I agree with aviduser. We bought a Kia Sorento 4x4 after renting for a month or so. Have had it almost 3 years without needing major repairs.Living close to your workplace would minimize driving and help the environment. I try to be environmentally aware because that is what we do in Canada, but in general that is not much of a concern here They should be more concerned because if the sea levels rise most of this country will be under water. If you go out in the desert there is garbage everywhere. There is garbage and broken glass next to the road. There are no official attempts at recycling. I digress and ramble. Bye now.
