What cars do you drive for snow
Out of what we have said, any preferences?
What year are you willing to go back too?
jeepers! $15-20k and that is downgrading? I spent 6k on my car in 2005 and that felt like a small fortune!
haha!
Yeah my current car is the poshest i have owned! LOL
I just don’t see the point - maybe if you drive it every day!
But in terms of the downgrading - he may be talking about size/other things NOT cost.
But hey at least he is not buying brand new! Man that’s is throwing away your cash!
My parents for years have bought a car 6mths ish old and traded it in every 2 years, for a 6mth old car. You still get warranty and get a much better priced car.
Pazza - IMO FWIW if I had of had that budget I would have got an Outback. Foresters are okay but find them not sexy! LOL
outbacks look like old person cars. Forresters are hell better looking!
go forester over outback anyday
Pazza,
a few other things that would be good to know.
How many people will generally be in it? Does it need to carry more than 2 people, eg: do you have kids? ( I got away with 2 seat utes for 8 years no worries)
Do you drive in traffic a lot, unless it’s a performance car you’re after if you’re driving in traffic an auto is a better option.
Does having a bit of warranty left still interest you?
Are you prepared to pay for Premium Unleaded (generally speaking you need this with Suby’s and some others)
Is performance a big consideration?
I guess a lot of it comes down to if you’re a car enthusiast or you like A to B and thats about it.
This would be good for the snow and is big enough to fit a bunch of gear in as well as having decent off road ability should the mood take you

Someone was bored at work! haha
Jeep - HOT
2004 black Forester - slightly less sexy than Jeep
Silver Forrester - boring family car IMO
2006 Imprezza - check you can afford insurance before you commit
2010 - Nice!
2005 Liberty NICE
i30 - Don’t ever buy a Hyandai without talking to me - new or used. Long time family friend owns a dealership in Penrith. Will look after anyone i send their way.

hmmm maybe I should sell mine, and get that…..
Yep thats style is sexy LOL, the older style is a grandma/family car.
(yes I am such a girl!)
if anything i would say the new style is boring/family car. Hence why my mate and his fiancée bought one.
I nearly bought one like this a few years ago;
epic snow cruiser;
how would you go putting chains on those wheels? It looks pretty tight under the arches.
I love the new style. But love the older style too.
My mate has an 08-09 XT and it is an awesome car to drive. I love it. They ahve taken it 4x4in out at Sheepyard Flat too and kept up with all the other trucks
