Car ideas?

I'm not sure where you live, but if you go skiing/snowboarding at all Subarus are amazing. My boyfriend (25) has the Impressa which is great with gas milage and handling. It is also perfect for going up to the mountain. I also can't help but sing the praises of the Toyota Camry

This is from kelly bluebook and has helped me pick cars in the past. It lets you state your needs and then compares cars for you.

This is another quiz which is slightly more comprehensive. If you ever (or more likely parents/grandparents) listened to Click and Clack on NPR, this is from their website.

Thank you!

My dad has a Toyota Camry and he loves it, as do I. I think I'm looking more at SUVs, though.

Wow, going from a tiny sports car to a Grand Cherokee? I think that might be a difficult adjustment. Don't get me wrong, I'm on my fourth Jeep and I love them. But Grand Cherokees are big. Really big. I've had two Cherokee Laredos, one Grand Cherokee and now a Liberty. My least favorite was the Grand. It wasn't as easy to maneuver and I kind of felt like I was driving a mini van. They're big gas guzzlers too. All the Jeeps are. They have a nice solid feel though. One of my Laredos kept me real safe in a nasty accident.

I think of my Jeep as a guilty pleasure. I no longer need the space an SUV affords and the mileage sucks. But it's cute and I do feel safe in it.

Best of luck finding the right car.

I know, it will be an adjustment. I do have some experience with driving larger vehicles since my mom has an SUV that I've borrowed several times. However, I really like SUVs because of their safety and I just want something a lot bigger.

So jealous! I'm looking to buy a car in the next year or so and have been drooling over some of the Audis.

I have a Subaru Outback - it's the 13th Subaru my family has owned, as we all have them. They all had well over 100,000 miles on them before we traded them in. The only other car I can truly recommend is the Volvo SUV I was given as a rental when my current Subaru had to have some body work (darn Chicago drivers!). It was such a dream, but the mileage was awful!
