My friend brought a Jeep second hand which was $10,000 which is lot more less when compared to our Honda Civic that costed us around $15,000. How many believe that Jeep is better over Civic?? I myself don't believe that, how about you??

I've only heard one Jeep owner speaking about her vehicle. She loved driving it, but she did say that it was cold in the winter.

I wonder if there's a little better visibility in traffic in a Jeep because you're sitting higher?

Is it hard to drive over?? Cold in winter and visibility problem, seems like it is difficult. One person whom I know and drives a Jeep is hardly 5 feet in height, I wonder how he goes on with it.

I have always wanted a Jeep but have just never had a chance to own one. I have heard that they are cold and noisy when you drive them in the winter.

I was wondering if the Jeep actually had better visibility because you may be sitting higher than other cars.

I'm sure you'd be higher in a Jeep than in my 89 Civic that's so low to the ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

It seems as if I am driving a huge vehicle sitting at such an height. Never did I drive at such a height. I only drove cars but never tried any other bigger looking vehicles like jeep or crv etc....

Once my wife had a courtesy vehicle that was some kind of van, and she discovered that she liked being higher because of the better view she had in traffic.

That affected her next car purchase, because she then considered a higher vehicle.

I to like the fact that you are higher up but I don't like the gas mileage you get on some of the cars that you buy where you can sit higher up.

That's really something to consider. Sounds a little funny but I am sure that is the case. Our family friend has this Jeep and recently got married and brought his wife from India. Once she landed up here, she learnt driving Jeep and she is scared to drive my Honda as she felt she can't view anything. She is comfortable only with vehicles that are high giving a wide view around.
