    AWD Car Opinions???

    Looks like my car may be totalled so I am in the market for a new car. Since I was not planning this, wanted to get some opinions of newer cars people recommend. Thinking AWD if it is a car and would have to be fairly fast. Probably will buy new since I will qualify for 0% interest and incentives.

    What you guys recommend? It will be my only car and daily driver.

    Or should I just get a truck?

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Dude, you live in Colorado. Subieville. If it weren't for Boulder, Subaru woulda gone outta business a while ago I'm guessing 90% of the responses to this thread will have a Subaru of some sort.

    I'd get a new SHO....

    Dude, you live in the suburbs of Denver...

    You need a completely over sized truck!

    Nothing smaller than a 250/2500
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Yeah STI or Evo are the usual response, but not sure I want one since so many of them are out there. Still a option, but trying to find more options out there too.

    Guess it doesn't have to be a AWD, just decent in the snow since it is my old vehicle.

    Tempting, I do like your car, but thinking 0% is is so nice; paid my last car off this way in two years. Haven't went with the "used" option yet.

    Good option...thanks! I'll go by your dealership if I decide with Infinity. My stepmom works at a Nissan dealership in Albuquerque, so she may be able to get me a deal on a Nissan, but doubt that goes to Infinity right? (Since Nissan is Infinity related)

    I really like the 2012 370Z, but I think they may suck in snow. Rear wheel drive....

    Yesterday. Some stupid lady ran a red light. Cop saw it all and issued her a ticket so hopefully insurance goes ok and I get a check. Maybe they can fix mine, but front end is all smashed in; still waiting to hear back. Sucks I liked my car and only had 72K miles with a lot of upgrades. Just glad I was not on the bike...would be in hospital now.

    Acura RDX. If you're rolling in the dough like Ezzzy, get the ECU flashed for another 30hp or so

    We have an 09 Subaru WRX and LOVE it! Very quick on the street, corners great and is comfy. During the winter we swap out and put a set of snow tires on it, and we have no problems. You can cruise over the passes all winter with no issues. Great car!

    Fast and 370z, no such thing up here or even at sea level; of course depends on how you define fast or if you are willing to go F/I.

    You can get the best snow tires and weigh the back down, but the clearance will get you high centered even leaving your street.

    You should narrow down your preferences. There's too many options. Car, truck, or SUV? Require 4 doors (have kids or babyseat?) Price-range? Is MPG a concern? I assume loaded (leather, heated seats, most power options, nice stereo/Nav?), since you're going new...

    Lexus IS250 AWD are badass, luxurious, sporty, hold value, gadgets, and reliable. Will probably go 200k miles before you need anything beyond oil changes and timingbelt/waterpump, lol.
