Recommend me an inexpensive, reliable AWD vehicle

not really the same options. if anything, the 5 door hatch comparable is the convience package--22,895 Suzuki comes with steering wheel controls (i couldnt believe how much i like this option), leather wheel, 6 speed, trip computer, block heater, thicker tires, bigger alloys (I think Subaru...

Recommend me an inexpensive, reliable AWD vehicle

I'll chime in...I own a 2009 SX4 up here in Canada and have been nothing but pleased with the performance and handling of it. It is unstoppable in the snow because of the AWD but also the ability lock the differential. Subaru and most of the other cars you mentioned don't give you this option...

What are some games similar to Starcraft on Steam for <$20?

by far the best RTS ever to grace this earth is supreme commander (number 1...not 2). The multiplayer is fantastic, competitive and a close knit community. Check it out!

FJ Cruiser

Well I live up in Northern Ontario so a good 4 to 5 months we get pretty crappy winter weather so it'll be a good truck for that. Plus, I do some travelling and from the test drive, man the V6 engine is smooth. And I found the blind spots to be overstated, not bad at all, plus convex mirrors can...

FJ Cruiser

I am not too worried about this because 1) from what I have read this was a problem for the early 2007 models and have since been corrected and 2) I am not doing hardcore off-roading. From what I have read the FJ is built in the highest rated truck factory in the world Hino Motors. The people...

FJ Cruiser

Actually this is on my list for a test drive this weekend. Up here in Canada, it is about 5k more for the Laredo. The thing is with the Jeep is that in two years these won't be worth much compared to these FJ Cruisers so i'm a bit hesitant to drop 42k on a jeep, the fj is 37k up here. The thing...

FJ Cruiser

The 2010's come back with a rear view camera as well. What else don't you like about it? The cargo looks to be fine for my needs and I love the fact you sit up over other vehicles. Does yours have a roof rack? If so, do you have problems parking in certain parking lots, etc. After bought I...

FJ Cruiser

Can someone tell me about the FJ Cruiser? I'm looking to buy one in the near future for snow driving, mild to moderate off-roading and safety. I've read mostly positive reviews but wondering if anyone has first hand knowledge or has owned one of these trucks. I have test driven a 2010 and found...

Who buys Suzuki in the US and why?

I own a SX4 hatchback for the last year and I can say it is the best car I've driven in a while. Love the AWD (great up here in Canada), very tight handling, nice pep, and overall a really fun car to drive. Beats a Fit hands down...I did a lot of research before I bought and most magazines had...

City driving with clutch vs. city driving with automatic

Having driving a manual since high school, now in graduate school, it becomes tiresome and boring. Driving my integra in HS was fun, revving to redline and dropping the clutch, but since im driving an '88 Cavalier, it just is not fun to drive a 5 speed. I've gotten to a point where I don't...

Cars from 1980

I have first hand experience driving a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon. It was my first car and it was a hell of a beast. No one in the school parking lot had ANYTHING like it, not even close. It was an auto V8, it wasn't fast but it sounded nice, some muscle behind it. Built like a...

Future hardware

The computer industry is a weird business. You start with PCI video...and go AGP then back to PCI-E...why not just AGP-E??? Also..you would think after all these years a PPU would be introduced (Physics PU). The way technology goes is so behind, why do extra steps when its not needed....like PCI-E
