I generally like Subarus. I currently own a 2003 Subaru Forester, which unfortunately has been highly problematic and costly. I have also liked Fords in the past, but my mom owns a 2008 Ford Explorer that has also been very problematic and costly. This makes me nervous to purchase another Subaru or Ford…
I'm looking to spend between 12,000 and 14,000 on the car, and it needs to have AWD or 4WD capabilities. So far, this is my list:
Toyota RAV4 - 2011 and newer
Ford Fusion - 2012 and newer (preferred 2016)
Subaru Impreza - 2011 and newer
Has anyone owned these cars before? If so, did certain make years give anyone severe problems? Also, does anyone have any further recommendations?
