06 Nissan Xterra for me
06 Subaru Legacy sedan for wife

Just put a kayak on top of my X and drove up to Rangeley, ME for the weekend. About $110 in gas later...

Also GSS, if you go from a Sube to an Audi, don't expect reliability to go up. I know Audi owners won't want to hear this, but they can probably afford the repairs more than I...

+1

reliability and maintenance cost on ALL European makes suck IMHO. I know plenty of people have had decent luck with VW's. I personally haven't, my gf did not and I also did not with my Audi. I'll be sticking to Asian brands from now on. Yes, most euro cars drive phenomenally well, but in my world, reliability and low maintenance costs are king, so it just isn't worth it.

I wouldn't buy an Audi for reliability...I just want one and they look nice..

Me-N/A

How do you like the N/A? I hear the mileage is great, but there's not much cargo space.

1998 Subaru Legacy Outback
2001 Toyota Highlander

Plan to get another car to replace the Subaru within a year or so...gas prices have made me think a bit about getting another Subaru or going with a 2WD vehicle with better gas mileage.

That's all true, but I have a trailer and a roof rack so it works out in my favor.

If I ever buy a Ford again somebody shoot me ..

Again???? I'd be more concerned as to why you did it in the first place.

In Fords' defense, I had 2 Mountaineers and they were virtually problem free, maybe 1- 2 recalls between the 2 of em

I know plenty of peeps that have good luck with Ford, just not a big fan. Fit and finish seems to be lacking IMO

If gas wasn't an issue, I'd own an Explorer again in a heartbeat. Easily the best performing and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I put 198K miles on it and outside of basic maintenance maybe had to sink 2 grand in repairs into it over it's lifetime. That SUV was beat to hell and kept on truckin like a champ until the end.

I shoulda mentioned I only held em for the 1st 3 years, so that may not be a good metric for reliability.
