Hello,
DH, DD and I are moving to New Zealand from the US in two weeks. We have the big pieces sorted out (house sold! jobs/visas/bank accounts lined up!) and will be selling our beloved Subaru Impreza right before we leave.
We bought the Subaru brand new in 2012, which we now regret (discovered MMM a few years later). Not wanting to repeat that mistake, we will definitely be buying a used car when we arrive in New Zealand.
I am not great with cars, and DH has been a Subaru fan for so long that he's not done much research on other makes. We would love you advice on what models to keep an eye out for when we start car-hunting in a few weeks!
(For any Kiwis reading along, we'll be in Dunedin, and would be open to driving up to Christchurch if needed to get the right vehicle).
Priorities:
- good gas mileage/fuel economy
- reliable for its age
- ideally under $15,000 NZD (or even less would be great!)
Hope to hear from you.
