My wife and I are looking at replacing our current 2008 Chevy HHR with something new. While we love the HHR, it's lack of 4WD is becoming an issue with the location of our new house
I'm hoping to get some insight and advice from the posters about what I should and shouldn't be looking at. Here's what we're looking for:
1. An American vehicle. Preferably both an American Company AND American assembly/parts as much as possible.
2. A small to mid-sized SUV or Crossover vehicle with 4WD in the $25-30K range. Will not be used off-road or for towing.
3. Capability over Luxury. Heated side mirrors are preferable to heated seats. Roof rack is preferred to a sun roof.
4. Gas mileage is more important than power but it has to have enough engine to get out of its own way.
So far, we're just doing research. Won't be buying until probably April. Any constructuve input is greatly appreciated. Please don't suggest vehicles from foreign companies, regardless of where their cars are assembled. They are not being considered.
