TTQ B4U Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Opposite end of reliable and sexy from the CRV but what about the Range Rover Evoque? He'll no. Need the reliability piece as we will keep this one for a while. Sent from my Galaxy Note 8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 4,500 miles turbo I4, and you can get 2yrs more certified warranty from MB. Really like the lunar blue. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I Like 250's. I agree with you on that color too. The FX30 Infiniti is the same vehicle just loaned to the Japanese. The 2.0t and Dual Clutch make it a sporty fun little ride too. Damn infiniti for not using a Dual Clutch in my car. The downside is it's a bit smaller than we are looking for. We looked yesterday just window shopping and the Edge, RDX and Murano, etc. are about the size she wants. I call them mid-size CUV's vs small. I still want her to drive the Highlander to see how it drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) The Macans are fast too but that's going to be a challenge under 40k. I've driven quite a few vehicles in this segment, and it's just mid-pack for me.. then I look at all of the buttons and it get's moved towards the bottom. I really like the Q5 in that segment. Can you get an SQ5 used for that kind of price? If the current RDX is interesting to you, can you wait until the new RDX comes out? http://wardsauto.com/2018-north-american-international-auto-show/acura-rdx-prototype-revealed Current RDX doesn't have SH-AWD, just a friendly FYI.

We looked yesterday just window shopping and the Edge, RDX and Murano, etc. are about the size she wants. I call them mid-size CUV's vs small. I still want her to drive the Highlander to see how it drives.I had a Murano as a rental and thought it was quite a bit bigger than the RDX. Are you thinking of the Rouge? Stelvios are nice, not sure what deals there are, but they also use a unique (to Alfa) infotainment and Driver Assist system (not necessarily bad, I just haven't driven it). My wife didn't like the sporty seats, but what does she know. They only come in AWD, and the 505HP QV looks awesome but gets pricey. The Levante has a variation of the UConnect and the "global" driver assist, and now offers "Highway Assist," FCA's first true Level 2 autonomous feature (Highway only). Not sure what deals are out there on these either. It drives nice, looks good, sounds great in Sport mode but IMO a Grand Cherokee Summit is more luxurious inside. We had a Macan in the fleet. It couldn't go 2 weeks without a trip to the dealer. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l36tols1 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Another vote for Ford Explorer I spent quite a bit of seat time in one last year when I was in Denver. It wasn't a Sport, it was a Limted 4x4. It was amazingly smooth and comfy. Drove it in 4 inches of snow on the freeway and never slipped or got sideways even when I give it a little gas. Was able to do 70mph easily with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiji ST Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Out of everything here I'd say: Edge Sport, then Q5, followed by a Grand Cherokee. Have you thought about another Kia? You loved your van a lot. Why not look into loaded or Sorento? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You loved your van a lot. Why not look into loaded or Sorento? Haven’t ruled out the Koreans but with the van it was $9k lower in price than the competition. SUV wise they aren’t as far apart.

Got-Boost? Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Ford Explorer Sport Ford Edge ST VW Tiquan R-Line ($38k new) SQ5 RDX X3 M-sport http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/09/011-2011-bmw-x3-paris.jpg As much as I love the high end performance stuff, if you are keeping it long term 10-years+ it just won't be as reliable. Either be prepared to do the maintenance and work yourself out of warranty or keep shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
