You have posted 3 kind of cars in your 3 choices...

And telling us what's important to you in a car would help us help you make a decision...

That's the thing... I don't know. :(

I like the Alero, cause it's a nice, sleek car that goes 140. :)

I like the Blazer cause it's a bigger car, and is a bit more luxurious in the inside.

Now the Wrangler is a whole diffrent story. My dad, who is also paying for my car, Absolutly LOVES the Wrangler. It's like his DREAM car. He had a budget of 10k for me, but he's willing to spend 20k on this Wrangler. So in a sense, he wants this car more than I do. If I get this car, then I get to learn stick, and I get to drive my dad's 02' Envoy also. So thats 2 diffrent cars a week!!!! I don't know why, but I just don't like it that much. But it's alright....

I just don't know what to do. :(

The max speed on the speedometer has nothing to with a car's actual top speed. Where do you plan to drive 140 anyway?

Because, If I get the Wrangler, my dad's dream car, he said I can drive his Envoy 3-4 days out of the week, while he drives the Wrangler.

get the alero.. its the most comfortable, most fun to drive. not to mention it will make long trips really nice.

the jeep is a nice vehicle, just not very practical.. its hell for daily driving.. loud, uncomfortable, and terrible on the highway.

and suv's suck.. the blazer is extremely cheap, and if you drive one-- you'll realize that its not a very nice suv. it feels like its going to fall apart just from driving it. the envoy is a little nicer.. but still, its an SUV and wont' match the alero as far as quality of ride.

for a first car-- the alero is the best bet.

Alero sucks balls.. we had one as a rental once... un-adjustable lumbar support felt like it was going to break my back.. I hate GM interior design! and the car was cheesy and cheap-ass too.. not to mention REALLY ugly from behind..... needless to say i pick wrangler because you can for some reason also drive an envoy then? the Envoy i drove in was fairly nice.. 2002.. it had no power but it was alright.

I just got an Escape a few months ago. Got it mainly because it was a good deal, but i'm glad i did. It's a nice car and it doesn't hurt my wallet too much.
