Help with trying to decide on an SUV

It sounds like you are a car person. Subaru makes great AWD cars so you
probably can't go wrong with a Forester. You might also want to take a look
at the Jeep Liberty, it's about as car-like as Jeep currently makes but it
handles nicely, gets about 20 mpg, and is much roomier inside than it looks
from the outside, the price isn't bad either. It seems as though you want
fulltime 4WD, the Jeep Liberty has that option but you'll want to make sure
it has it if you decide on one.
