I've been looking at the Rav4 on the road....I see them A LOT...and I think they are just too small..., so I'm gonna cross that one off my list. So, I'm down to these......
Kia Sorento $19,665 MSRP
Hyundai Tucson $17,499 MSRP
Mitsubishi Outlander $17,999 MSRP

then see how you feel.. but also vehix and cars.com bother have comparison programs so you could pull up the 3 side by side and see the stats... I can't decide or get a car for at least 2 months, but I figure I'll go test drive the prius Monday- then I can either leave it on the list or cross it off fast!

OK, I just got an email back from Pemco.... I'm currently paying $935 per year for my 2000 Malibu.
2005 Kia Sorento EX/LX $1,103 ($168 more per year, $14.00 per month)
2005 Hyundai Tucson $1,179 ($244 more per year, $20.33 per month)
2005 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS $1,152 ($217 more per year, $18.08 per month)
Not bad..... 
Test drive time over the next couple of weeks...

I'm glad I don't have to buy cars often cuz the going from dealer to dealer and having to talk with the sales people and how they do the switch off stuff just drives me NUTS!! LOL
Any way... here is the scoop......
2005 Subaru Outback (too much $$)
2005 Kia Sorento (too much $$)
2005 Kia Sportage - liked it alright
2005 Hyundai Tucson - liked it better then the Kia, basically the same...since they are made by the same company..but did not "look" as cheap!
2005 Toyota Rav4 - This one BY FAR is my fav!!
2005 Mitsubishi Outlander - decided not to buy one due to many roomers of them going out of business.
Will go back out again next Sun I think with my Sister.... I'm the driver, SHE is the negotiator...and she is really good at it... she had a few "burn on them" lines when they were talking about $$. She is rather FIRM!!

LOL .... I do recall your the Toyota girl!! I just got off the phone with my sister.... we ran the numbers and she says, "all I know is you need to buy this soon, so I can sleep!"  It is all she can think about is closing this deal!! LOL So, I have a feeling by this time next week I'll be driving a 2005 Rav4 (basic hopefully w/sunroof.....in either silver, white, or maybe the green!!)

I emailed Pemco this morning to find out the rates for the Toyota Rav4.... looks like it is the same as the Hyundai.
2005 Toyota Rav4 $1,179 ($244 more per year, $20.33 per month)

Good luck and positive thoughts headed your way.. I am leaning towards a wagon and not an SUV since we have Bill's- better gas mileage for me... so... jetta wagon (diesel) or impreza or some other car.. they all seem to be the same price range too!

... I am a Toyota driver (1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5) and I love it! No major problems. Great in the snow, too. Need that with the snow storms we get in New jersey.
Only recurring problem I hear about from other Toyota owners and experience myself is the body rusting!
Still wouldn't trade it for anything though!
