I just wanted to get everybodys opinion on a good car for climbing. I currently have a 1996 toyota land cruiser, but it polutes way to much and uses to much gas plus it has a lot of miles. I am looking for a car only, not a wagon, that has sufficient room for 3 packs, 3 sleeping bags and 3 people, i want the car to be fun and fast AWD or good snow handling is a must. So far i am thinking a subaru WRX, any other ideas?
EDIT: Price has to be under 17K, no RX hyrbrids, hummers or school buses please.
