That's what the PowerWagon is for...not very good in the snow!

I am so disgusted with what's going on I ordered a Subaru Forester "premium" and already bought the suspension upgrade kit to install when it shows up - My wife's been driving Foresters since 2017, pretty darn bullet proof vehicle with VERSATILITYSorry, forgot to add that I was looking at possibly a Subaru Crosstrek as well.
Subaru AWD seems to be highly rated.
one in a thousand or more .......Haven't done this yet, but I'll likely buy an electric vehicle for my commuter car. Just not sure which one yet. I do like the recent price drop for Chevy Bolts.
P.S. had a Subaru once, never again. It was not a good vehicle.
I agree with you on Subaru. People either love them or hate them. Those that love them tend to be true zealots for the brand. Up here in Canada, most guys I know that bought one are like you and say never again. They are inordinately difficult to work on and major repairs are both expensive, convoluted and parts can be nearly impossible to get. On the other hand, there is also a contingent that absolutely loves them and seem unfazed by the difficulty of repair issues. I think part of it may come down to do you trade off every 3 years at 100,000 miles or less or do you try to keep them for 300,000 miles.Haven't done this yet, but I'll likely buy an electric vehicle for my commuter car.

My son owns a 2022 Rebel and he also has a Subaru (sorry not sure what model) but he loves the Subaru and calls it a tank (he's military) when driving in the snow (meaning it will go anywhere) ... He and his wife swap vehicles depending on the their need for the day ...Sorry, forgot to add that I was looking at possibly a Subaru Crosstrek as well.

Daily driver me: 2020 Ram 3500, Cummins HO, Aisin, dually.Please bear with me.
So I have a 2014 RAM Laramie with only 42k miles that I bought brand new.
Don't get me wrong, I love my truck.
However, after 4.5 years, work now says I have to start coming in again, versus working from home.
Now, the truck is not the most economical vehicle to drive into work and park in smaller spots.
So I have been debating a small putt-around vehicle.
I live in New England, so snow capable is desired.
I have been all over the spectrum from a Jeep Wrangler, Subaru Crosstrek, BMW Mini and even fun cars like Miata RF convertible hardtop and even the BRZ. (Yup, I know, but the whole mid-life crisis thing. lol)
My wife has a Rogue and while I don't love the car, the seating height and in-out isn't terrible.
I recently tried a 2020 Camry for short money. While a nice car with great MPG's, I feel it's impossible getting in and out without trouble. (No, I'm not fat, 165lbs.)
Being in a truck like the RAM has spoiled me from a seating height, comfort and safety standpoint.
What have you bought that you are happy with for a capable smaller vehicle?
Thanks!
AWD 300C or Charger R/T (2014 is the last year you can get that) or if you really want economy you can get a 300/Charger/Challenger 3.6 AWD (2015 to new).
The $64,000 question right there! Or was that the premium markup if you do find one? HummmmmmThat assumes you can find one to buy
