A few months ago I bought my civic because I'd been wanting it forever. Unfortunately, the interior has proven to be really cheap and I'm afraid to let a lot of people or my dogs ride in it for fear of getting it scratched. I also, after having driven it for a few months, find the front seat very uncomfortable. This weekend I almost traded it in for the Jeep thinking that an SUV was the way to go in order to combat the dog problem. I'm just so distrusting of American cars. I looked briefly at the CRV and RAV4 but fear I won't be able to afford them. I also worry that they'll scratch just as easily. Will a Jeep Liberty run as long as and as well as my civic? How much should I expect to talk down the dealers? (At Honda they don't budge much on new cars...I don't know how Jeep works.) Any advice on the matter would be great!
