Well it looks like I am most likely going to be moving to Austin, TX unless some unforseen circumstances arise. My current ride, while reliable, is not really suited for Austin, TX summers. I am driving a 2002 Ford Ranger XL, 4-cyl, man trans and NO AIR! Probably the most short sighted purchase I have ever made because it has no options and is the truck that nobody wants...even me! I can either keep it or cut my losses and trade it in on something nicer that I would be happy to keep for a long time...I am pretty much thinking of trading it in while I am still up north and buying something new.
Cost will be about 25K
I have a pretty broad list of vehicles that I am considering with one of the frontrunners being the Subaru Legacy GT (turbo 2.5, manual). I want at least 200 hp and would prefer a manual tranny. Four doors is a plus as well since kids are only about 2 years away. Any other suggestions from you guys? I don't think I want to get an SUV or another truck right now. Thanks!
