I put 20k+ on my car every year I've lived in the Merrimack Valley. When I lived in New Haven, I drove much less. 10k max. Lifestyles are very regional.

Yeah, outside of a three year stint in the Midwest/Atlantic, I've lived in VT, NH or ME exclusively since 1995. Going to see a friend up here is often a 20 mile drive, not 4-5 like southern New England. My 2013 model year Mazda I bought in July of 2012 just rolled past 100k miles last week.

Venza has been discontinued so resale could b an issue
I put just as many miles as you it looks. Any thoughts on a diesel? I have been looking at them online the last few days?
Really happy with my sportwagon. But for now if you want AWD you'll have to jump up to Audi or BMW.

I'm late to this post, so sorry if this is a repeat, but does anyone know how the Yokohama Geolandar G91's handle in Snow? They are original equipment on the 2015 Forester.

Everything looks like it. My Vermont next-door-neighbors have a 2015 the identical color. Fortunately, we have different ski boxes.

That's what I was afraid of. Anyone have suggestions for a good all season tire that's good in snow?
why not hold onto the Geolanders for summer and get some snows for winter?
Though these are supposedly the best option for that:

I've thought these have been pretty good. I've had them on 2 different vehicles.

I have Hankooks all weather on my Escape and used them last year in all that snow. not too bad. Not as good as the winter tires I had on my subie. I was bummed my winter tires wouldn't fit the new ride but I am looking for a winter setup for the Escape.

The placement of time and temp is horrible
Don't look like they much in the way of siping.

Anyone have a driver's side tail light gremlin? Brake light has now been changed 3 times in a year. A friend of ours up the street has the same issue. 2008 Outback and Legacy.
