Chip Strokes Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 i got my wife a BMW X3 with the M sport package last year. she loves it. some of the tech features are actually awesome instead of gimmicky add-ons. the live cockpit is great and the touch screen has something called “gesture control” where you can answer a call or change the radio station just by waving your hand in front of the touch screen. sirchunksalot, Rickp and JerBooth 3 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Yea, lots of Subi's running around so that says something. Interesting side note is that when I attended fire fighting training a couple years ago, and we did the vehicle accident training which included extraction, they told us to remember that the Subaru's had a high-strength steel reinforcement in the B-pillar area we typically cut through making that path problematic. So pop the door hinges or cut through the roof instead . Clearly Subaru takes care of the buyers... going the extra mile to ensure they'll be around for future purchases . sirchunksalot and Rickp 2 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middler Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Among other makes - I’ve owned 2 BMW’s, 5 Honda’s, 3 Toyota’s and 1 Subaru (Outback). BMW’s are great, but expensive. They’re still not quite as reliable as Japanese cars (but better than many), and when you do need service it’ll cost WAY more (2-3X) than any Japanese make. If the purchase price and lifetime maintenance costs don’t bother you, it doesn’t get much better than BMW. Subaru is decent, but unless you need their awesome 4WD, Toyota and Honda simply make better cars. There’s a good reason almost no carmakers build boxer engines any more (Porsche is a different $$$$ league). And the nav/electronics and safety suite are just not as advanced as Honda or Toyota. Subaru is a relatively small company compared to Toyota or Honda and they can’t match Honda or Toyota R&D/technology. We have a 2018 Outback and a 2019 Accord Hybrid, the Honda is just a better car in every way (again unless you need 4WD). I’d choose a Honda, they have 4 SUVs this year, surely one fits your needs. I’m just not as keen on Toyota styling lately, the latest Camry, Highlander and Prius are bizarre/overdone/busy IMO - they look like they were styled by Committee and didn’t know when to stop!

ZenGolfer Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I work for Honda, so take what I say for whatever its worth and through the lens of someone who works for one of the OEMs. So, its really depends what you want. The midsize SUV market is so competitive and cutthroat right now that theres so many great options. The CRV and RAV4 are great options and either would serve you well for years, if not decades; if you take care of them. The Ford Escape is a great option too. It probably would be slightly less reliable than the Honda or Toyota but probably not by much and IMO the styling, performance and ergonomics of the Escape are slightly better. Styling is highly subjective though, so you may or may not agree with me on that. I personally wouldn't go Mazda. My wife currently drives a Hyndai Tucson and before she settled on the Hyundai, we test drove a CX-5 and it was just blah. The interior was bland and the performance was fine but it was just boring. Speaking of Hyndai, a Tucson or Kia Sportage would be great options too. IMO, the Hyundai/Kia is the best option if you are on a budget and want something that is affordable, reliable and cheap to maintain. Subaru is fine but they can be expensive to buy and expensive to maintain/repair. People love them though. All in all, theres lots of great options and you really need to just go and test drive what you think you might like.

Middler Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I’d steer clear of Subaru and their boxer engines. They had massive head gasket issue years ago, and they’ve improved, but they’re still beset with engine recalls. I have a 2018 Outback 2.5 and so far so good, but I know two people in the last 4 years who had their engines completely replaced in the first year (fortunately under warranty). Here’s some of the recent recalls https://www.cashcarsbuyer.com/subaru-engine-problems/ Quote It's become clear in recent years that Subaru has had some issues with quality control as far as their engines are concerned. The excessive oil consumption issue has popped up for so many Subaru models and has gone on for such a long period of time that it can't be considered the kind of problem that's a statistical anomaly or a rarity in the industry. There is a clear problem with some of the older Subaru models on the road. In terms of newer models, Subaru has still had a few problems as we've seen with some of the recalls that it has issued. Models as late as 2019 had to be brought in for repairs due to issues with their engines. If it's not excessive oil consumption, it’s problems with failing valves. For these reasons it's definitely worth making sure you know what you're getting into if you're interested in picking up a new or used Subaru. If it's one of the models that has been subject to a recall, then you definitely want to get it checked out by a trusted mechanic before you invest any of your money in it. As for you or models, there's no way to know for sure if it's going to be a problem until later so it's something of a calculated risk you might want to look at. fixyurdivot and MattF 2 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 CB 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX923 HMP 4-GW, T22 54.12WS, T22 58.04DC w Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Midsize Evnroll EV5.3 Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, Payntr X 001 F (Mesh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is lots of excitement about it and the manner in which Ford is offering it. My nephew, currently a blinged out, overlanding, 4Runner aficionado, is planning on buying the new Bronco. My sister-in-law has a Highlander Limited that she likes - seems like a pretty nice sized package. It also has a flip-up rear window which my wife has come to like.... doggy mom features .

JerBooth Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Living in Northern Ontario can be daunting at times when the snow flies. We get lots of it. My wife decided on a 2017 Mitsubishi RVR. That thing goes through everything including a heavy snowfall. Good punchy engine especially if you get the GT edition. The drivetrain is amazing and is even covered under warranty for 10 years. Lots of room and is lots of fun to drive. I can tell you working for Gm, the new Buick Encore GX is really nice. The Terrain is nice too, that turbo 2.0 has some serious kick and it has room galour. Almost bought one before the misses told me to buy a GMC Sierra. Just some thoughts.
