DD Research
Hey guys,
In near future (3 months) I am planning on acquiring another car for DD (Daily Driving) purposes. I am thinking $3-5k range, something AWD and reliable... Was wondering if you guys have any suggestions so that I can start researching this matter. Thank you in advance, -Sov13t.

Re: DD Research
You kinda left this one wide open!
Impreza? Legacy? Forester? That's what I'd choose from if I was digging for a DD.

Re: DD Research
Yeah, for a daily driver, I'd go with a 2.2 Legacy or Impreza, if you care about fuel economy (I get like 18 out of my SVX, my Legacy got 25 before the HG started leaking...) The 1.8 Imprezas get decent mileage if you get it with a manual, my wife had a 2WD one that was automatic and it was pretty gutless, and it didn't get that great of mileage (I think the best she ever got was like 26ish on the highway)
If you don't care about fuel economy, I'd go with the SVX lol... For the 3k-5k range, I'd go with a late 90s-early 00s Outback, although you could also go for a RAV4 (A bit on the funky lookin side, but they get really good mileage) or a Previa S/C all-trac (19-24MPG and supercharged!)

Re: DD Research
screw these losers!
Im back to my roots. Find a 199o-1999 eclipse GSX and do regular maintenance to it (plugs, wires. timing belt if needed) and keep it stock. More power than the SVX and reliability!
