Get a nice floor jack and some jack stands and you'll be glad you did.

The scissor jack seriously scares me...just this past year I changed a lady's tire in a parking lot for her. CRV, I used the factory scissor jack. Well as the car is up just enough to get the new tire on, the jack bends and seizes in position. I had about 1mm clearance to get the spare on, and then I couldn't let the jack down, so I had to (gulp) have her drive off the jack slowly until I could kick it out and remove it.
