From 1995 until I retired in 2016 I commuted 60 miles one way daily to Utica. As a result my cars were always something reliable that got good gas mileage. I owned a 2002 and a 2007 Civic that had 117,000 and 183,000 miles respectively when I got rid of them. My current car is a 2012 Cruze with 137,000 miles. I am going to replace it in a couple of months and have pretty much decided on a Mazda CX-5. Since I have always gone bare bones with my cars (at least since 95) I am leaning toward getting the Grand Touring Reserve trim level to splurge a little. That’s the lowest level that offers the 2.4 liter turbo four. My wife drives a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek, orange of course! BTW, my Cruze has been great in snow even with all season tires. I never plowed through 6 inches of unplowed snow but it is a tank traveling the thruway.
