Answer 2

No. Choosing a vehicle is such a subjective process that nobody can tell you what is the "perfect" vehicle for you. You can usually pare down the list objectively at the beginning of the process, but it will come down to emotions in the end for most people.

I've got a buddy who commutes over 150 miles a day round trip. He drives a Ford Excursion and is constantly whining about how much it's costing him for fuel. If you suggest that he trade the Excursion for a Toyota Prius he'll about take your head off. Any objective analysis of his need points clearly to the Prius and he even admits that it would make a lot of sense. But he won't do it. Go figure. But that's human nature.
