Vehicle advice: need a 4x4 4 door

[clearconscience]

I just wish they sold the diesel Subaru's in the US

Interesting, which models and years were the worst for the failure?

All of them

They marketed them well back then.

That aside.

Now, it's just a reasonably affordable and reasonably reliable car manufacturer. Hard to get what you can get with Subaru vs other brands.

My Forester is way more car than it's competitors for the same price. At the price I paid you can't get the same features in a CRV or Rav4 you would have to downgrade to their even smaller HRV or CHR to be comparable.

I think they do well for reasons beyond their older marketing.

I thought about getting a Subbie when I was in the market. There are more Subarus in my neighborhood than any other brand. They do well in the snow and on the gravel road.

However, I didn't like their engine. I believe they still have problems with head gaskets and timing belts (chains?), and it isn't cheap to repair either one.

So I got a Bimmer - an X1 M-Sport. For me, myself and I, it is about as close to perfect for my commute as I could get. I like the style, I like the handling and most of the time the size is just right.

I hear Subarus handle snowflakes really well.

I believe it was Freud that said those who shout the loudest about gays (like interject them into a car thread, for instance) very often have something to hide, themselves.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, gents!

I've found lesbians and gays to be far better people the those who denounce them.

I do wonder what those who hate them are hiding.

What kind of snowflakes? The small, inconsequential ones that people ignore, or the big, fat ones that smother everything they land on?

Lol!

The fat, hairy, shirtless ones who are overly picky on dating sites.

Wait, what were we talking about?

Lets get back on topic Gentlemen. Thanks in advance.

I like my f150.

 

[CountryGent]

I like my f150.

Ditto. The one I've had for a while has been a real workhorse. I'm going to be replacing it soon and can't think of a compelling reason not to go with another F150.

 

[Kruel J]

An F-150 is on my radar as well. 4 doors, 4x4 and a truck if the OP needs a truck bed.

 

[T M Tonn]

Raptor.

 

[Kruel J]

Raptor.

What's not to like there? I drive past a Ford dealer everyday and dream about the day when my Ranger will grow up to be a Raptor.

Now where am I gonna get $60k....hmm......

They did, I don't think it's in the US yet though.
