  • Screw PH. Recommend ME/my SO a new car!

    HELLO~

    Need to buy a 2nd car to supplement my Mazda 3. It'll be mostly a car for my SO who has a long commute.

    Criteria are as follows:
    - Reliable
    - ~30K or less
    - All-wheel drive
    - Higher-than normal car ground clearance (for snow)

    This pretty much requires a small crossover/compact SUV.

    Shortlist so far:

    Nissan Juke: Looked fugly in pictures on first impression, but I saw this in the lot and it's growing on me. It's apparently very fun to drive. Great mileage. Lots of tech gadgets I like.



    Nissan Rogue: I can get great discounts on this as they've overstocked. It is much bigger than the Juke with just a little worse mileage. But it's more mundane as well, "conservatively" styled.




    Toyota RAV4: Would get the V6 version if anything (which is 269hp). Bland appearance, meh handling, bleh interior, but very reliable and very speedy.



    Subaru Forester: "Simple" design. Supposedly feels very nice to drive, though.



    Test drives coming on the weekend. Any others I should consider? Any of these I should not consider?

    What car feels the most drama-queen-like to you ?

      The Juke, for sure.

            I really like the Leaf, but I suppose it's completely unsuitable.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              That Juke is utterly hideous.

                The Juke isn't winning me over on its looks. I can tolerate them.

                I'm more interested in its awesome mileage (27mpg city, 32mpg highway), turbocharged engine, torque-vectoring AWD, standard tech geek features (bluetooth, iPod USB, several LCD screens including one that lets you tune engine settings), and price.

                    For an AWD SUV? Hell yes.

                    If you had to drive in a couple feet of unplowed snow & ice 8 months of the year, your vehicle choice may just change.

                      I'd move somewhere hospitable.

                        To say the least.

                        Plus that's a lynchable offense in Alberta.

                          Buying an SUV there is perfectly reasonable. Buying one to drive the kids to school in Reading, not acceptable.

                            I really wish I could ban Europeans from this poll. Really, do you guys even see what you drive? It's embarrassing.

                              You are seriously considering a car modeled on a radioactively mutated four eyed frog.
