drive my car these days - to and from work, 15 kilometers each way. Not worth having a car for, but we can't do both our jobs with just one car. Blagh public transport.
 
Hell, Neon Pirate ... Haven't seen you in a while.
Sorry Ranger, I was cloaked! Well...that and working both jobs and on a soccer field and band and Job's Daughters and all kinds of my kids' other activities. How's life in the sauna?

Don't do it! Keep the low-mileage SUV! You will hate getting your daughter into a small car. We had a Camry when the twins were little. You could tell I was putting them into the car when on one side you heard thump-ow-shit followed by a matching thump-ow-shit on the other side of the car. I had a Camry-dent in my forehead for a couple of years. Stick with the vehicle you can put a child comfortably into!
 
Do NOT get a Jeep. You might be able to walk away from an accident, but there's no guarantee your vehicle will be sunny-side up when you do so. I know this for a fact; had a guy in a Jeep and run a stop sign on me. I hit his front wheel and he went rolling over into a farmer's field.

Oh come on, Sebrings aren't that baaaa.... ha ha ha haaaaa I tried to type that with a straight face and couldn't.

If it wasn't that my dad gave us his Sebring Convertible, I sure as heck wouldn't be driving it.

Of course, that's why it's my wife's car. ;)
