Jeep or CRV - the search for a toad continues
Narrowing down the search for a new toad that we can tow 4 down. DW's current Civic requires a dolly and it's a pain. So we drove the CRV and frankly she's not crazy about it. It's a great toad based ...

Jeeps are really cool for sure, but I am wondering about the fit and finish, reliability, comfort and what you actually get for the money – especially as a daily driver. The CRV seems to have all that at a lower price point and lower weight. Jeeps are downright expensive for what you get. I think you pay for the “jeep thing” but sacrifice a lot of tangibles. Not that it’s a bad toad, I am sure it’s great, versatile etc. If I could swing it, I would get her both; a nice car and a jeep for a toad specific. But since I need one vehicle that can do both I am wondering if the Jeep is a wise choice. The CRV seems to be a clear winner for our needs, but DW is not sold on it. We go back and look at it again next week. I will say I can get a MUCH better deal on a CRV. Jeeps are expensive and the Honda will be traded at the same place we bought it. And at that dealership is not one but 3 friends that I went to school and played soccer with – 2 salesmen and the finance manager (lil’ small town who ya know). I know I am getting the best deal I can with the Honda. And we have been very happy with the reliability of the Honda and the dealership as a whole. I don’t know anything about Jeeps or the dealerships that sell them. This all may be moot. At the end of the day we get what DW wants.
