Thinking of a new vehicle for the wife

[Gman]

What about something in the Acura or Infiniti line up? It's been a while since I've been into cars, but Acura had at least one turbo model out for a while. I think it was the RDX.

Did you read the budget on page 1?

If I were looking at something like the Acadia/Traverse, I'd look harder at the Buick Enclave...but that budget thing comes up again.

Does it have to be brand new?

Does it have to be brand new?

Most likely. I like having at least one newer vehicle in the household that is still under a factory warranty.

If I had to cheat on my Grand Cherokee, I'd go for a Toyota.

But then again, it's a 2002 Jeep, so there could be all sorts of things that I don't know about with those newer vehicles.

Acuras are expensive as hell. I briefly looked at them a couple years ago when I was in the market for a new car. Everything in their lineup started above my budget ($20k)

Traded in a 2010 4-Runner and just got a 2014 Highlander. The 4-Runner was great but we recently found out we need a 3rd row. The Highlander has been awesome and it almost as big as the 4-Runner was. It has quite a bit more front and rear passenger room and only 1" less clearance.

I have a 4runner and it's awesome. Highlanders are great too. My wife had one and loved it. Can't go wrong with either.

I would suggest you stay away from the current generation 4runner. Mine was a lemon, and the day toyota bought it back was a great day for me....

I'm also considering looking at the BMW X1 and the Mercedes GLA. Not sure about the cost of maintenance and repairs on those though.

If you go factory certified whatever on either, that should be taken care of. I really like the way the MB GLA looks. I hate the GLK, however.

My missus wheels around in a Rav4.
Good little vehicle
