We have a Honda CRV and it’s great in the snow. Got me through 2015. We got it new that year, but I’m sure you can find something fairly new at that price, if you’re not caring too much about a big vehicle. Also as others said, look into leasing. I’m not sure how many miles you drive a day, but easy guessing will have you figure out if leasing is good for you. I second the CRV. Heck, at 25k, get a brand new one with low interest.

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I’ve had a 2001 Cherokee for years now and it’s always great in the snow. Of course, I’ve also replaced the starter, the radiator, and the exhaust system in the time I’ve had it lol. Like others have said, a lease is probably best to look into if the used vehicles you’re looking at are still prohibitively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife bought hers last Jan. A solid cheap awd car with alot of features for the money and gets 36+ highway mpg. Subarus are also rated number 1 I believe in resale value.

powderfreak Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Even BTV putting up -SN obs this afternoon... it feels like it should be after Thanksgiving. Visibility is real high but still getting pure flakes at 300ft elevation at max heating on 10/21 is impressive. With 3 days this week of flakes in the air even in the valleys, I almost get the feeling like it'll be weeks until we see an air mass like these again.

I'm a born and raised suburban kid, ha, so I enjoy having civilization comforts so close by. As I've said before, where I am right now I can easily walk to everything from breweries like the Alchemist to a dozen restaurants and the closest to me happens to be a hibachi japanese steakhouse like you'd find in any suburb, usually sitting next to the Olive Garden or something. And it's an 8 minute drive to 1,500ft in the Stowe parking lots. You definitely live in a Sweet Spot that's for sure. Like all the pictures of your pup still remember him bounding in the snow when you first got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had major head gasket issues and needed the expensive timing belt maintenance done. The head gasket issue was resolved and they went over to timing chains that never need replacement on the engines around 2011-2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a guarantee it's going to be cold and miserable all winter since she needs to go out so frequently. And on that note, posted picture on NNE thread but the coating today resulted in icicles off my roof! Seems crazy for daytime in October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 This is crazy for how cold it is. Snow has started accumulating even down in town despite the light rates. Fake snow season has started too as this snow growth is incredible, light fluffy dendrites floating down. It looks mundane on radar but its keeping the persistent snow going downwind of Mansfield (county line) on RT 108 here. Cold air, moisture meet mountains.

It seems more widespread than regular upslope. We were in the NEK this afternoon for a birthday party of a school friend of my son and it was light snow the whole way, although not sticking down in the lower valleys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately our mechanic has seen as late as 2014 models with head gasket issues. If I could find a one owner, 5 speed, turbo Outback I would be interested.
