Thread: What is a good suv for a a first car?

I am getting my first car pretty soon and I know I want an suv because I feel much safer in them. I don't know what I exactly want yet and I want to know what is good and safe for a new driver and first car.

There is Plenty to choose from but i will give you 10 off the top of my head
1. 96-00 GMC Jimmy
2. 93 -98 Jeep Grand Cherokee
3.98-2003 Dodge Durango
4.97-2004 Nissan Pathfinder
5.95-2000 Toyota Rav4
6.96-2001 Honda CRV
7.89-2004 Land Rover Discovery
8.02-05 Saturn Vue
9.94-01 Ford Explorer
10.93-99 Chevy Suburban
all of these trucks should not be very expensive at all. The Japanese Ones will Probably run the best because....well there from Japan and Japan Makes the best cars out ther

I like my SUV's mostly because i can see over the vehicle in front of me, unless it's another SUV.

I have a Suburban, which is very big, and a Wrangler, which is very small. I like them both but for different things. The Wrangler probably better for a first car the Suburban can be hard to park. My brother SWEARS by his Toyota Land Cruiser.

SUV's are more susceptible to rollover if you swerve suddenly. And gas mileage can be a drawback.

A pickup might be a good choice for you.

I'd have to say a Ford Explorer. Not too big, not too small, and are very roomy. I had a '91 4x4 and loved it.

I have a 1996 Honda passport. It's sturdy and gets me from point a to b in a flash. If you want the best out of your money, buy foreign!
