opinions, please!!

opinions. you got 'em, i need 'em. (not to be confused with onions - which is what i typed at first.)

i'm trying to search for a new car (because, as we all know, big red is no longer with us) and, well, i need some help. i want something that won't kill me on gas...but i also want something that can tote around lots of people and stuff. (and let's face it...can you really see me in a sedan?)

so, blog-friends...cast your votes.*

do not go on colors, here...that will come later. this is simply for make & model.
do you drive one of these? do you know someone who does?
do you/they love it...or do you/they hate it and wish it was something else?

the contenders (in no particular order):

#1: Toyota Matrix


#2: Jeep Compass


#3: Nissan Murano


#4: Ford Escape Hybrid
(probably not in my price range...but a girl can dream.)



#5: the write-in ____________________


*i reserve the right to totally disregard all of your opinions if i so choose. :)

#5- TOYOTA CAMRY

But for realz, I'd vote for #4. I think I'd look good riding around in that passenger seat.

The word I have to type in to approve this comment is "merch". Weird. Does blogger know you work with musicians? Creepy.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited :-)

What do you need an SUV for? You hauling a bunch of stuff?

I just stumbled on your blog...

I own a Matrix (actually it's the same on in the picture) and I've had mine since 2003 when it first came out. She's my first and only car and I will probably cry when she dies.

Positives - Great on gas
- Has the flexibility of an SUV (big trunk and flip down seats)
- Small enough to park in tight spaces
- The seats are comfy for being fabric

Negatives - Outside noise is prominent. They've fixed this in the newer models, but my '03 is a big noisy driving on the highway
- Not a great car if the driver is very tall or very large (I'm small)

I've test driven the Escape and the Murano and both were nice; you might like them better because they are larger "truck-like" vehicles.
