OT: New car

Well, my '05 Corolla was having lots of little issues and then the tranny was starting to go. Apparently the '03-08 had bad bearings that would wear out prematurely and take out the whole tranny. Thought about getting it rebuilt, but I'd had so many problems with this car, I just gave up and bought a 2012 Suzuki SX4 AWD yesterday. I'd been looking at these particular units for the last couple years and thought that if/when the Corolla bites it, that'd be one of the 3 cars I'd like. Found them for a good price in Winnipeg and got it.
Pics are coming.

Had it in my old Aerostar and loved it. Living this far out of town and putting as many miles on the road as I do in all weather, I needed something that will get me to work regardless of the conditions and still get good mileage.
