Is the Honda CRV a womans car mainly?
Hello,
I like the CRV because it has what I am looking for in a car: versatility, comfort, space, safety, comforts and 4WD. To date I am yet to see a guy driving one (especially the new ones) anywhere! I don't really want to be driving a car that is labeled as a womans car. When I went to the dealer I talked to a salesman about my interest in the CRV. The first thing he asked was if I had kids, when I said no, he seemed surprised that I would want the CRV and tried to get me interested in the Pilots. Unfortunately I don't have 30-36k to spend on an suv. Now I am thinking about the possibility of getting a Jeep Patriot or Jeep Wrangler, just don't know what the reliability is like. I know those are considered more men's cars than the CRV. Its not that this is a big issue, but its a little odd that only women seem to drive them. Same with the RAV4 for that matter. I'm looking to be in the 19-24k range in the next car so I thought either of the Jeeps would be in this range and offer some kinds of comfort and 4WD ability. So does anyone know anything about the Jeeps from personal experience? Thanks, Al |

Also see a lot of women driving Suburbans, Tahoes, Expeditions and so forth. Probably need to take a poll before you buy. |

Unfortunately I don't have >30-36k to spend on an suv. Let me get this straight. If you don't have kids, you need a bigger car? Here is what is happening. CRVs are selling like hot cakes because they are freshly redesigned and gas is over $3. Pilot sales are sluggish. If the salesman sells you a Pilot, he will make more money on that sale and he knows he can sell the CRV to someone else. So he is jerking you chain trying to shame or embarrass you into buying a car you don't want and can't afford. Any time a salesman tells you it's a man's car or a woman's car, get down on your back and look at the undercarriage between the rear wheels. If you don't see genitalia, you can rest assured that the salesman is full of ****. Buy the car you want. > >Now I am thinking about the possibility of getting a Jeep Patriot or Jeep >Wrangler, just don't know what the reliability is like.

Of course, it was a fairly wimpy-looking guy.... ;-) The only car I can think of off the top of my head that I would definitively classify as a 'woman's car' would be the New Beetle. If you want the CRV, then buy the CRV and enjoy it. Dan D Central NJ USA |
