the Equinox is on the high end of what I might be able to afford, too. Neither the Equinox or the Rogue are "recommended." But the HHR is. And so is the Nissan Murano (too expensive), the Nissan Versa Hatchback (too small?) but not the Cube. I'm talking about the CR recommendation, which is only one criteria I'm looking at, but it's a place to start.

The CVT -- that's the transmission, right? Supposed to be good? What about going for a manual transmission? Cheaper, more fun (I don't typically drive in stop-and-go traffic), sometimes more fuel efficient, but you have to replace the clutch in 4 yrs?
