It’s a little more than I’d like to spend, but you’re right. It would solve a lot of problems.

You’re probably both a more confidant driver than I am and someone who doesn’t care how much space you’re taking up. We’re different people.

I like it. I’ll take a look.

I absolutely love the Juke on the outside and not so much on the inside. Also there was just no inventory at the dealership I went to, and when I asked the very disinterested salesperson if I could see a top level one - newer, high end trim, he said in no uncertain terms that they only had a few because they aren’t…

You’re in good company on the Encore. Lots of folks are dissuading me from that one. I’ll take a look at the Sportage, and I so appreciate the endorsement of the Tucson. It makes me feel better about considering it so strongly.

I’m really happy too. It’s been lovely. I have had to dismiss a few comments that were top level assholery, but where there are people there are jerks. That is, of course, also true of Jezebel, which has it’s share. I’ll keep your observations in mind, but consider too that if a Jalopnik person were to come to Jezebel…

I am pretty brave. :) I noticed when reading the buyer’s guides that a lot of people around here like to hate on CUVs, but I thought there must also be sensible opinions on the vehicles to be had, perhaps especially for someone who is, most definitely, an outsider. I still need a car though. What I actually wanted was…

I’ll definitely take a look at one. I’m worried it will be a little low to the ground for me, but I’d have to sit in it to know. Thanks!

That’s really helpful, thank you so much. What color did you choose?

I’ll take a look at it!

I do mean the interior. It all felt very cheap and plastic. The Encore was a step up from that, though the center console’s many, many buttons brought the interior down a bit.

That’s really interesting and a compelling idea. Can you say any more about why you feel that way about entry level vehicles? I’d love to know more.

I guess it might not be totally fair, but I just don’t feel like I’m a Subaru consumer. As I said in a different post, it feels to sporty to me. Like I sat in it and I thought, “This is a great car for someone who hikes and wears those puffy vests.” I like to go to the popcorn stadium and I’d look ridiculous in a…

Thank you so much for your thoughts! You’re right about the price point. I set out with 30-35 in mind, but the Audi with all the bells and whistles I’d like are somewhere near 39 msrp and I don’t have a problem with that. Having said that, if there’s a vehicle I’d like and I could keep 10k, that’s obviously great. I…

Hi car people! I’m a jezebel person, and I’ve been popping in to read the buying guides for basically every small SUV and crossover. I’d some some kind and helpful opinions, if you have them.

I bought my boyfriend flowers at a trendy little flower shop in LA a few months ago and the lady who helped me put a bunch of cabbage in the arrangement. I asked her to take it out, saying “I don’t really like those. They look like cabbage.” She was very unimpressed. “That’s what they are.” It felt weird to be made to…

But even then, they haven't ruined everything. They've made their lunch unpalatable to this salad council. And who gives a fuck?

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS TREND!

It’s okay to still love 2002. It is. Isn’t it?

Oh man! And they figured out how to stop those of us who hacked the Kardashian Hollywood game from getting updates this weekend. What a rough couple days.
