I agree. Jeep Wrangler.
I'm sure you're sending the additional 5K :hehe:
I'd go for the CR-V or the Forester unless the latter it is this one
😎
I think that's a DE-forester.
I would pick the Subaru out of that list. Check out the CRV crash test ratings carefully, we were looking at 2015 models and the scores for the CRV were shockingly bad in comparison with the Mazda and Subaru we were also considering. I have a Civic, have owned other Hondas, and absolutely would not let my wife buy it after we looked at the crash tests. Hopefully they've gotten better, it was definitely a surprise.

WOW. The company who built our ERP apparently also created some ETL jobs for us on our BI server. There is an issue with one of those jobs that was handed to me today. This job has 316 steps. And every single job goes to step 316 on failure and inserts the exact same error "information". Seriously 316 steps??? And just the step I am working on is a single stored procedure that calls more than 40 others, and most of those calls others. And the naming conventions make me want to peel my eyeballs. Ed Wagner likely knows the kind of BS I am dealing with as he has worked this particular joy of an application before. See you guys next week or so once I start to unravel this monstrosity.

Subaru is true all wheel drive. The Honda is front wheel drive,but when needed, it transfers power to the rear wheels. I went through this same debate a couple years ago, although I bought an Outback instead of a Forrester.

Toyota has a new small SUV. My wife was considering it, but we're hoping the hybrid comes next year from the UK. There it's a 50-60mpg car

For that size and considering that you want a hybrid, I'd check the Kia Niro. We're probably discarding it because it's the smaller one and for some weird reason, my wife thinks that we might be driving uphill offroad at some point in time. The warranties are also really attractive.
EDIT: I must add that we're biased against Toyota. But that's just personal experience.

Buy a bunch of spray-can Ferrari red paint at an auto-parts store and re-paint it, take the top off, hire a mariachi band to meet you at the border crossing, and drive them around...
They'll love it.
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic about the mariachi band. But not painting it Ferrari red.)

My wife has loved her two Prius' over the years, just wants more clearance and a better chance of moving in snow. That's the main Prius drawback for us.
I'll have to check out the Kia. At first glance, it seems pricier for nothing more, but I'll look.

Any we are definitely offroad. 0.5mi of gravel to our house, plus plenty more for my wife's clients.

Oh my. I've never worked with anything they created in SQL Server before, but I know their mentality in writing software defies reason and rational thought. If you think you'll be able to get it fully figured out in a week, it must be a simple one. I think it's called "rambo coding" in that they just keep pressing forward until it works one time through.
It's no wonder the company's been sold several times...the sellers couldn't maintain their software and the buyers didn't know what they were buying other than a sales worksheet. I've said it before, Sean, but I think it warrants saying again: I don't envy you in having to work with that particular product.

So what you're saying Steve, is that your wife needs a Deuce and a half?
Plenty of ground clearance, more than enough "oomph" under the hood to deal with snow, mud, small rivers, stubborn cattle, and slow cars, and then you can put it into 6x6 drive for the really tough spots...
😀
I keep semi-joking about getting one to use in the winter instead of my car, but I don't think the HOA would appreciate one of these things being parked in my drive...
Now, the guys at the gate at work? They'd love it, but I think some people might complain about me taking up two parking spaces...
(Fun fact, in the state of Michigan, you don't need a special license to drive one of these brutes and they're completely street-legal, so getting plates is no different than any other car.)

I believe that the registration cost is based on the cost of the vehicle now, so there would be one slight difference every year. Then again, if you can afford one, you probably won't have to worry about the registration and plate fees. 😛
