Used to be a Jeep gal, NEVER going back
I have driven Jeeps for the majority of the last 20+ years. In 2014 I bought a new Jeep Patriot. I had been driving a 1996 Cherokee - had nearly 300,000 miles and it was slowly dying... so I figured, I'd stay with a brand I could trust. After I signed the paperwork, the dealer said in passing "you know that the Patriot won't last as long as your Cherokee".... oh my! Within months, I started having issues (wheel bearings going bad -REPEATEDLY.... and no, I did not take it off road). It was uncomfortable - the sight lines were awkward when turning - so last August, after being trapped in the Patriot on an extended/uncomfortable trip... I decided to look at the Hyundai brand. I am SO glad I did! Granted... my Tucson isn't quite a year old, and has just a tad beyond 12,000 miles.... but it is SO easy to drive... VERY comfortable... and I strongly feel I've gotten the value for my hard earned money!
