I know this in no way belongs in this forum but I respect you guys opinions a lot so I figured why not ask.
This isnt going to happen for at least a year since I am still in school, but I like to go hiking/mountian biking so I need an suv or a light truck since my little hatchback isnt the best thing to take off road. I have 2 options, 1 is get just an older cheap suv like an older jeep wrangler and option 2 is trading in the ep3 and getting a new/newer nicer suv. I dont know if i can trade in my car because I love it waaaaay too much. I have been thinking about getting something along the lines of an element because for some odd reason I like the way they look and they get good gas mileage. Any suggestions on what direction to go? It needs to be 4x4 and it doesnt need to be powerful, gas mileage to me is more important than raw power for this thing. For an older car id say I will seek out something at most about $7000, if I trade in my car I would be looking at around $20,000, more wouldnt be that big of a deal. Sooooo...gimme some thoughts.
