5 Affordable Used All-Wheel Drive Cars Below $20,000

All wheel drive vehicles are perfect for a great deal of us in the U.S. living in or often visiting rural areas. We love and need these vehicles for radically different reasons and because of this the automotive industry has paid attention. In turn there are a lot of choices when it comes shopping for
used AWD cars.
Favorite AWD Vehicles User Poll
We asked our users and Facebook fans if they drove an all wheel drive car. We then asked them why they did. And finally we asked them to choose their favorite AWD vehicle. This article is a culmination of the data collected from our user polled study.
Suzuki SX4
User Pick #5
Of the hundreds of people that participated in our event more of them voted the Suzuki SX4 for #5 user favorited all wheel drive vehicles. The SX4 is considered a cross over vehicle so for those out there looking for something with the driving power of an suv and the parking ability of a mid sized car this Suzuki is a good choice. It's got a 4 star safety rating review for roll over resistance; it gets better than average fuel economy and starts off with an MSRP under 16 K. Nuff said.

Ford Ranger
User Pick #3
The Ford Ranger comes in at #3 in our user poll and it's a shame as the
last Ford Ranger built in North America rolled off the line December 16, 2011. However the people have spoken and it stands firm at #3. A little bit higher for this author. The Ranger is the perfect mid sized truck for the person of average height. Surprisingly the Ranger gets lower fuel economy than other larger cross over cars. With a starting MSRP of just over 18K it might be deciding factor if you could indeed still buy this truck.
