Vehicle of Choice
We're in the market to replace our SUV and wondering what you drive and if you
like it. Any suggestions? |

2017 Ford Escape. Had to replace the tires at 30K miles and the battery. I like the built-in navigation, but the new models don't offer it. Bummer. No major issues at 40K miles. I hate that the engine shut off at every red light, but that feature stopped working, so I no longer need to deal with it. Way cheaper than a Honda CRV.

I love driving my 2017 BMW X5 50i which I bought in December of 2016. I may update with a 2022 X5 M50i if I can find one.

Toyota RAV 4. Got my first one in 2008, still have it. As of today have 104,500 miles on it. Only thing that has needed replacement are tires, everything else is original. In 2015, my sister (aka The Wicked Witch of the North) talked me into a Lexus RX. Nice, but a gas guzzzler. Traded it in, and got another RAV 4. Great mileage, very comfortable, just the right size.

For an SUV, we like our Toyota Highlander though it's a few years old and I don't know what newer models are like. I see someone recommended the Rav 4 - that is another that we would be looking at.
If you don't need an SUV and are looking for a nice, everyday car we really liked our Toyota Prius. 50mpg at 200,000 miles and still running well when we traded it in. Oil change, air filter, and tires were the only maintenance items we needed.

2015 Hyundai Tucson middle of the road model and we love it. Zero issues with this vehicle. If I ever need another vehicle, think I'll check Hyundai out first. I never thought I would ever have said that, but that's how I'm thinking now.

I bought a Highlander in 2015...absolutely love it. My wife bought a Honda CRV in 2017, and it fits her well. She is only 5' tall and the side mirrors on
the Highlander are dangerously high for her. She could lose a UPS truck in the blind spot they create for her. For me, being fairly tall, not a problem. The Highlander has been a stalwart. The CRV (turbo model), not so much. Lots of issues, and Honda is notorious for ignoring their screw-ups. I'll never buy another Honda. Lease, maybe, buy, never. Having said all of that, I wouldn't buy anything right now. Supply is dreadful, likely to worsen before it improves. If at all possible, unless money is no object, I'd keep the old buggy and wait for things to normalize on the supply chain before I bought anything. Good Luck! |

It required a pair of wire cutters to make it work properly-not at all. Tires-between the hot roads and the round a bouts tires do not last as long here as elsewhere. |

Games are common in the auto industry. From other posts it seems to have been getting worse due to short supply. I've not shopped. I no longer drive much. This is October. If, you buy a 2021 it is last years model when you sign the paperwork. I expect supplies and prices will improve in a few months. |

Likewise, we have a 2015 Highlander XLE and one of the best kept secrets in the
automobile world. It's hasn't got all the safety gadgets that are out there today and think god got that. It still lets the driver do the driving. |

We are on our 2nd Nissan Rogue and we are very happy. We actullay gave our first one to our son and it now has 85,000+ miles and is still going strong. Excellent auto.

I am on my third Nissan Frontier four wheel drive pickup truck. All have been very dependable and have gotten over 200 thousand miles out of the first two and the current one is approaching 100 K.

Wife and I drive our Volvo XC60 Lux, which will be 12 years old next March.
62000 miles on clock, so barely run in, and still looks immaculate. Never let us down, but needs a fuel tanker following behind to keep it topped up. 25mpg on a good run. The 3 litre lump in front turns it into a wolf in sheep's clothing when required! But we love it, super comfort, and I am sure it will still be going strong when we are both a distant memory. |
