So I'm considering a new car and I don't even know where to start...so I came to you guys!
My current car is a 2007 Honda Civic. It was driveway bound for most of graduate school, so it only has 59,000 miles on it. I love it; it's a great car. However, it's 2 wheel drive, and I think I'm going to want AWD in Michigan. I'm also thinking that I may want something with a bit more cargo room if I'm planning on doing outdoors stuff (skiing and eventually kayaking etc).
I will probably end up buying something new. First priorities are winter driving, mileage, and reliability. Second is probably space and other features. If I can wait for the 2016's, I probably will because I am very interested in Apple CarPlay support - integration would be amazing, and it sounds like it will be widely adopted for the 2016 models (along with Android's version).
All that said - I don't even know where to start. I've always been a compact guy, but I'm thinking a compact or midsize SUV might be the way to go? I'm not sure about make's - I've always had Honda's, but would something like a Subaru be better?
This is really early in my process, but I guess I'm just looking for tips or suggestions to get me started....Anyone have thoughts?
