I was asked the other day "what vehicle can I get and use today that would be good for economic SHTF or just to G.O.O.D. or just as a daily driver to get home ?" I don't believe they are interested in an "EMP proof" vehicle as it needs to be reliable without constant fixin' up every weekend.
Now, let me give you some insight into this persons travel pattern. They drive about 100 miles per day, about 80% highway and 20% city. Needs dependable vehicle that would get decent mpg. The spouse has a newer (2009) full-sized P/U and puts about 20 miles per day on that. Currently has a 2003 vehicle that gets probably 30mpg and has about 178,000 miles. They told me they wanted to look at options now, because they don't know how much longer that vehicle has. It's not having problems that I'm aware of, but it sounds like they are just thinking ahead just in case.
Ideas that I came up with:
Honda Element AWD
Subaru Outback AWD
Toyota Matrix AWD
Is there any others that I should let them know about?
