There are some city dwellers who seem to thing "everyone" in the burbs drives an SUV, commutes 45 minutes to work, and is generally raping the envirnoment. So I thought I'd take a poll.

Edit: Do to the way CD's polls are set up, I have to do a series of polls.

ha! well, I do commute abou 45 minutes. My own stupid fault. I should have taken a much harder look at mass transit compared to where we bought our home. I've still managed to make transit work for me though.

And big SUV?? that's just dumb. Both me and my DH own sedans, very low in gas and one of our cars we own outright. I don't use very much gas as I drive to a park-n-ride.

I had to vote "other" as I have both a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Toyota Camry, driving each one as my whims dictate.

I moved from the exurbs (Castle Rock) to the suburbs (Centennial). In CR, most of my neighbors had a full-size truck or SUV. Here in Centennial, I see very few trucks and the smattering SUV-driving soccer moms prefer vehicles of the smaller variety. It may have a reputation as a wealthy suburb, but you'd never know it from the cars. Lots of old scooby-doos, hondas, and buicks around here. It appears the "Millionaires Next Door" aren't enamored of Hummers.

I had a sedan until the son wrecked it last week.

Now I ride the RTD (which I did on occasion any way)

I have a mini-SUV, Honda CR-V. It's about the size of a small station wagon. DH has a Toyota Corolla. My neighbors have all varieties of cars: compacts to SUVs, plus trucks.

We live in Central Aurora.

I primarily drive a Honda Civic Hybrid, about 75% of the time.

We also have a Chrysler Town & Country, that I drive about a quarter of the time, along with a Jeep Liberty that I drive about -30% of the time (Meaning, it usually just sits in the driveway).

Not to hijack your thread or anything, but I live IN the city and county of denver and drive a pickup truck.
(but I do take RTD to work, so the truck gets driven mostly on the weekend)

I drive a CR-V & hubby (when he does drive) has a Pontiac Grand Prix. Most of the time it sits in the driveway as most of his travel is done by air.

We have a 2008 Toyota Sequoia. Seats 8. Weighs 6200 pounds. Six airbags. Probably gets 15 mpg. Usually has five or six people in it.

Safer than a little car; F still equals ma.

Gets more (people-miles)/gallon than one or two people in a 30 mpg car.
