I would suggest looking at a Subaru Forester. They get about 29 mpg on the road are full-time 4 wheel drive and one of the most reliable SUVs around. The Grand Cherokee is a good vehicle, especially for winter driving, but no better than the Forester and has much worse gas mileage. You might try doing a test drive in one.

First off no jeeps. You dont really need a snow car since you live in Georgia and California. Subaru’s are nice but why pay for the all wheel drive if you dont need it. Find a small 2wheel drive SUV, something like a Ford Escape, Chevy Equinox, Toyota Rav4, etc etc. with the 2 wheel drive you will still get decent gas milage and have room for stuff and friends. Theres tons of these small utility vehicles out there, new and used you will have plenty to choose from.

I dont know how much you want to spend or if you want new or used so I didnt really reccomend a specific model, but in general stick with a small 2wheel drive SUV.

You should get a 2009 Toyota Corolla. It is fuel effficient, and great for long trips.
