Jeep is the quintessential American car. The fact that a Jeep is now available that get this kind of impressive mileage, carries the traditional Jeep styling and has off road capability makes me love driving this Jeep summer and winter. see full Jeep Patriot review |

This is my 3rd Toyota/Lexus. What else can I say, they are great cars/appliances. Although not a styling icon, Toyota/Lexus knows how to build what most people want/need in a reliable good quality vehicle. see full Toyota Highlander review |
