You've never gotten into a car where the outside temp on the bank reads -15.
cause if you did.....

When it reads -30, they make life just a little less hellish.

Trying to remember what this thread was originally about......OH yeah! new cars are dumb.

Well since my 2010 DD is basically my rolling office for work (25k+mi. yr.) I'm in the market for a new one every 7-10rs.
Given the amount of driving I do here in the Northeast it's usually something on the smaller side awd,
but trying to find something without a CVT is getting next to impossible. There's just something about a belt driven transmission that doesn't make me think longevity. Although the technology isn't new ,it seems mfgs. have varying degrees of success with it.
Anyways probably going Mazda CX5, zoo-zoom...lol

Grab an older Infiniti G sedan. They are pretty cheap (relatively speaking) out of warranty. Rock solid AWD for driving in the snow (mine was a tank that went everywhere and never got stuck) and mostly a RWD-biased system so fun to drive with 330HP.

I got nearly 180K miles out of mine before the driveshaft fell off the car at 80MPH.

CX-5s are the among CUVs. That's not saying much, but they are.
