The chosen one!

As most of you know, I've been looking at and test driving some vehicles to find my new snazzy car (well...vehicle, not necessarily car).

And the moment has arrived. Yes, I have chosen!

Any guesses?

Here's one hint...

It's a Subaru!

The Subaru Forester is the winner! Yay!

And I got to pick it up last night ^^

So pretty :3

When I picked it up, it only had 11 km on it. Seems so crazy to me!

This is where I was sitting at today...

I've driven basically any old vehicle  my whole life, so it's very exciting to have my own (with Scott) brand new vehicle!

As I drove away from the dealership, I was scared...

What if someone crashes into my beautiful new car?!

It's so perfect right now!

When it came down to making a decision, they're all beautiful cars. I looked into safety ratings and reviews and in the end, Subaru was just my favourite! It had better visibility than most of the others, pretty reliable reviews, and good safety ratings. 

Plus, I just love it!

Happy Trudy :D!

Be excited for me!

Love you too.

PS. I'm not a huge fan of the new car smell....but I love it anyways, because I have a new car? :D

Ouuu...Subaru!

You remember how we're looking at vehicles??

Well yesterday, not only did I get to see Whitney (I've missed you!), but she also came with me on my final test drive of...Subaru's!

I drove an Impreza, Crosstrek, Outback, and 2 Foresters. 

Why 2 Foresters?

Well because one was Turbo, meaning it was ridiculously speedy and awesome (and expensive...).

I liked the Impreza, but it was a little small for my likings. 

Crosstrek was better. 

Outback...not a big fan. 

Forester...was fun :) Nice and spacious. 

I really enjoyed it!

Anyone know much about Subaru? 

They seem like a good, reliable brand that holds their value well. 

I appreciate all the advice and opinions I've gotten so far...

Anyone have anything else to add?

Any more thoughts?

Thanks again!

Love you too.

P.S. I bathed my kittens today so now they smell like coconut delight and are extra soft and fluffy :3

Zoom zoom - Help me!

In my last post, I mentioned I've been test driving some vehicles...so I'll share more on that today!

At first, we were looking at used vehicles but with the way financing and rates and warranty are, it almost seems best to get brand new.
What's your opinion?

So far, I've mainly been testing out SUV's. I like being higher off the ground, I like the spaciousness, and I like the option to have AWD or 4WD.

They're all fairly comparable...but I will share a few things about them and what I've driven so far.

Hyundai
Tucson: I liked how it was a nice compact SUV...but it felt very gutless.
Santa Fe: Very nice, was revamped and is now comparable to luxury vehicles. Bad blind spots. But powerful.

Dodge
Journey: Horrible...'nuff said.

Honda
CR-V: Quite nice with some cool features. Very safe...one of the highest safety ratings.

Mazda
CX5: Zoom zoom! Felt speedy. Very light. Has sensors on the mirror if someone is beside you. One of the only one's made in Japan.

Ford 
Escape: Wasn't a fan of the interior. Quite expensive for features that come standard in the others.

Chevrolet
Trax: Nice and small. Gutless.
Equinox: Powerful because there's a V6 option... but a little big.

Toyota
Matrix: Larger car. Was fun and compact but still prefer the space of an SUV. But little to no blind spots.
Rav 4: Not as bad blind spots as other SUVs. Nice interior. Fun ride.

Nissan
Rogue: Very similar to the Mazda...exterior and ride wise. Doesn't have the sensor on the mirrors like the Mazda...but has slightly bigger mirrors for more visibility.

One bad thing about these, is most of them are pretty bad for visibility...but you (or I, rather) would just have to rely on mirrors more.
And I am still wanting to test out a couple Subaru's.

Have you heard anything about these?
Any opinions/experiences would be appreciated :)

Love you too.
