Small/Mid Size SUV

Recommended Posts

Golf clubs not fitting is a deal beaker for me.  It's OK for the occasional trip to the course every week, but I like to take golf trips so two bags and luggage is Important.  When looking for a new(er) vehicle, I always take our two sets of clubs to see how they would fit.  When I retired, I wanted to upgrade from my SUV, and I wanted an E-Class Mercedes... until I took my clubs to the dealer!!  That's how I ended up with my Charger R/T.

The issues I have with most small/mid SUVs is power, gas mileage and handling.  They don't have enough, don't get enough, and don't do it well.  Of course, power and gas mileage have to be considered together.  I like power.  If you live where the terrain is relatively flat, the small, efficient engines are OK, but in mountainous regions power and torque are required IMO.  Midsize SUVs are heavier and the smaller engines can't move the vehicle quick enough for me, and mileage sucks.  I don't like the feel of driving most SUVs, unless we are talking higher end models.  I don't feel connected to the road.  For handing the best inexpensive SUV is the CX-5, but it lacks power.  Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia produce quality vehicles but the bigger models require bigger engines and gas mileage suffers as weight increases.  Audi, BMW, Volvo have more power, handle well, and get decent mileage but you pay for them... initially and with maintenance costs.  I used to include Mercedes, but I feel their quality has dropped off lately and mileage is not up to the others.

Two years ago my wife and I went looking for an SUV to replace her Mercedes E-class wagon.  Her wagon had more usable room than any small/mid SUV and got good mileage.  So why did we replace it?  It was a 2002 with 170K miles and it needed new rear suspension at $4000.  She drove every SUV; I didn't drive any of them.  Her brother was a police officer and taught her how to drive, so to say that she drives aggressively is an understatement!!  For her it came down to Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60; AWD is a must here in the Northwest.  She ended up with the Volvo because it met all of her criteria and the Audi dealer was a pr**k.  Two downsides:  (1) we have no Volvo dealer in the area; closest is 200 miles away; but my Dodge service manager is a golf buddy of ours and he does all the routine maintenance.  (2) The XC60 looks very much like the Honda CRV and my wife has tried to get into someone else's car more than once!!

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

@MattFI know you're looking at mpg which is important but also don't forget to look at the type of fuel it takes. Premium gas price could offset some of the benefits of higher mpg.

this is exactly why i lease all my everyday cars.  after 3 years i'm itching for something new, and usually there's been a new model update released across many makes at that point. 
i'm currently in a jeep grand cherokee summit which goes back in June.  Tahoe RST, BMW X5M, Audi Q8 Premium, and Cadillac XT6 Sport are on the short list.

Yup, 3 and done.

Not sure why you left Honda off, one of the best makes IME.

And I looked at the Model Y as I’d love to have an EV. But it has noticeably less cargo space than my Outback and most models discussed here. The cargo bay is only 38” wide, that’s useless for golf clubs, I’m not sure you could even get one set of clubs in without folding down a rear seat. The Model Y is off our list, at least for golf.

The irony for me, my wife’s 2019 Accord will hold 4 players and their bags (wider trunk), whereas my 2018 Outback will hold 3 players/bags tops, uncomfortably at that...

Left Honda off because I've never owned one so I didn't want to speak on them.

The first thing I googled when the model Y was released was "model y golf bag" -- wouldn't even consider one if it couldn't fit! Should be able to fit my clicgear and bag without a sweat!

Not exactly on topic but saw ads during the World Series last night for the new Bronco, that is a great looking vehicle. I think it’s going to do very well.

We just got our first Subaru in Jan. I drove a 2007 Acura MDX and after 210,00 miles it was time for something new. The MDX’s are close to $56,000 so we looked for something else and the new Outback Onyx fit the bill and was $20,000 less. Only have 9300 miles on it but so far we love it.

Hey guys, I know this is a silly question coming from someone living in Germany 😭

Thinking about a MB GLE Coupe and not sure what type of interior to choose: standard ARTICO synthetic leather or pay the premium and upgrade to real leather?

Any experiences with ARTICO? How long does it hold? Cracks, etc.?

I don't have any first-hand experience with ARTICO but synthetic leather is always easier to maintain than actual leather. My M3 and my 3-series after that had real leather, my current car has fake leather, and I couldn't tell you the difference other than the smell. It's nice to no longer need to condition the leather every couple of months.

I personally don't have any preference whether it's synthetic or real deal. You can use leather scent to make believe 😄

My only worry is having synthetic leather breaking, cracking too early.

artico holds up fine. and honestly, anyone who gets in your car won’t know the difference if you don’t tell them. 

unless you’re gonna splurge for the full upgrade to Napa leather, you’re good to go with the artico.

I have a 5 1/2 yr old ML350 - rebadged now as a GLE, with standard interior (Artico?) and has held up great. FYI I also have a 2002 911 with upgraded leather and that also looks great after almost 20 years - but I do a bit more maintenance on it to 'condition' it. I guess what I'm saying is that it'll depend on how long you're planning on keeping it. Real leather will last longer but will require a bit of work to keep it looking great and keep it 'soft'.

Thanks for the input guys. Artico it is! You guys have experience with child's seats leaving marks in the back row? We only have ISOFIX here.

not sure what isofix is, but my son’s car seat has left some temporary impressions that come out if i take the seat out. 

i get my car detailed every other week, so my car’s leather gets a rest from the car seat. so far, nothing permanent.

I drove a Mazda 6 for five years. Then gave it to my daughter who has been driving it for the last two. It has synthetic leather and still looks new. The car has 120,000 miles soplenty of seat time. Notevena hint of cracking anywhere.

