What SUV to Get?
So I got accepted to East Stroudsburg University next year and will be moving to some apartments in the Poconos.

... which now makes me want to get an SUV.

My Cougar has honestly been great to me, and this isn't a sure thing, but I'm looking at two narrowed down choices! If you have any others let me know!.

I have wanted a Dodge Durango way before I even got the Cougar. I actually had one all picked out. Perfect silver 5.2L w/ leather interior. I go back to the dealership to buy it... and they've sold it! I love the style and the interior. But the gas mileage is questionable.

The Nissan Xterra is a car that's started to win my heart as of recent. I like the interior of the 2004s and later - plus the outside looks rugged as hell to boot. It's a v6, but that also means that gas mileage will be improved. And considering my Cougar is running at about 20mpg () I can take a small hit.

Re: What SUV to Get?
If i was on the hunt for a suv i would be looking into a BMW x5. The used ones sell for not much more than Durangos and also have a v6 so better of fuel mileage. But that just my two cents.

First gen S10 Blazer Sport:


I'm getting about 18mpg, with the 4.3l V6. Shift on the fly 4x4. And you can usualy get them for less than $2000, which means you shouldn't have to sell the cougar to afford it. Case in point, mine costed me a whopping total of $930 to buy the truck, after tax, with a new windshield, and registration/emmission/safety.

That's what I had in college (although mine was charcoal and black) and I've really been missing it lately.
