Winter is approaching quickly and I would really like something with all-wheel-drive or 4-wheel-drive. I would prefer something on the smaller side with decent gas mileage. I have a max budget of $20,000 (before taxes and fees). This is not an easy segment to shop in, but automakers like Honda and Mazda are realizing that folks want affordable AWD compacts. However the HR-V and CX-3 won't be available for some time.

So if you are in need of something small and cheap that can get you through the winter right now, there are a few solid values. Before I go any further, I must disclose that having an AWD/4WD vehicle in the winter will not make you invincible because your traction is only as good as your tires. panel lift garage doors sydney pricesRegardless of your driven wheels, I strongly suggest investing in an extra set of wheels and tires that you can swap on when the temperature drops. roll up garage door cape townKeep in mind that "winter tires" are not just meant for the snow and ice, but their rubber compound is designed to grip better on colder surfaces even when dry. car window repair auckland

So know that you are going to get yourself a winter wheel/tire set, your AWD/4WD vechicle should do pretty well. Avoid Cheap Jeeps Like The Patriot And Compass Jeeps are rugged, off-road, 4 wheel-drive legends, right? mini 5 door hatch insurance groupCertain vehicles like the Wrangler and Cherokee have that reputation, but with a sub 20k budget your only choices are the Patriot and Compass. front door repair columbia scWhile you can get either one of these brand new well within your budget, neither car was Jeep's best effort in terms of making an affordable 4WD machine. upvc exterior doors brownBoth of them are due to be replaced by the upcoming Renegade, that should be a great mini off-road runabout. garage door sales kijiji

However, the Renegade is not due to hit showrooms until sometime early 2015. The Mitsubishi Lancer And Outlander Will Give You Almost An Evo If you fancy yourself a wannabe rally driver you are probably familiar with the legendary Lancer Evolution. Of course you could pick up a pre-owned Evo, but my guess is you want something with a warranty that hasn't been hooned to death. The good news is Mitsubishi has some affordable options in the way of the Evo's relatives. First up is the Lancer SE AWC. Many shoppers weren't even aware that the base Lancer sedan was available with a selectable all-wheel-drive system. Even though the MSRP is $21,805, if you shop carefully you find ones for under $18,000. Also available is the Lancer's much easier to find crossover cousin the Outlander Sport, that can be easily had for under $20k. Both Mitsus offer a decent amount of punch and are a solid value for the equipment and long warranty, but their antiquated CVT often ruins the fun. The Rogue Select And Juke Are Frumpy And Funky Nissans

The all new Nissan Rogue is a sharp looking car with some great features, it is a huge improvement over the previous generation. However, for some reason Nissan is keeping the old Rogue around and calling it the Rogue Select. It isn't bad little crossover, it's just not exiting. The good news is you can find numerous AWD examples well within your budget. Now if you wanted something a little different and fun to toss around, the Nissan Juke with it's torque vectoring AWD system make this hatch/crossover thingy an enjoyable commuter. The downside to the Juke's punchy turbo motor is the gas mileage is not great considering it's size. The Subaru Impreza, Granola Is Good For You When most folks think of the best car brand for winter driving, Subaru immediately comes to mind. Subaru's combination of horizontally opposed engines and symmetrical AWD systems make them sturdy and stable when the white stuff covers the roadways. While most of Subaru's lineup is above the $20,000 threshold, you can pick up a minimally equipped Impreza sedan for just under $19,000.

The Impreza also gets the best gas mileage of the bunch at 34mpg if you can tolerate the CVT, however, if you prefer to row-your-own, a 5 speed manual is available. Of course, with any of these selections you want to take a broader look at your car buying needs and not just focus on one thing. Also keep in mind that even with a good set of snow tires and all-wheel-drive, sometimes it's best just to stay home. and be sure to include your Kinja handle. Although it is larger and safer than past models wearing the CJ and Wrangler nameplate, the 2013 Jeep Wrangler is still true to its heritage as America's best-loved off-road escape artist. A wide model range spans the spectrum, from the basic 2-door soft-top Sport, to the maxed-out trail-blazing Rubicon. The Wrangler Unlimited includes a stretched wheelbase and four doors, as well as an available removable hard top with configurable roof panels. Powered by Chrysler's new Pentastar V6, the Jeep Wrangler for 2013 delivers an excellent balance of power and fuel economy;

