I need to get a new car to replace my old wagon (1994 Saturn) soon and looking for a reliable small SUV with good gas milleage.

I’m deciding between 4 Suvs : Subaru Forester with 115,000 mi., leather interior – $4,000, 1997 Toyota RAV 4 with 160,000 mi. – $4,200,1999 HONDA CRV LX 2WD with 126,000 mi and 2002 Ford Escape with 125,000 mi. (this car from a local dealer). I found the lists in craigslist los Angeles. I have 2 dogs, one small and one bigs so I need to consider about the cargo area as well?
Please help me with the pros and cons of these car. Thank you very much.
I forgot to mention “1998″ Subaru Forester.

    Go with either the Honda CR-V or the Toyota RAV4. The Ford Escape is an American car (it will break down about 30,000 miles down the line) that looks junky, low-class, and will probably flip over if you turn at the wrong angle. The Subaru probably isn’t bad, but repair costs will likely be more expensive, seeing as Subaru is not a very popular vehicle and, thus, parts are harder to come by. Whatever you do, don’t buy the Escape.

    Honestly non of them are going to be very reliable just because of the milage but if I were you I’d definetly go with either the Toyota or the Honda. These are both very good cars and are know to last the longest. My very first car was a very ugly, beat up 1986 Toyota Tercel, but I never had one problem with it. So personally I would go with the Toyota. But good luck!

    I’d initially say the Subaru was the best vehicle, but you’ll need to have a mechanic check them out to be sure.

    Price-wise, the Subaru seems like a fair deal.

    I would definitely choose the Ford Escape. If all the other choices were from a person, you wouldn’t how they drove it, if they replaced anything broken or kept it the way it was, if they modified anything, if they took it off road and ate up the suspension, if they liked to drive fast or take sudden stops, ect… If you get any car at a dealer, you know they refreshed almost everything, cleaned it, given it tune ups and oil changes, made it almost like it was brand new again. The Escape also gets very good gas mileage, can haul, and has off road capabilities. It seats up to 5 people.

    ford escape is actually a mazda tribute under a ford skin. The engine is designed by ford but reworked by mazda before it’s being put into the suv. the chassis and drivetrain is all mazda. My pick out of this bunch would be the Honda CRV because it’s a 2wd so it’ll get the best gas mileage.

    The Subaru is the answer. I sell Subarus for a living but being you are in LA, my answer is unbiased. 95% of all Subies bought in the last 10 years are still on the road today. The average owner keeps their subie for min 7years. The boxer engine with the symmetrical all wheel drive is great in all situations dry, wet, or frozen. The repair costs are no higher than any of the three. But it does surpass the rest in safety. If you want more subie info email me at subiejaxman@yahoo.com. I also own one so I can talk.
