Reply #69: I have a 4 cylinder Honda CR-V [View All]

[Digit]

It is what they call a mini-suv and perfect for me. Being 4'11" tall, I can't see over traffic in a "normal car" and have had many near misses when driving other vehicles.

My job is 6 miles away, so luckily, I don't have to use much gas.

I also own a rental home, so there are times I have to haul a ladder, paint cans and other items to do maintenance on my property.

Back in 2005 when I was looking for a new car to replace my old Honda, most of them scraped the dip leading into my driveway. If they scrape MY dip (gutter, or whatever), they would do it also into many businesses. To me, that is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

My old Honda Accord didn't do it, but the new ones have a grill that is much lower...same with the Honda Civic.

The insurance on my CR-V is also surprisingly low, I don't know why.

Whatever I get next, I just need to be able to fit a ladder, so when it comes time for painting my rental, I can do what is necessary.
