Default Need your Opinion on a New Car

It's come time for me (sadly) to think about selling my baby and getting a 'year around car'. I've got an 02 GT vert and as we all know they can't be driven in the snow. I live in Kansas City so the winters here are pretty harsh. Also, I don't have a garage spot so it gets snowed on and all that crap. I have such respect for mustangs that I don't want to see my nice car go through another winter.

Now for your much needed opinion...I don't have the option of buying another car so I will have to sell this car. I will have about 16,000 to budget and I am looking for a year-around car and decent gas mileage to boot. I just want to get some ideas stirring because I know as I'm looking for cars there are a lot I'm leaving out.

And trust me, I don't want to get rid of the stang. The car is a blast but I just started up college and given the circumstances I need to sell it.

This doesn't mean when I get my degree and have the money for multiple cars I won't buy one back Mustang fan FOREVER.

Sounds like something with AWD will work well for you. A used Subaru WRX should fit your budget and needs.

I say move to Texas with us. I get to cruise with my top down just about 10 months a year. Then your problem is solved. You do not even have to worry about the snow.

The Subaru is a good choice. My friend's wife has one and it is a blast to drive.

He said he wanted something with good gas mileage. My half modded f150 supercrew is currently getting about 10-11 mpg.

i agree the wrx is a great choice with an all wheel drive 4banger, plus they can be real fast
