Every day I see more compact SUVs such as the Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade. What do you think of these vehicles, and are there any that have piqued your interest? My wife babysits for our two grandkids and thinks a small SUV may be better than her Chevrolet Cobalt. I think it may be too big? What do you think?
A: My wife also babysits and uses my SUV rather than her car for babysitting duty. These smaller SUV/crossovers have the appeal of versatile cargo space, better visibility due to the taller stance, and ease of getting in and out. The Jeep Renegade and the Honda HR-V are both good choices with my nod going to the Honda for better use of interior space.
