    The onlything I do that I would consider off-roading is going down washed out dirt roads during the middle of winter while pheasant hunting.

      Well, I've narrowed it down to 3.

      I was wondering what you think I should offer these people, or your opinions on the cars. 1st on my list, is the one I think I like the most.

      2000 Bonneville SSSEi
      Pro's: Pretty fast, really good looking, I like the wheels, most comfort, HUD, Decent MPG, most room.

      Cons: somewhat high mileage, most expensive, leather (not the best for DD IMO)
      Bonneville

      2nd.
      2000 Subaru Impreza AWD 2.5RS
      Pro's: Looks good, best MPG of the 3, AWD, would be able to go hunting in, handles the best, would be the safest in the snow.

      Cons: Slowest of the 3 cars, automatic subaru, kinda pricey, somehwhat high miles.
      Subaru

      3rd
      1998 Buick Regal GS.
      Pro's: Low mileage, low price, good gas mileage, fastest of the 3, somehwhat roomy, comfortable.
      Cons: Kinda Bland. Not nearly as nice as the bonneville.

      Regal GS

          The only beef with the subaru, is it's such a small car, with just as many miles, it's slower, not as comfortable or as nice inside, bu it cost just as much. Thats why it would be so hard to buy it.

          I do like the look and the AWD though.

            I doubt you are going to have any problems in the winter driving a big GM FWD car. I know I haven't for the past 4 winters.

            At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

              I hope so. I'm just worried about the mileage on the SSEi. I think it looks great.

                  I've heard that fro a lot of people. I've just been told, however, that the transmission attatched to it isn't the best.

                    Subaru still gets my vote....AWD, Decent MPG, more "sporty" IMO, and more available mods should you get the bug....also, I would be happy to sell you a bunch of OEM turbo parts from a WRX.

                          I don't know. I'm kinda of trying to just leave the car the way it is for a little bit at least. I don't want to have 2 cars in the garage with zero running.

                            Id go with wut he said. Get the subaru and put an exhaust and a turbo on it and u got a great car.

                              nice thing though, for like $300 you can have the "option" to upgrade down the road for dirt cheap....cheapest bolt-on kit you'll come across I'm willing to wager.

                                BAH! There are so many decisions!

                                I've even been looking a Cadillac STS's.

                                    Yeah, I've looked at both, but finding either in my price range is hard.

                                      If you're looking for a car like a Subaru that you want to take off road, a buddy of mine is selling his.......

                                      Yes, it goes where most of the Jeeps go at Gilbert....

                                      Actually, tjamz needs to buy that one and go wheeling with it. He'll forget all about his WRX :lol:
