trade the acura and the wife in on some mods.... you'll be wayyyyy happier in the long run... the jeep never tells you no, it never tells you to take out the garbage, it dosent nag, its just there ready for you to play with. c'mon do right right thing and keep the jeep

I would be speechless if I was in your position other than the word NO! A Sportage?! I haven't researched the crash ratings, but I bet the family would be safer in the Jeep. The Jeep is also PAID OFF, so though the Kia may have better gas mileage, you would also have a car payment AND the insurance would go up. You already have the Acura as a "family" vehicle, what more does she want?

LMAO at the picture of the Kia you posted.

Ok, so coming from a woman, I think your wife is nuts!!!

I love our Jeep, my kids would rather be in it with no top, windows and doors during a cold day then ride in the nice big comphy F250 than we also have (needed to pull my horse trailer or we would have 2 JK's).

Problem solved. I won't even charge you for my advice
that's it right there...go 4-door...

loosing the wife might be a little drastic as you have a youngster...
gotta keep that bread-snapper happy at all costs...
you have to be happy too...a kia will turn you into a grumpy-dad...no good... !!!

I showed this thread to my lady she was laughing ... she told me she will never tell you to choose kia instead of jeep ... and "yours is yours and mine is mine" (I don't like her car but I will not push her to change it ).

However, we both acknowledged if this (see pic) was an option she would be pushing ... a lot!
And I might not be able to resist ... maybe
