Hello, I am a college student in Rochester, NY and I am looking to buy a car. Originally, I was looking at sudans and I had really liked the Toyota Corolla. However, it is 2-wheel FWD and I don’t think it will last well in the snow we get up here. Instead, I started to look at some Subarus since they are AWD and are reliable (or so I’ve been told).

Here’s basically what I’m looking for:

Reliable

Not too expensive

Has a good amount of space to move my stuff to/from college

Probably not an SVU, I don’t really want something that big

Able to handle well in the snow

Comfortable to drive, it’s a 6 hour drive home

What cars would you suggest I take a look at?

Thanks, Joel
