We picked the PT Cruiser. It is the wife's car. The deal came with a "We Owe" and that was an installed Remco pump. It tows real nice. We have the US Gear brake system.
I think you will find the variety of likes and dislikes the same as pizza.

Chevy Silverado 1500 FWD and Honda CR-V AWD. The Chevy is a little heavy and hard to park when you get there, so unless we're bringing a motorcycle in the back of it, we take the CR-V. It's AWD works great and it has good ground clearance.

Honda's CR-V is good. Lighter, roomier, and better mpg than Jeep's Liberty. AWD will get you through most highway gunk, but if you want to do serious off-roading you'll want the Jeep.

We love our Chevy HHR with automatic. Just put it in neutral and pull one fuse, I installed a rocker switch instead. Lots of room, around 3k pounds and 30+ MPG. I wouldn't know it was there without the backup camera.
