Message: [QUOTE="Dream Jobbed 2.0, post: 2741513, member: 7159"] Rather than start the millionth car shopping thread, I figured I’d bump a year old thread instead. I low key look around at cars on the internet almost as much I waste time here (almost). Fairly out of the blue, my wife said “we should start looking at new cars.” Having the go ahead on this was almost as good as if she had said “let’s have a 3way, you can pick any of my friends you want.” Our cars: I drive a 2015 Honda Fit with about 4K (4K owed vs 8k value)of trade equity and she has a 2014 Subaru Legacy with about 9k of trade equity (2k owed vs 11k value). You may be saying: “you’re almost done paying off two cars that’ll drive forever! Are you crazy!?” I mean, kinda? But, we’ll be toting around a baby within the next year or so and we don’t want to have to start paying to fix things that start to crop up as these cars age. I don’t have a problem with leasing a new car every threes with a low payment. She has her eye on a Mazda CX-5 and says it only makes sense for one of us to get an SUV. I’m not a fan of sedans and want something bigger than the small hatchback I’ve been driving. I really like the new Civic hatches but in all reality it’s not much of a change from what I have now and I wanna get AWD anyways. Naturally that means a look into a Subaru but I feel like if I’m gonna do that I should just keep her car but it has more value in a trade. Long story short, to my surprise, I discovered VW makes a Golf Alltrack wagon with standard AWD/leather and a tons of bells and whistles that can be had for ~24k. I’ve been looking at small suvs (in fairness this is a wagon) forever and just now saw this tonight. I feel like VWs are a total crapshoot and will either last forever or be in and out of the shop. Judging by reviews and what you can see online it’s much more upscale and aesthetically pleasing than an Outback. Anyone with experience with VW AWD? Is it crazy for a 30 yr old man with no kids (yet) to drive a wagon? [/QUOTE]