Is this kind of fixture. I have them in my Mazda CX5 and you don't get the whole to insert it... you basically have to spread the leather apart between the seat and back. You can imagine the deformation after a few months.

We always put a cloth place matt under the car seats. Protects the seats by putting a barrier between the seats. Protects from the rub marks from the child seat and helps with containing all the spills and crumbs from food and such.

Don't lie, child seats didn't exist back then 😄

For real, I'm 37 now and I remember we were either carried placed on the backseat with the usual seatbelt or on an adult's lap.

Posted in this thread a while back that I wanted a Model Y. My friend bought one for his wife and asked me to ceramic coat it and that means I got to drive it home. There's no way I'm not getting one now this thing is dope, and it fits a golf bag at least two ways:

Posted in this thread a while back that I wanted a Model Y. My friend bought one for his wife and asked me to ceramic coat it and that means I got to drive it home. There's no way I'm not getting one now this thing is dope, and it fits a golf bag at least two ways:

Unfortunately. I’m having to revive this thread.  At the worst time ever for a buyer, I’m in the position of having to get a new vehicle in the next month.

Strongly considering going back to Toyota after a 3 year misguided absence.

Looking st the SUV Hybrid route, which makes it.

RAV4 Hybrid

2021  Venza

Highlander Hybrid

probably the XLE Trims. 

But if anyone can make a solid case for Hyundai Tucson or Samte Fe Hybrid, I will listen. 
 

But after my current issue, ai’ really hesitant to go anything but Toyota.  They are the PING of the Auto industry. Not flashy, but they just work.

I cannot make the case for either of them, as we just picked up two chevy's earlier this year.

The wife is loving her Equinox and I am really enjoying the Blazer.

I do also get the appeal for Toyota's, they are great vehicles, and if I was to pick one it would be the highlander.

Good luck with the car shopping Rob.

Honestly Rob, check out Kia, Hyundai's cousin. Best warranty, 10 year/100,000 miles and now having had mine for a couple of weeks, best bang for the buck. Yes, it's not a yota, but it's very comparable.

I can't "make a case" for the Hyundai hybrids as hybrids are new to their SUV models (though they've had hybrid sedans since the 2011 Sonata). But after driving everything you mention, and after personal experience with 1 Subaru, 5 Hondas and 3 Toyotas - I put a deposit on a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited, delivery scheduled by 11/29.

The Tucson Hybrid was fun to drive with loads of tech and safety assist systems, an upscale interior for the price, and you can't beat the warranties or the value. It's a little smaller than I would have liked, but I didn't need to pony up another $2K plus for a very slightly larger Santa Fe Hybrid. I've asked every friend and neighbor with a Hyundai what they think, and every one of them has been very pleased. The new Hyundais are way more interesting IMO, they're not generic "me too" products anymore. And the online reviews, YouTube and others, are excellent. I can't wait to take delivery!

I also drove a Santa Fe Hybrid and a Sorrento Plug In Hybrid and if I needed more space, I would have bought one of them...didn't need the space so why spend another $2K.

YOU SHOULD GO DRIVE A HYUNDAI OR A KIA and judge for yourself. Why not? If you don't choose either, nothing lost.

Second TRANSMISSION about to be put into the Subaru Ascent I have as a company vehicle. Not good…

FYI, had to replace the windshield, and the “eyes” the car uses had to be reset. INSANE what Safelite charged for that!!! No way I would ever buy a Subaru after what I’ve been through with a brand new one that now has just over 66,000 miles. Cost of upkeep is RIDICULOUS. Thank goodness the company pays for it all!!!

My Sister in Law has her 2nd Kia, the first was totaled about 6 months ago.   She loves them. Here's the thing about Kia and Hyundai.  They both make great looking and tech filled cars for the price.  The warranty is the best out there by far.  

All that said, I need to be confident my next vehicle is going to last a minimum of 10 years with no major issues.  I probably have 6 years left of full time working, so whatever I buy will be paid off by then.  And my driving will be greatly reduced.  I don't really expect it to be my last car, but hopefully 2nd to last car, and to last at least 10 years, then I can trade it and buy m final car possibly without financing anything, since I won't be working, well at least not full time.

I got burned by going with FORD this time, which I had hear greatly improved it's quality.  Well obviously Quality was not Job 1 in the case of this SUV, which by the way ranked very high in the Consumer Reports Testing. 

So if I go with Kia or Hyndai and something happens and it is giving me issue after issue in 5 to 6 years, then I will have nobody to blame but myself. 

It's kind of like hitting a hybrid (no pun intended) off the tee instead of driver.  It's the safe play.

I have driven the Hyndai Tuscon and really really liked it.  They have some more coming in the next week or two and he said, he will let me know when it's there to drive.

See my above comments about how much I like their tech and bells and whistles for the price, and like you even though I'm 6'4" I found it to be large enough for me (I sat in a 2021 on the lot which he says are the exact same size) 

My first thought was going to be a RAV4 Hybrid, and I drove it and it felt "fine"  Figured I could live with it and be content.  Then I took the Highlander XLE ouut and oh man what a difference, in both ride, sound and just quality of the drive.   I had a Highlander from 2006 to 2016 until it was in an accident.   The new ones are so much more plush and tech filled than that one was.   

I haven't eliminated the Hyundai yet.  But I am very hesitant to go away from what I know after my disaster with this Edge.  Which I bought for a lot of the same reasons I just listed about liking the Tuscon.
