I'm looking for a new vehicle in the mid 20k range. I've decided that my main selling points are that it be awd/4wd and quick.
My two choices so far are the 2006 WRX
pros - new 2.5 liter engine, turbo, 0-60 in the 5's, awd, sporty, funnnnn to drive
cons - limited to roof rack, I'm scared of lifting my 43lbs ASX and dragging it across the door or something, tiny trunk
Does this car look too juvenile (Im 24.)
05/06 Xterra
pros - Spacious, can use my hitchmount sportworks rack, 4wd, looks mean!, new 264hp engine (haven't test driven this yet, does anyone have any experience with one? How quick is it? I'm not expecting anything near the WRX but it seems as if its being marketed as being fast for an suv,) can shove my dog in the back
cons - gas mileage, maybe not sporty enough, on the larger side.
I dont plan on doing any of that super crazy off roading but I do venture up into the mountains on the logging roads etc, is this vehicle overkill?
Please sell me or help me decide against either one of these vehicles. Thanks!
