-2004 Outback H6 VDC Wagon - gangster McIntosh sound system, dual moonroofs, very smooth H6 engine, much better on gas than your rotary, and it's dirt cheap used

-I'd cross off the Liberty completely if I were you; utterly garbage.. GMC Envoys and Chevy Trailblazers are good alternatives.. Our company has a fleet of them, and they've been super reliable (all are beaten, and have over 180,000kms)..

Brute_4s: I'm pretty sure the roads in Kelowna are worst than North Van.. I drive a FWD Mazda with Michelin X-Ice2's all around, and I did well the entire season

fwd isnt rwd....simple as that...his rx8 is rwd...and thus isnt built for snow whereas fwd is decent for all around driving....anyone should be able to drive fwd in the snow, i said nothing about that

I drove to North Van for post-secondary in a RWD vehicle... So long as you aren't being stupid, there's nothing dangerous about it. Don't gun it and take turns nice and easy.

Think about it this way: For decades, the majority of vehicles out there were purely RWD. What did people do when it snowed? They drove their RWD car.

For decades people drove without seatbelts, Do i ever do it? no...

Not shunning RWD in snow though, LSD + snow tires is great :thumbsup:

just buy a winter beater lol

:werd: buy an old truck with low gear etc :thumbsup: buy 3 months of insurance :) will cost u less in the end prolly

Myself, i really like the Suzuki Grand Vitara (2007+ model). WHat u guys think?

Why do you need a SUV?
Just get a sporty awd car... quattro audi is a suggestion... buddy of mine has gone through 3 (upgraded) they kick ass.

Ask somepunk, he services these at North van suzuki, could tell you how good/bad these are

Frankly I like the Rav4 way better, but just my opinion

why not a subaru

MDX dude


first gen x5 had numerous problems

unless u can afford the 2nd gen

^no point for Op to get such a big car with such poor gas mileage, although the latter he probably got used to in his RX8 :haha: (but i shouldn't be the one talking...)

tat is true mdx is pretty heavy on gas, but rx8 are pretty bad to begin with

Well, so many ppl suggest me to choose subaru.Even if i buy a subaru, i would only go for STI or LEGACY. STI is out of my budget and most LEGACY is wagon model. I dont really like the outlook of outback...

You gotta sacrifice something man, unless you got the coin

Find a used Legacy 2.5GT sedan. Given your budget, you should be able to afford one. Its somewhere around $15k.

get subaru forester. very good stuff

^if your a lesbian! jkjk

forester 2.5xt

^don't forget cobb tuning chip!

me too!

Nissan X-Terra (2005+)
