Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I had a GMC Terrain loaner a couple of years ago--it was fun, and very nice inside. Had quite a bit of room for being little, but not something I'd want to deal with all the time. I can haul a half ton of feed in the back of my Tahoe...and still have room for a couple of kids and a trip to Sam's. Haha |

Ha! That brings back memories...my mom bought a Buick Enclave in 2010 and that thing does it all. Feed mill, Petsmart, GFS, and Sam's, all in one day. LOL  |

Location: California | I'm coming up on my second year with my Ford Edge and gosh I love it so much still. It doesn't get the greatest gas mileage (I used to have a Nissan Altima) but my commute to work is only 15 miles so I don't worry about it. I love the huge sun roof and the heated seats as well as how easy it is to fold the back down and fill it with shavings or grain. Once you fidure out what size vehicle you want I suggest driving all the different ones in that size. It's amazing how different they all are. |

Location: Washington | Have an '07 Jeep Patriot. LOVE it. SUV without SUV size. Our is the strip down, 2 wheel drive, nothing is electric, manual transmission. Been a great car, only maintenance has been the normal wear and tear. I get close to 30 MPG.
I loved the back with the kids, great diaper changing station, place to change muddy clothes AND most importantly is can hold six compressed bales of hay! The bottom of the back has a removable plastic liner for easy cleaning! |

| I drove a new Honda CR-V the other day..I kind of fell in love.
I struggle to get comfortable in a car and this thing felt waaaay closer to our big trucks than a car, but still gets 33mpg highway.
I want to try some of the other smaller SUV's but we have always been pretty partial to Honda's as a family, and a lot of my older family members have worked in various aspects of the auto industry. |

Location: Jersey Girl | My daily driver is a 2009 Chevy HHR.
It has room for all my crap, is really peppy for a 4 cylinder and good gas mileage. It has almost 160k on it and still runs good. I am not looking forward to when I have to get a new car. I really like the HHR's. |

Location: So Cal | I drive a 2013 Camry. My last car was a 98 Camry that I took to 240k miles before selling it (still ran great!). They are great, reliable vehicles, and for a sedan, they really have a good amount of room (I can fit a lot of pellets/shavings in my trunk! ;) ) I think the newer models are nice-looking.
My mom has a Toyota Rav4 which is the Crossover. They have a lot of room! The Chevy Equinox seems nice too. |

my daily driver is a 2010 dodge challenger. love the gas mileage.
The only CAR in the Dodge family that I would buy. I love how spacious this thing is and the gas mileage isn't horrible considering it's a sports car. Huge trunk and backseat for passengers. And rides so smooth.

Location: Where the stars at night are big and bright, TX | I really really want a Buick Enclave.
We were just in San Diego over Spring Break and felt like I spent a lifetime up and down the I-5 that week. I was paying attention to the makes people were driving and I swear most of the cars on the road were Kia's.

| I only have a 4 mile commute to work, and I don't want to drive my dually for that business so I bought a BRAND NEW, Nissan Versa. 5 speed, cloth seats, no cruise control. It has AC and blue tooth. Thats about it. But it gets 45 MPG.... and the best part, I paid 9,000 CASH OUT THE DOOR for a brand new car!!!!! Its perfect... I think I could get a couple bags of feed in there if I wanted to... I only get gas once a month, sometimes 6 weeks and it takes 15.00 to fill it. |

I just sold my 2010 Corolla that I purchased new. That was seriously the best car. I had no issues whatsoever with it. It had 76,000 miles on it. I have a friend who has a corolla also and he is pushing 300k with his. They are awesome cars! It was hard for me to sell it but I was approached with a deal (within the family) that I couldnt pass up. I know Toyota's are foreign but they make a good vehicle. My dad has driven nothing but their trucks for the past 15 years. He had 2 Tacoma's and 3 Tundras. They have been great trucks also. |
