who owned a jeep? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Interesting to see so many Jeep owners.

Up 'till now I've used a '92 Cherokee Laredo to get me 6 miles up and down the mountain we live on to a train station to commute into NYC (which is how the term 'station wagon' originated in these parts BTW). Recently I took on a new job that will require a daily 80 mile RT auto trip, so I bought myself a Yaris LB... the Jeep is too old and fuel hungry for that sort of daily commuting.

We're gonna hang onto the Jeep- we learned long ago that there's really no way to reliably do the climb to our home in a front wheel drive vehicle on a snowy/icy day without chains. The Jeep has never had a problem getting me home no matter what the conditions. Our local roads are also subject to downed trees and landslides during storms. Any hint of incoming bad weather this winter I'll be switching to the Jeep. Our other vehicle is a Subaru.

I love both the Yaris and the Jeep.
