+eleventy billion on getting a Subaru Outback.
Ok, I have one. In terms of the combination of comfort, daily practicality, people moving, hauling, towing, inclement weather driving, and fuel economy, the Jeep just can't touch it. The Jeep does certain things better off road, has a higher view of the road, and has a gazillion aftermarket parts for it dating back to the stone age and going into the next millennia, but the average roadway citizen won't benefit much from these things.
And yes, I tow the Mobius with it on occasion. Could easily handle whatever her "light trailer" is.

she will lose more on depreciation/resell on the Subaru than she will spend on gas for the Jeep.

Guys - I will forward all of your experience, advice, comments, observations, and thoughts regarding the Jeep when I see my sister this weekend. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond. Very helpful. Thanks! - Deerfield
