Yeah, that does suck. I feel like that happens a lot with those types of cars. My step-mom has a Mercedes C-Class and it is an awesome car, but it constantly has something broken. She has had it for a year and it has been at the dealership at least 5 times, each with something major wrong with it. If the car isn't a DD, I think the pros would outweigh the cons as far as the problems go, but as a DD, I really don't want to have to worry about dealing with constant repairs. It just isn't worth it imo

I was debating about an Unlimited, however my wife has only saw women driving them, so she didn't think it was a good idea. (LOL!) Just thought it would be a testosterone builder until she said that.
My second choice, I am leaning towards a Cruze... but I would have to test drive one first.
For me, presently my DD is a V6 2010 Malibu, I don't have a 100lb dog (More like a 70lb Golden Retriever) but it has been fantastic on long runs (Avg. 30mpg highway) good ride, decent stereo and not a lick of issues in the snow. (Note, I live in Northern Ohio). 53k and going strong...

It's funny you say the testosterone thing, because I was talking to my sister about how I wanted a wrangler and her response was "You're gonna look like a man driving that!" So my sister and your wife have opposite opinions, but since I'm a girl, I would rather want to agree with your wife over my sister
I actually really like the Malibu! and that's good to know it has worked out well for you!

I agree! Though I'm not a huge fan of the cruze, it is way better than a Jetta. My dad has a Jetta and I hate driving it
