I've been told a couple different things so I thought I'd ask here since many of you own more than just the CL - I need something that will be reliable and doesn't ride too badly - I got a puppy and when she gets bigger she won't fit in the CL so I'm looking around at used SUV's - So what do you guys think would be the best one to go with?

Close..... ......Black Lab - It's a tight squeeze getting in the back seat of those '97's, our Golden was afraid of it

We have a '95 Kia Sportage EX 4X4 that has been VERY reliable beleive it or not.

My wife drives most of the time and has only put ~35K miles on it (got it at ~70K miles) in the past 4.5 years. When I get her a new car next year (03 TL-S) I will also trade the sportage in for a lower milage one that I can use for utility purposes. You can easily get a nice for under $8K. Whith the exra $2g you can put some nice wheels and tires on it and still have a grip left over.

Keep in mind the have a great warranty too.

I think you can get a brand new kia for under 10 grand.

I would go with a jeep.

check with Consumer Report. They have a list of used reliable vehicles with different price range.
