As I've posted before in this thread and others, I'm a Honda fan as it serves our purpose just fine.
I would still consider a Jeep even though my experience with both of my new Jeep Grand Cherokee's (at the time) were troublesome. My '96 had to be towed into the shop 3 times in a three years period, I drove that vehicle until 36,000 miles and traded for a '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Quardr-trac which I also drove about 36,000 miles in a 3 yr. period.
The '99 Jeep's 4x4 system had to be rebuilt twice. The Dana rear-end roared all the time. It also had to be towed under warranty as the crank shaft sensor malfunctioned. So, my experience with Jeeps was not stellar.
But, since Honda's are not towable for a future choice, I'm hoping Jeeps have gotten better than when I owned them. I think the Cherokee is a good size. The Wrangler would be too rough riding from what I've read about them and I want easy ingress/egress (I'm almost old).
