2013 Ford Fusion vs Subaru Outback: Which is better on snow and more reliable?

2013 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD vs 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited AWD

Which is better for a 19 year old and can handle the intense Michigan winters? Both are fully loaded and have a little over 100k miles on them. Here are my top priorities, in order:

1. Reliability
2. Good on snow and ice (especially ice)
3. Low cost of ownership
4. Easy to drive for a new, young driver

Added (1). .Anyone wanna help me out?

I don't either are known for reliability.

And anything with 100k is going to be a risk.

Whatever you buy. There's always a high risk with ice… So make sure whatever you have its got winter tyres… And never rely on these as a guaranteed stop

  • What should I buy and why? 2013 ford fusion it 2013 civic coupe? I like the sporty edge of Both the coupe and fusion, but they're very different cars. I'm a male. Want gas mileage
  • 2015 ford fusion or 2015 toyota camry? Which is a better buy and more reliable? The problem is that i like the looks of the fusion better but in the same time i like the smooth ride of the camry! ( i never tried the fusion ride though! ) i'm confused.
  • Ford Focus, Mazda 3, Volkswagen Golf, or Subaru Outback? I just turned 16 and I want to buy my own car. First off should I buy New or Used? With the New cars, the safety features are better for a new driver like me. But Used cars will be cheaper. Second, which car? Ford Focus, Mazda 3, Volkswagen Golf, or Subaru Outback are the ones I have been looking at. Also, what specific trim and year is the best? I'm looking for an automatic that has good features throughout the entire car.
  • 2013 Ford Escape vs 2012 Subaru Outback? I suck at knowing much about cars. I take them in for oil changes, get wheels rotated, etc. Gives you some perspective. I need an AWD vehicle as I recently moved to Park City UT and come froma place where it never snows. I'm looking at either a 2013 Ford Escape w/ EcoBoost and AWD or a 2012 Subaru outback which is 4 cylinder. The escape is 6 cylinder. The subaru has 35k miles, the escape has 45k. The subaru is $20.8k, the Escape is $17k. Any thoughts on which way I should go with this?
