We are looking to purchase a new vehicle. My SVT is paid off and we'll keep that. The requirements for the new vehicle would be something she can drive on a daily basis and I can use when I need it. I will need to be able to get to the mountains for snowboarding and mountain biking. We were looking at some of the larger SUVs, but they are all so damn expensive and use so much gas. I'm thinking about the Subaru Forester XT (turbo, 5.3s 0-60, 13.8 1/4 mile). It should give us what we need plus still be fun and fast. What do you guys think? Any other vehicles you would recommend? Thanks.
1998 silver SVT E1, #6226 of 6535 (SOLD 12/24/04)
2004 Titan LE 4x4 crew cab
To haul:
2004 Yamaha WR250
2005 Kawasaki SX-R 800
2006 Yamaha Raptor 700 EFI

I'd vote for a Subaru of some kind. Either and Outback or Forrester. Subys seem to go forever
