Daily Drivers to look at for the wife.....

[CJREX]

that was where we started actually.....the plan the last couple years is to get a g8 gt. Now that the time is approaching though she wants front or 4 wheel drive for the winter. I agree....she drives 60ish miles each way to work and I already worry about her enough so I'd like to have her in the safest thing we can find that fits our needs.

You seriously need to look into the aforementioned Subaru.

I know you wanted to stay away from imports but honestly, the Scooby meets all your criteria, gets great gas mileage, and is built to higher quality than the other cars mentioned in this thread.

Drive an Outback 3.6R.

2012 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty MW3 edition then

I thought I read earlier in the thread something about a headlight issue with the Malibu's or maybe it was Impala's. I had to change out my low-beam on the passenger side on Thanksgiving. Hopefully this isn't a regular occurrence as the car is only a 2008.

03ish to 07s are common. Its more in the headlight wiring harness and you can only replace it with the entire lense assembly

Parts aren't more expensive than a Chevy and most are available at your local parts house.

Yep or the legacy, the 3.0 or 3.6r arent winning any hp competitions compared to some of the high output v6s on the market but they are very smooth and reliable and still have enough hp compared to the 3500lbs curb weight to pass people with ease.

I can't get used to the looks of those.... the only subaru I halfway care for is the wrx and even then I probably would never own one. I can ask her and see what she says but she's never even mentioned them so I would assume she's not a fan either.

[GTP231]

If she drives one I think she'll like it

Well the wrx is in your price range but I do not think it will be refined enough for a womans DD. The new impreza 4 cylinder gets 35mpg freeway with full time AWD but thats a 4 cylinder non-turbo which is pretty weak.

My gf's 10 Impreza isn't a total turd. Its no rocket but it feels semi peppy. My mom's 11 Lego feels the sameway.

[02ragtop t/a]

Like I said before, take a look at the '12 Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds. ( That's the four door model ) They get 20 mpg's on the highway, 4 wheel drive, and American made! I "built" my Jeep on the Jeep site ( Jeep.com ), a Sport S, and it Stickers at $32,080. That's with the soft top, 5 spd auto, basic tow package, Infinity speaker system w/ subwoofer, posi rear, connectivity pkg ( bluetooth, usb port), and the Blackout option (black side bars, taillight covers, and gas cap. That's a lot of stuff for 32K.

What about the new grand Cherokees they look sweet.

although that car is sweet......we don't fit the criteria for ownership. I believe you have to either weigh 450lb's or do a lot of drugs to own those because those are the only 2 types of people I see in those cars.

Then your dream vehicle can be attained with a very few visits to the nearest McDonalds.

Just say "Supersize McRib Combo please!"

Edit: Just don't forget the auto-reverse cassette player. That ride deserves nothing less.

Better....

An '81 Plymouth Reliant is what got me through college and 2 years of law school. It was an 85 h.p. beast with a bench seat and 4 speed.

fact: lawyers like coke I rest my case.

[pajeff02]

You got me there -- Dawn and I are actually both big fans of Coke... as in Coca-Cola.

me too.....I used to work for Coke at one time. I like a pepsi every now and then too but my main drink is sweet tea.....been drinking that since I was a kid. Southern sweet tea which means it has an assload of sugar in it.

[35th-ANV-SS]

Sweet tea is some good stuff.
