I was leaning towards a subaru cross trek but ended up leaning more towards the 2014 outback. They are like the same price and there are quite a few reviews suggesting that the cross trek plummets in mpg after not that long. Plus, the outback is very spacious. I have $7500 to put down and I passed the credit check for 1.9% interest which is not too shabby. They said they could for sure beat the other dealership's offer of 22.9k without taxes included. I'm gonna go back friday to hammer out the price. Outbacks hold their value insanely well in colorado so it's only nominally more for a new one.

My experience, driving a hour each way, get something you like that's reliable. The outback is a great choice for AWD. Just dont get one with a CVT transmission. You will regret that later on with rebuilds.
Also dont be cheap on oil changes. Run full synth with good filter. Keep up with your transmission services, but only go through a subaru dealer. Also being AWD, make sure you replace all your tires every time you need some.

Never finance a depreciating asset. Finance 101. Get something you can actually afford.

Income based repayment on my student loan + car payment will be easy to make. Subarus depreciate very nominally in Colorado. Besides, didn't the housing crash teach us that nothing is for sure non-depreciative? I need a car that will not break down and I will not die in. Life 101.

Sounds like a sweet idea.
You have that new car smell in your brain now don't you?
I can tell.
Perfect Colorado car.
They do cost a bit to maintain but if you love them, they love you back.
I miss mine, but not worth the extra cost in Hawaii.

It would hold if you kept the mileage down but you can't. It's a tool, and all good tools eventually wear out when you use them

I don't know what sort of Honda cars can survive the snow, but all I know is Honda's from the 1990's or so are fucking AWESOME.... drive them to the ground , literally, 250,000 miles plus.
I will also stand by the 1990 F150 V8 series or better, things are tanks.

I agree. Hondas are great.
But do you need to drive one 2 hours a day in good weather, let alone Rocky Mountain snow?

I hope you're kidding, because there is a lengthy list of known failures and problems with 1990s Cherokees- Grand or not. Not to mention the biggest problem with any Jeep; being a Chrysler vehicle.

You don't need a brand new car man. 2000-2007 Subaru's like the Impreza or Legacy are still really nice and would last a long time if you take care of them, and cost so sooo much less. Im driving a 93 Impreza, shit's bulletproof, engine is gleaming.

I jus got a 2012 Nissan Maxima with 29k miles on it for 24k. Toobad after the warrantee and the bank loan im going to be spending over 32k for the damn thing. I got ripped but the car is so sexy...

What do you guys think? im paying 380 a month and put down 10k. Expensive, I know.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
