Made one of these a month or 2 ago and got nowhere so here we go

Will be looking to get this car by the end of February (so I got some time to look around)
Needs to be either AWD or RWD, preferably AWD
Either a fairly large car or suv, I'm not gettin some hatchback either. Truck would be o.k. but not prefered
I'll be 16 and it'll be a first car so insurance IS an issue
Over 20MPG is prefered but I want something fun to drive, no damn ecoboxes
A sound upgrade will be installed

but I also need room for a hockey bag (hence the big car or SUV)
Something reliable of course

And the most important part, the price range
Depends on the ACT (whoda thunk it)
A score of 30 or better = $15,000 price range

below that and its around $6,000 maybe a little less (unspecified basicaly)

Gimme your best shot

Yup Jeeps always been an option, what years you guys like better? 95-99 or 01-03? Heard only bad things bout the 2000's

I am a fan of clutchless manuels though

not a very widespread option though

regarding jeeps, the Grand cherokees are really nice for a semi luxury car. heated seats leather all that stuff. I myself am a fan of the late 90's style or the ZJs. nothing wrong with the 2000's though, WJs. only model to avoid would be the 99 year as they had some tranny / first year issues with them. Plus i wanted the 5.2 over the 4.7 lol. Average about 20mpg on the state and the limited is an AWD vehicle.

Hmm what about a Diesel Liberty?
