| 119317 | 4112 | help picking a new surf vehic | 1 | cuda | Aug 4, 2017 | 2017-08-04T16:59:22-0400 | my Vanagon was T-boned a few months back by a distracted phonebot who ran a red. no serious damage other than destroying my classic dub. now after months of back and forth with insurance co's I finally got a proper settlement and shopping for a replacement. as much a i would like to get another of the same (subaru powered Vanagon) I leaning more toward a more contemporary option. I havent entirely ruled out the Vanagon but here are the practical choices that I'm considering Suby Outback - this would be my 4th - great cars just leaning toward something different. Ford Flex - like it, great stlying and lots of interior space. but its a Ford and the mpg is <20 Ford Transit Wagon - like it, good mpg might be a tad cramped for second row passengers and yeah its a Ford. My Ranger was theshit but know Ford can be hit or miss Nissan Quest - at the moment 1st choice (2013-16) under valued, v.g. mpg all rear seat drop and good comfy interior- not sure about reliability havent had a Nissan hardbody seemed bomb proof so yeah anyone got an opinion - its got to be able to deal with NE winters |
