What Car Do You Drive? (16 Viewers)

First time I took my new car out before beefing it up a little I took it up a very steep and rough road into the mountains with some pretty heavy cross ditching. Came down one of them just a wee bit too quickly and managed to bend the rad support up which caused the hood latch to be pushed up by a good 3/8”.

They drive real life monster trucks.
I drove a regular sort of jeep there. Don't even remember the brand. But I do know I could drive it through very deep water, you could cross rivers in it. I have to say it was pretty daunting at first.

It is downright infuriating.
I honestly don't understand why they get it. Because if you want something obnoxious that actually drives okay, you could get a Defender. Maybe it's slightly worse off road, but no one is off roading here. I guess the Defender is not expensive enough or something.

If you are looking for new or relatively new and still reasonable fuel economy, the Toyota RAV4 Trail or the Subaru Forester/Outback Wilderness editions are your best bet imo. I don’t have experience with it myself, but I’ve also heard good things about the Mazda CX-50 Meridian.

I haven’t. Sounds pretty funny. I have a couple friends who have heavily-modded Tacomas for overlanding, snorkels and everything for river crossings. It’s a strange experience to cross deep water in a vehicle for sure

Driving there is great fun, because you get to drive not just through rivers but through vulcanic areas too. I can only describe it as driving and drifting in an ash desert really.
But it's pretty much my only off road experience. I don't think many Europeans ever do it.

to be fair the Bronco sport is not a bronco, it’s a ford escape with a different body on it.

You could probably get around with an awd 3 series if that’s all you need it for.
But the extra height will be nice for snow, I prefer driving the cx-30 on snow compared to my 330 because it eats up the snow and ice a lot smoother.
Just gotta decide whether you want something nimble or something big and comfy. There’s a lot of options out there.

In wintery conditions, more important than an AWD system, are snow tires. In fact nowadays you can buy all season “snow rated” tires which you can drive all year round.
AFAIK, a RWD car with snow tires (or all season snow rated tires), has better traction than an AWD with regular tires.
Of get an AWD with snow tires.
