Kmcdon6

looked at outback, RAV4, Priusv, forester, Volvo wagons, Passat, Crv. Leaning towards recent model of RAV4 because of cargo space, reliability, and ease of repairs/parts. Leaning away from others mentioned because of less cargo, hybrids not worth it, too much electrical issues and/or smaller seating space. thanks for your input!!

kme1961

I'm trying to decide between a Mazda 3 and a toyota corrolla. The mazda is clearly sportier and has a higher end audio system, but the Toyota seems more reliable and my family has a relationship with a dealership that's just around the corner. Any thoughts anyone can give would...

Really like my Audi for it's fit and finish and how well it does even after 15 yrs on the road. Love a manual transmission and this one is short throw 5spd with a turbo. Its fun but too expensive to justify maintaining it any more. Next crisis and I'm...

mewri

A utilitarian hauler for dogs, camping/canoeing gear, groceries, etc. Easy access for a large, older dog is a must. Rear seating, don't much care. My Honda Element has fit the bill perfectly and would buy another in a heartbeat, but those with low-ish miles are few and far between. Looked...

Has to be very quiet at interstate speeds on coarse surface concrete. Comfortable seats for long drives. Room for 4 adults.
Reliabilty is secondary to these two items, I have other transportation.

Even mix of city and highway driving - more rear passenger seat room will be needed for the pair of vertically-expanding spawn; I want some power and decent handling. Driver two holds rear parking sensor (or rear camera) and passenger safety in high priority. A bit ( not too much)...

I lease a 2013 Honda Civic hybrid. I'd get another, but Honda has discontinued it for 2016. I get about 35 MPG driving in D.C. traffic. I'll need to get a new lease this year.
  • The only other Honda hybrids are the Accord (which is probably outside my price range)...
  3 responses   looking for a mid size suv, which will carry a family of 4 easily with about 3-4 luggages. It will also be used for daily commute for short distances when not going on family vacations.
Member6633

Reliability, reliabilty, reliability and reliability. Oh btw, did I mention reliability ?
Everything else comes a very distant second.
Preferences are at least a v6 or even better a V8.
V8's last longer (hence the reliability).
I do NOT want a souped up turbo charged or supercharged engine.
Those engines...

Looking for a FWD, manual transmission wagon or crossover, under $24k. This is a very small pool of vehicles in the USA.


Settled on a Mazda CX-5 or VW Golf Sportwagen. Unfortunately, the Mazda, though roomy, has anemic performance (manual transmission models get a smaller engine - why???)....
