Comment on Honda debuts new global EV series, Honda Zero, coming in 2026
bluGill@kbin.social 1 year agoNo you don't. They look cool and get you thinking you want them. However if you ever had to live with them instead of just looking you would quickly discover some of those cool looking things make for very annoying compromises and so you wouldn't want them.

“hi, dealership, I’m looking for a car that looks like an oversized Amazon package and rides like I’m in a trashcan being kicked by a mule. You say you have plenty of jeeps available? Perfect.”

If people actually wanted that, Jeep wouldn’t keep making it more complicated and awkward to do with each new generation.

Neighbor got a jeep. I was shocked to learn it gets 17 miles per gallon. I get that it is an SUV, but there are SUVs with more utility that get better gas mileage.

I rented a jeep (Cherokee?) for the first time recently. Literally a worse driving experience than my old 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. Which was the worst ever, prior to the jeep.

'96-’01?
given your story, it sounds like you did your best to drive that thing into the ground (not judging). I’m glad you had fun with it, as that’s what they’re for, although, you probably would have gotten many more years out of it had you actually driven it like a car and on the street (also, regular maintenance). just sayin’.
given your follow-up, it was obviously not a long-term choice (is it for anyone?), and I’m glad you’ve found what works for you. I discovered that my vehicle of choice is the NYC Subway!
