Looking for a reliablw ride to get me back and forth to school for the next few years.

2013 Kia Soul, 63000 miles, it was a rental car for the first 2.5 years, after that it was privately owned for a year.

One reported accident on the car fax, slight rear end damage but everything looks clean.

$8500

Seems like a solid deal to me. How about you guys?

I agree the visibility is terrible and it looks like Hotwheels car, but damn if that's not impressive. Would you put up with those faults if it meant having such a capable car?

This youtube e-celeb is doing another "viewers decide which car I buy" thing. The only stipulation is that it has to be an SUV.

I'm dead against e-celebs and shilling for them in any way but I think it'd be pretty radical to see this dude in a Lada Niva. People are throwing out boring meme-tier suggestions like the Pontiac Aztek.

UK

Just took my brother (no provisional) out to a near deserted car park at night to give him his first ever driving lesson.
Whole sections of empties, keeping away from cars. Young woman walking through car park, tell him to stop, we wait for her to pass. She gets in a car some 30 feet away, I tell him to wait until she moves on. She rolls a cigarette, bro keeps looking at her nervously. She gets out calling over to us, I get out. Clearly a mega-bitch, asks why she's getting looked at, I let slip he's learning, she goes off on one. I walk away.
I swap with him and drive further up the car park, wait for her to leave, she doesn't. Get bored, go, she follows, obviously taking reg. I pull over so she passes.

If she complains which she probably will - struck me as the sort of person who had nothing better to do, how much are the cops going to give this the time of day?

I really want a two door SUV /o/. The thing is, there's hot rodders blood in my veins and I want to mod it to go fast. I don't have to be the fastest but something like a v8 and a supercharger would be plenty. I don't plan on doing hardcore off road, just some light trails. I don't like getting my shit fucked up in the middle of no where. 4x4 is a big plus, but not entirely required.

My knowledge is limited. There are blazers which I could get manual trans 4x4 v6 and do a 350 swap, but thats a lot of headache, I don't have the tools or knowledge to do the swap myself. Light weight (for an suv) and cheap.

Then there is ford explorer sports, but AFAIK it's hard as tits to find a 2 door v8 (if the 2 doors even came with a v8, I'm not sure) and they're all automatics. I also don't like fords.

Also there is the yukon/tahoe, which came 2 door and with a v8, but they're heavy as fuck. Wouldn't mind trying my hands with a 6.5 diesel, but I've heard bad things about that engine, if I could even find one, they're supposedly rare. These you can find in good condition because they're all mall crawlers, but they seem to be the priciest because 2 doors are rare.

Lastly there is the classic XJ two door, can be had in manual with the godlike 4.0. There are turbo kits for it too. Problems with these are they're hard to find in good condition, they're all off road warriors with rust and shit fucked up.

I'm leaning towards the Yukon/Tahoe. Any one got any other honorable mentions? I know suzuki made some good little SUV's like the samurai, tracker, x90, but it would be hard to mod them out to be quick.
