Hey /o/, first time here, be gentle. I took a look at the sticky,

>>16637592
>Toyota RAV4
Overpriced
>HRV/CRV
CVT
>Subaru Crosstrek
CVT

Tucson best choose.

>>16637592
>buying a crossover
Post tits. Only women buy crossovers.

>>16637747
What's wrong with CVT?

>>16639140
Repair costs, shitty to drive, loud drone

>>16637592
>an SUV with AWD.
None of those are SUV's. They are all crossovers. Please put your domineering wife on the thread so we can attempt to talk her out of this horrifying purchase, because you clearly are not man enough to stand up to her.

>>16637747
>gook shit

>>16637592
why not get a truck? the current market is pretty lacking when it comes to SUVs. American trucks are bretty good too so you'll have more options to choose from

>>16637592
They are all cuckold/soccer mom SUVs why do you want one
Get Full-size sedan they have plenty of cargo room or get a truck and put a bed cover so you have a lot of cargo room

>>16637592
Mazda CX-5

you live in civilization don't you? they plow the roads don't they? just get a fucking sedan.

>>16639583
Just fucking get a sedan/hatchback and put in some winter tires, and call it a day.

>>16637592

Why the fuck are you not considering a Forester if you're already looking at AWD RAV4/CRV/Tucson? The Subaru Crosstrek is not in the same class as the others, except the HRV.

In any case, the correct answer is motherfucking Subaru, because it's the only one among the cars you listed that has an AWD system that will actually make a difference.

Range Rover

>they plow the roads don't they?
Sure, but not 24/7.

>>16639644
>put in some winter tires
Too much work, I'll settle on an SUV that comes AWD.

>>16639665
Forester costs a bit too much, if I recall correctly.

I don't know anything about cars guys I'm so sorry ;_; If you guys posted more detailed suggestions, maybe I could switch over to a sedan, but I prefer looking down on other cars and people

>I would rather slide around on 4 steel donuts rather than 2 sticky rubber tires.

>>16639913
if i needed sticky rubbers i would reach into your mom
it's not winter year round anyways

>>16639904
>Winter tires:
>buy some shitty steel wheels
>pay a guy to put winter tires on them
>jack up and swap when the season hits

>AWD SUV:
>difficult parking, sky high fuel expenses, AWD maintenance costs when shit breaks

>>16639665
Not the cuck OP, I've been thinking about a 2009 Forester XT Limited

Is this a bad idea? I don't want my dick to fall off. Flannel doesn't look good on me either.

>>16639918
>jack up and swap when the season hits
i don't think you guys understand, i just want to get a car and drive it around and take it to it's 10K or 5K mile maintenance whenever that arrives
i'm not a hobbyist, i'm not looking for a slick deal, i'm not looking to rice out my car, i'm not looking to have to worry about getting jacked and swapping tires, i just want a car that works with a decent warranty

>>16637592
>>16639928
Bugger the SUV bit and get yourself a WRX with roof racks. That'll feel different, like a real kick in the ass. You've got power enough not to struggle on the highway and you'll be laughing in the snow.

Ask Tyrone to change the tires when he comes by to see your wife's son.

Let's do a little math then.
In cold weather, normal tire rubber compound gets too hard to properly grip, now add in snow and ice, or even liquid water.
>I'll have AWD!
Right, you'll have twice as many cold, gripless tires. What's 2x0 again? Oh...

>>16639962
Stay strong brother, wizard powers are imminent

>>16639928
If you're not an enthusiast why are you here? The warranty is nothing special. Pretty much everyone has 100k powertrain warranty. Besides, all these crossovers are fwd until it slips, making them worthless in slick conditions.
