Looking at options for a new (to me) DD

[Zoom6]

I've come to realize that my "reliable" car is becoming my unreliable car and my backup (the Jeep) is on its way out and isn't exactly the best DD anyway. I'm not sure what I want exactly but I'd like an AWD car with low ownership costs and all the creature comforts (heated mirrors, heated seats, power seats, moonroof, etc). Would like to keep it under the $10k mark.

Aaaannnnnnd, discuss.

Hopping on the new DD under 10k thread bandwagon?

Lol

I didn't have any luck finding one in those categories. I opted to go with fwd.

[packofqtips]

Hmm. I wonder if you can get a used fusion awd for that price

[Zoom6]

I didn't even know the fusion came in awd.

[packofqtips]

Yes it does

Tell me why I don't want this.

Higher maintenance cost

[Zoom6]

Just parts pricing or does it suck to work on? Common problems? [MENTION=34624]HM Motor Works[/MENTION]?

[packofqtips]

Posts are expensive and they suck to work on

early passat based A4, or Bugeye impreza.

[MaliBoost]

Yeah just get a bugeye and make some monster stickers.

Finally realized that Mazda 6 /= reliable?

Ya I'm realizing that a heavily modified car isn't the best idea to rely on every day.
