Need input on new car.

Post by HazmatJeff » Sun May 12, 2013 10:38 am

Hello everyone!

This is my 3rd year with my Neon and also marks the end of my loan! After some careful thought I have decided to give my car to my girlfriend and purchase something newer.

Currently I'm looking at:
06-08 Scion tC
05 Subaru Impreza WRX

Being in Southern Maine and having to deal with a good amount of snow for 4 months, I'm also thinking of:
Ford F150
GMC Sierra 1500
Jeep Grand Cherokee

I'm on the fence about these because I'm only thinking of these for winter use and not for the other 3 seasons.

With that being said my budget is around 8k-9k and its going to be my new vehicle for at least 4 years. I'm open to all suggestions and input. My daily commute is about 35 miles.

Depending on how fuel prices rise and fall, depends on how well you like the last three.

Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

This winter wasn't even all that bad. Any car with ABS would be a great upgrade from the Neon.

What years? There were some great years and some not-so-great years for all three of those.

WRX > Scion in EVERY way possible.

Also nice in the winter time as well.
