Looking for a used mid sized SUV

We own one for our son and like it so much are considering a 2nd. Best vehicle, beside our 2006 Pilot, we have owned. My wife and 2 kids walked away from an accident which totaled our initial CX 5....so we replaced it with another.ken brydson wrote: »Wife has a Mazda CX-5 and loves it...

OMG, I almost broke my neck checking out a Panamera I passes the other day. It was really sporty, white with black spoilers, wheels, accents, etc....the deluxe model to say the least.The A7 is my dream car as well. I also dig the Panamera and Q70L. Something about those big sports sedans really revs the engine.
I could not tell which is was, but it had a bad a_s_s appearance and stance on the street!
The big 5 door sedans are just so cool!

Well the plan was to stick with the car and the truck and to not replace the Jimmy. So I made sure the truck had an 8' bed(for firewood hauling, etc) and doors to access the back seat. After the Mrs got into the truck those plans went down the crapper. It's just too big for her to drive w/o being a nervous wreck.
So a SUV is what she wants for peace of mind and room to haul the dogs around. People around here feel they need the AWD and SUV types for the few actual snow storms we get these days but my Cruze(with snow tires) can go up our 1/4 mile gravel lane no problem if we have less than 4" on the ground.
14 RX here and have never used the AWD here in the rust belt. If I could've found a 2 wheel drive I probably would've bought it. Pretty hard find though. Too many AWD's on the road that are not needed. -
When we moved to IN from MI I pretty much started over refurnishing our house. I purchased at least a third or more of my stuff shopping craigslist chicago. One shopping trip, I gotBut that's just me. I see getting a full sized SUV for it's capacity, but these CUV's, I don't understand the appeal.

All into the CX-5! It's got 34.1 Cu Ft cargo, 64.8 with the seats down. So, for these reasons it's nice to have one in the family. All would not have fit into my old Chrysler 300 sedan with its 16.8 Cu Ft trunk. All of the larger stuff I purchased, I just rented a truck from Menards!

This past week our rdx was in the shop getting some body work done. Our rental was a qx60. Although I didn't find lots of aspects comfortable for me I really liked the size. When our rav dies or in 3 years we will definitely be looking at an mdx, rx350. With a bigger dog, and 2 very tall young kids I like knowing we have more room, space.

14 RX here bought in late 14 with 6k on the clock. Today it has 40k on it with ZERO repairs! Most reliable car owned other than interior rattles from Illinois roads. I'll put Toyota against ANY brand for long term reliability.

Dear god man. Do you drive the car or just store it in the garage?
No wonder you get long term reliability...

She needs a 4Runner. One of the last real mid-size SUVs; sitting on a steel box frame. A real 4wd available or a Torsen center diff AWD with and ATRAC. It’s old school tech and no fancy features, super reliable and a beast in the snow.
But it’s comparatively expensive and gets poor fuel mileage. 17-21mpg.
I’ve had my 2018 for almost a year; easily the most practical vehicle I’ve owned. It just works and I love the piece of mind.
Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant -
Get a Mazda CX-5. That’s most likely my next vehicle if my 2005 Mazda 3s ever stops working. The only drawback to the CX-5 is it has an automatic transmission, and I have never owned a car with an auto.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

My 06 4runner is showing its age. Have about $3k worth of recommended repairs so I'm also in the hunt for a newer vehicle. Leaning towards a 2014-2016 either Land Cruiser or LX 570. Not to thread jack, but anyone have any experience with either model?2007 Club Polk Football Pool Champ

Hope your hunt is going better than mine. Test drove a 570 at the local Lexus dealership Monday. Have a look today and notice that the price (which has been static since early March) was increased by $950 the day after I expressed interest. So not only is it currently overpriced, they put another $1k layer on top of that. I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve, but I hope winning my business isn't one of their goals.........b/c this ain't how it's done.2007 Club Polk Football Pool Champ