the Wrangler is also one of the last off-road vehicles still to offer a manual transmission. Whether your outdoor passions rest at the top of a mountain, near the ocean's surface, or someplace in between, the Wrangler can get you there without breaking a sweat. Open-air devotees will love the 360-degree view. The same suspension and wheel/tire combo that allows the Jeep Wrangler to venture over rough terrain also creates a rather rough and unsophisticated on-road driving experience. If your off-road needs are light-to-moderate, a Toyota 4Runner might make a better choice. Improvements for the 2013 Wrangler include new seats with larger side bolsters, additional interior lighting and an available Alpine speaker system. Changes to the soft top make it easier for one person to operate, and there is a new premium cloth option that is easier to clean and triple-layered for better sound deadening. What we like best about the Jeep Wrangler is that it still delivers the things that make off-roaders happy.

Among those attributes are separate body-and-frame construction, live axles front and...... rear and enough ground clearance to drive over a (large) sleeping dog without doing damage to dog or the Jeep. Despite the tall center of gravity, oversized tires and rudimentary suspension, Jeep engineers have done a remarkable job of taming the beast within, endowing this newest Wrangler SUV with precise steering and a suspension that keeps the tires in secure contact with the paved surfaces beneath it. Off-road, the 2013 Wrangler is everything you want in a 4WD trail rig, given its ability to poke along at a walking speed. Add real horsepower to the crawling, and favorable gearing for the hauling, and you arguably have the most competent Jeep Wrangler in the brand's 70-year history. Jeep's Pentastar V6 is the final piece in the Wrangler puzzle. With ample power, smooth operation and decidedly improved highway fuel economy, this engine suits the Wrangler like a well-worn glove. And, when equipped with the available 5-speed automatic, refinement goes up while losing very little – if any – capability or efficiency.

ELECTRONIC DISCONNECTING SWAY BAR When the off-road trail gets seriously treacherous, the Wrangler's front sway bar can be electronically disconnected, which allows greater wheel travel. Once back on paved roads, a push of a button reconnects the sway bar. Our test Wrangler, a Sahara Unlimited SUV trimmed in Black/Dark Saddle leather, was just this side of sumptuous. Lower in the food chain is the base Sport, whose cloth-covered seats can best be described as functional. And although the Wrangler Unlimited's folding rear seat creates a spacious – and flat – load surface, the headrests don't easily detach for folding, which necessitates moving the front seats as far forward as possible when you're in a hurry to increase cargo space. With each generation, the Jeep Wrangler engineering team increases the vehicle's size. That was never more evident than in the 2007 redesign, when the 2-door Wrangler grew and the 4-door Wrangler Unlimited was first introduced. In its Unlimited form, the Wrangler

SUV stretches almost 15 feet and weighs almost 4,500 pounds. Still, the 2013 Wrangler's off-road intentions remain clear, with minimal overhangs front and rear and the highly-familiar Jeep shape. The exterior design retains a greenhouse that provides excellent visibility of both the trail and adjacent scenery. New for 2013 is the Moab Special Edition that adds gloss black wheels, Trak-loc anti-spin and electronically-locking rear differential. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler SUV's 285 horsepower is among its most notable features, but with additional power comes the need for enhanced control. Jeep engineers have added a full menu of safety and security, including electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, Hill-start Assist and Trailer-sway Control. Add the aggressive 4WD technology on the off-road-oriented Rubicon, and the most difficult trails become almost laughably easy. The Wrangler's optional 5-speed automatic transmission provides the driver with more efficiency, better use of the new V6's torque curve and, with a lower 1st-gear ratio, better ability to crawl those rocks.

And Jeep is one of the few manufacturers providing you a choice of rear-end ratios (3.21, 3.73 or 4.10). That choice allows the owner to truly tailor the Wrangler to his or her specific driving needs. Comfort and convenience options include Bluetooth, navigation, Alpine speakers, leather trimmed seats and heated front seats. The 3.6-liter V6 in the 2013 Jeep Wrangler is truly a revelation. Featuring alloy construction, the 60-degree V6 is lighter and more compact than the previous 3.8-liter found in the 2011 Wrangler. And, with 285 horsepower, the perceived need for a V8 is all but eliminated. With that, we continue to wish that Jeep would make available the diesel sold in many markets outside of the U.S. The diesel's superior torque, along with an increase in fuel economy, would be all the new EPA regulations – and Jeep consumers – might ask for. 285 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm 260 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4,800 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/21 mpg (Wrangler), 16/20 mpg (Wrangler Unlimited, automatic), 16/21 mpg (Wrangler Unlimited, manual)
