SUV Recommendation
 

We are having trouble deciding on a new car. We like SUVs because my husband is a big man. I see a lot of Buick Enclavs around, but we really like the new GMC Terrain because of the seating comfort. However, some of the reviews say it has a transmission problem which scares me. Any advice on this or any other recommendations of SUVs.

Jeep Grand Cherokee gets my recommendation. We have been buying Jeep since 1995 and have no major issues.

My wife wants to replace our 2011 Lincoln MKS with a SUV.
I would suggest the Lincoln MKX, Ford Explorer or wagon Toyota Venza.
Personally I want to replace it with Cadillac XTS, Lexus ES or new Toyota Avalon.
Lease- American or Foreign
Purchase- Foreign only. Better resale value.

I just bought a Ford Edge and am very happy with it. Lots of room, comfortable, and great deals on the right now for a lease. I was a GM manager and finally switched since I thought it was a better deal overall even with my discounts. I got out of a Cadillac SRX and for the money is not worth it. The Terrain/equinox I also think do not compare very well and the costs are higher for the same options. I researched every company, foreign and domestic, and this was the best for the money.

:agree:
Daughter and family have an Edge. Very roomy, extremely comfy, holds a ton of soccer gear, and (for this type of vehicle) gets pretty good gas mileage.

we are on our second Ford Edge. We both like the Edge better than any car we have owned in the past.

I have had a Subaru Forester for six years and love it. Thinking of a new car - does anyone know how the Forester compares in size with the Ford Edge or Escape?

Fords
 

2010 Edge is my second best car ever.
First was a Caddy deVille 1988.

Take a look at the Honda Pilot - remember, it's a Honda and that's a good thing.

Honda CRV
 

Enjoyed our Honda CRV with all leather and sunroof.

This is our fifth, or is it sixth Chrysler van and we like them because they are roomier and you can haul big stuff and lots of leg room. I know they aren't an SUV but the Chysler van was always MY car and now it's our car and the three of us find it both comfortable and useful. You'd be surprised what you can and will take home in it. Plants, and bushes, and pieces of furniture and a lot of stuff needed when you are settling into a new home.

They are luxurious too. I even used the seat heater the other day. Brrrr.

We love our Honda CRV. It gets great gas mileage, is roomy and can tow my husband's fishing boat. I've had Honda vehicles for the last 20 years and would have a hard time buying anything else.

It's hard to beat Ford in the SUV market. I had an Explorer that I drove for 10 years. Finally just got bored with it and traded it. It's probably still running somewhere. I've also driven and Edge and really like those.
