Get used. Non turbo mazda skyactive but turbos are good too, older mazda/Ford focus avioding auto trans. non turbo honda (turbo gas has fuel dilution problems), can't go wrong with a k20/k24 Honda, but the Trans are weak and requires 40k fluid changes. Toyotas. VW with the gen3 2.0l engines, but the dsg needs 40k fluid changes. Old GM with the 3800. Ford 4.6l engines are good too-crown vic or mustang. Smaller and lighter vehicles always last longer cuz easier on wear parts like suspension. AWD 4WD needs more maintenance and tires are recommend to be changed at the same time and snow tires perform better than AWD with all weather tires anyways-- I use michelin crossclimate 2 tires all year round and they are create in the snow. Wagons and hatchbacks are superior :).
