My lease is up this month, looking for suggestions for autos that you have driven and liked. Definite requirements are good in inclement weather, no crazy low gas mileage, fits a single girl on LI budget, and not too small. I've driven both sedans and SUV's and don't have a strong preference one way or the other. Okay let me hear them, I know there are car buffs on here...thanks!

Definitely test driving a Jeep, but they are all over the place now and I want something a little unique...
Audi A3 is also on the list.

I have an A6 so I'm a big fan of the performance and understated luxury/class of Audi. I never understand why people are into Jeep. It seems like a pushed advertising notion of some rugged, independent American ideal while being junk with poor styling and features.click to expand

It's not that old. I got it with less than 50,000 miles on it and I've put 12,000 on it in 3 years..still nicer than your crappy runner šclick to expand

When it doubt, get a VW beattle
I have one, you barely see any around my area.
The sucky part of it is that you can't shut off traction control. So snow is your enemy.
Get a Jeep if you don't like comfort. They ride rough af. But if your state has better roads than Michigan than maybe you won't notice anything.
I like the new chrsyler 200's
My friend has a 2018 chevy malibu premier. Really speedy car thats also nice on gas.
If you like to speed it might not the best car for you.

Dodge Durango or Jeep Cherokee.
Have you driven these? Everyone I know that has the Cherokee loves them.
I do, I own 2 Durangs. The 6 cylinder gets great fuel mileage. The v8 averages 18 for me. The All of them are built on a Mercedes platform and Mercedes engineering from before Fiat acquired them. If they make a hellcat version I'll buy it in a heartbeat.click to expand

Ugh you said it was quite old and used. Thatās why you bought it for cheap.
I highly doubt a used car is better than my Ltd 4Runner fully customized for 75K...which I sold a year ago. But okay šš½click to expand

I've had a V8 Land Cruiser, super powerful and fun to drive but the gas mileage sucked! And my work commute is 250 miles a week so trying to be practical...
Dodge uses an 8 speed transmission and cylinder cutouts over 55. On long hauls I average about 23 mpg. The AWD is flawless also. The SRT has a 392 which is peppy but the 6 cylinder has almost the power of a standard V8 by other manufacturers (I think it's like 265hp.) I went for the Durango over the Cherokee due to cargo space, that's really the only difference. And the Durangos arent as common.
Definitely worth checking out.click to expand

If I could find one I would totally drive it, especially with the wood grain side panels, sexy! Then people might get the f* $ % out of my way!!

Losten we both are from the same area. Subarus are great imo. They are reliable, can handle all weather conditions.
My bf drives an impreza. Its sleek. Handles in the snow. He drives to the city from smithtown everyday. Smooth ride.

My lease just ended too!
I ended up leasing a 2019 Kia Sportage LX
I needed something that could handle a lot of highway miles, decent mileage, tolerate bad weather, low maintenance and comfortable to drive.
I'm on the road a lot and will be for the next 2-3 years.
I told them after this lease is up, I will settle down a bit and be back to purchase a Mercedes M-Series....so when they detailed the Kia they put paper Mercedes floormats inside šš¤£šš¤£

VW makes a nice product, but heard they are discontinuing the Beetle? Besides, I need something good for the snow...
By the way, Michigan has the worst DOT ever!!
With all the news I read. All car companies are forcefully going electric in the new future. So its possible the beetle is being discontinued.
If you haven't seen it already GM plans to close a lot of our plants here in my state in 2019, discontinuing some cars in order to go more electric/SUV. One being the Chevy Volt (Plug in hybrid) that makes 0 sense to me at all.
Never been in one but really want one.click to expand

Subaru. All wheel drive comes standard on every model, so they're good in inclement weather.
I got a Legacy in March and have enjoyed it so far.

I'd ride a horse if I could so a bit of a rougher ride in my Jeep doesn't bother me one bit. I don't care that they are everywhere because I live off road and need it for real
Do you do the "Jeep wave"? =P
People literately just wave at each other when they pass on the road because they both own a Jeep I guess?
Someone told me at work and did it while I was riding with them. I thought he was bs'ing until I looked it up.
Its 100 percent real.

They are sweet, would be great for off roading at the beach and then hosing it clean. The Rubicons have that feature too but they ride rough..
FJ cruisers require premium fuel which costs more so any mpg is offset by fuel costs.click to expand

It is. I wasn't a fan of them but test drove them and actually liked it. It's a 4 banger but it gets up and goes and they have other models....does pretty good in the snow and ice..of course I don't get nearly as much as where you live. Plenty of room, cheap on insurance as they consider them a wagon, and I go like 2 weeks or more before I have to fill it up. Plus the thing is supposed to be pretty damn safe...airbags everywhere in it lol.
Side note...if you do happen to get one...make sure they throw in or get a spare tire...I was shocked it didn't come with one but they gave me a air compressor lol.click to expand

Foreplay with a Cap is ā the equivalent of chewing tinfoil the same day you get fillings repaired.
You CAN do it...but do you really want to? Nah
