In the market for a new car. Looking for some outside opinions. 25 grand limit and keep skiing in mind (space for equipment, as well as something that will handle in the snow)
rav 4's r pretty sick for skiing in my opinion... 2 wheel drive but can switch over to 4 wheel in shift of the stick seats fold down, and the thing is just crying for a thule... gets about 27 mpg when your not in a city...
but then you could get a subaru
In all seriousness you can buy a 4 foor wrangler unlimited for that price new or even a used one and jack it up- great car, can go pretty much anywhere, convertible, - drawbacks are they are slow, have horrible fuel milage etc
JEEP Wrangler... I'm pretty sure you can get jeep thule racks, plus they handle wicked good, so you can pull some doughnuts in the parking lot upon arrival.
