It'd be nice if you guys told me why whatever car you're recommending is good too, thanks.

>>14228162
Choose one:

- Toyota RAV4
- Hondra CR-V
- Subaru Legacy/Outback Wagon

They are all reliable and easy to repair, have AWD, have good space for storage, and get decent gas mileage.

Yes, I'm doing a lot of research right now. There's a hell of a lot of information out there and it's nice to have help sorting through it on places like this.

Just about everyone on this board will say something foreign

The northern part of the state is actually pretty high in elevation and a lot cooler.

>>14228162
Just get a corolla or an accord and put snow tires on that bitch in the winter.

Pine Creek Gorge > Grand Canyon.

Get a CRX, honda reliability and /o/ approved. Finding a clean one in AZ should be no problem even with 3k budget, above all avoid salvage titles

You should check Phoenix classifieds and buy one down here if you can make the trip. No rust. I don't go to northern AZ often enough in the winter to know if they salt their roads or not.

pic unrelated don't buy one of these for 3k lmao

The thing is I'm majoring in forestry and I'll probably need a car that can drive in the mountains sooner or later. I'm just switching into it now, so I don't know what to expect, but I'm pretty sure my adviser said that they do that once I get into the later classes.

Hate to break this to you, but modern Jeeps are unreliable shit. They are made by Chrysler, the worst american car company, so you can bet the quality is garbage. Even if yours ends up needing little work, the MPGs will suck compared to other capable cars, which you'll hate paying for as a student.

Read the sticky.
>>14228272
This is a good place to start. Seriously dude, you don't need a fucking Jeep.

>>14229831
I'm definitely leaning towards the CR-V after doing more research into it.

>>14228162

Get a Boxster

oh god this

>putting it off because it will just grenade

>>14229864
Rav4 will last a little longer than it while the subaru would probably be the most fun
