My theory is 20 somethings hate Subaru because the logo looks like something from Star Trek

Also the interiors kinda suck (quality and options-wise) and while they get great gas mileage and can drive through most anything, they aren't fun at all to drive. At least, not the fully loaded 2014 Forester we test drove. The Jeep interior blew it completely out of the water and it's much more fun to drive, for what ended up being the same price after discounts on the Jeep.
spiffy I think you can get an Forester XT with a nicer interior than the base model for only ~$1500 more, disc would know more
No Bluetooth?
Bought my college aged daughter a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback. I've been very impressed. Lot's of good features on entry level models; quiet ride; great mileage; all her stuff fits in it. It had 12,600 miles and we snagged it for less than 13k.
Without hijacking, SBTtoy and I are looking at upgrading to an SUV pretty soon, and among the things we're wanting to do with the SUV is drive it on the OBX beaches. Her brother has a Land Rover LR3 and her dad has a Jeep CJ5, which are obviously top notch for off-road. Without going too crazy (Land Rover) or too niche (Wrangler), what are good SUVs for this purpose?
Looking mainly at the Grand Cherokee, primarily because of the adjustable lift suspension, but I don't know if there any other SUVs that have that feature, or if that feature is entirely unnecessary.
The "automatic" shifting 4 wheel drive systems are not ideal for driving on sand. You can do it but take a tow strap and shovel with you (good advice anyway). Real 4wd high and low settings are best and clearance and tire pressure is key. I've pulled many Honda CRVs or Toyota RAVs out of the sand over the years. People freak out but those things are so light you can practically push them out of the sand after putting some boards in front of the wheels.
Yeah, we're wanting a full-size SUV, nothing like a Subaru, CRV or RAV4. Tailgating, skiing, beaching, hauling, towing, and an eventual family car is what we're trying to get now.
