Sturg1647545502 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 So i'm looking for a DD car thats AWD. Subaru is on the top of my list. Hatchback/wagon is incredibly practical, i like the interior, handling, motor and gadgets. Plus i've owned an sti in the past. But finding a newer used wrx in good condition for less than what they paid new for it is hard. maybe i'm looking in the wrong places... but im also looking at the s60r cts 4 and pretty much any used audi. i like the evo, but as a DD the wrxs' hatch takes the cake (unless it's a stupid low price and not beat to mexico and back) I'm the least familar with the S60r and cts4. I have yet to do a test drive in either. I know there have been a rash of "tell me what to buy" threads but whats your 2 cents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 i think the 3.6L in the cts4 has been determined to be a huge piece of shit. unless you are talking about another motor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewtoys Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 How much are you looking to spend? I wouldn't suggest a EVO for a daily. Been driving mine or like 6 months as a daily and after a good month or two it starts to wear thin. Just bought a new FIAT for a daily. Saab 92x and save some cash ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 The 9-2X is essentially a WRX wagon with SAAB stuff on it. If you look under the hood you will find the subaru 2.0L flat four. They are CLASSY, love the AERO model. Only thing with SAAB right now is finding some parts if things break. For the most part it's ok, but some things can be a strain.

Not Brian Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 S60R's are sick but good luck finding one for a reasonable price in good condition and low miles. They were my primary target for three months and I never found on worth buying. Check http://www.swedespeed.com for private sales, you'll find the best deals there.

I would assume there are not that many out there and even less in good shape at a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 V70R and XC70 both wagons AWD. V70Rs are a bit harder to find than the S60Rs, but not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 whys that? Comfortable, fun, and if they're anything like my S70 and parents' XC70, very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff1647545513 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 My cousin just got a XC70 for his fiance and she loves it. I think they found it with like 45k for $8grand. I'm just not a fan of most wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 My buddy drove me to Dayton in his g35x. Solid little car. They have a peaky 300hp and if you're gonna mod it you'll be forever disappoint but stock they're reliable and fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 whys that? I speak Alex: he means, of the ones listed, he would take the Volvo not "take it off the list". I would concur, I like my wife's C70 T 5 far more than I want to admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
