I've hauled little shit like furniture and junk and shit. My xterra gets pretty decent mileage and it is a stick shift. What half ton do you have?

Yes, a 1/2 ton or a full size suv can do better then the xterra but i dont need a full size suv or a pickup.

I love my xterra and wouldnt trade it for anything. It has a following like the wrangler. You just need to buy one and you'll find out.

Thats the Legacy GT wagon. Rims are stock, idk about the spoiler though. The spoiler looks to be the only mod, definitly not a ricer.

My friend has an older v70r, like 1999 or so and its pretty nice. The only things that are bad is that its not manual and the engine. All volvos have the same engine i think, these just have a turbo

No. I'm almost positive everything on that wagon is stock with the exception of the spoiler which I am not sure about. My friend has a GT wagon and it looks exactly the same with the exception of the spoiler, and it's black instead of red.

so much fail in this thread. A skyline? A wrx? a s4? a 335?really?! He set a list of points he is looking for in his new car and none of these cars meet this list. They are all not reliable in the least, and dont bullshit with " my buddies wrx has been good" because they are a horizontal engine, the cost of repairs on that engine are normally 1.5 times the labour cost of an inline or V engine. If you are look for cheap all wheel drive in a car, youre shit out of luck because if you want a car that will not cost a fair amount of money to keep on the road you need to spend a premium. Maybe think about a rav4, mitsu outlander, honda crv ?

really? my moms car (V70), the V70r and my firends XC90 all have the same engine. They are all around 1999-2003, did they change this?

can't go wrong with a subaru, and the only way to get them stuck in snow is if you high center them, they are amazing in snow.

and the ppl telling you get a Jeep, not a good idea. 4 of my friends have cherokees and they break down or have some kind of major malfunction costing more that $1,000 at least once a year if not more. all i ever hear about jeeps is them breaking down and people just pouring money into them. i will never buy a jeep.

They obviously havent taken care of them or got them from somebody who didnt either. My moms friend has a 1996 cherokee with upwards of 300k on it and it runs brand new.
