Buying a New Car....


I have decided to get a new car since mine is once again broke down (Yeah I have had TONS of problems with it).... So I would like some opinion on what you guys think are "good quality" cars... I know alot of this is personal prefrence but it would be nice to have some feed back about different ones... I am looking in to the compact SUV area... But any feed back even just on brands which do you prefer??? Thanks!!

I own a Avalanche , might be larger than you are looking for but works so well for our family. It is nice having the size of a SUV with the funtionality of a truck.

I test drove a YJ cruiser a few months back and as nice as well but a bit pricey with it being the first year out.

Really depends on if you are going to buy new or used. My Wife is a Finance manager for a Chevy dealer. We could help you with the questsions you have.

What price range are you looking to be in ?

I like Nissans, they are very reliable and rarely break down... down side is they are expensive to repair when they do.
