Right now I like the Macan S or Audi SQ5 for SUVs.
Sorry, can't help it. Drove them both, love them both.

I'm starting to learn towards the 4runner since it seems to be the most unique and can take a beating. Would love to go German but not sure it'll take the 200k miles of abuse that I plan to give it, lol. Plus the 4runner has a better aggressive look which I like.

Am going the SUV route because my wife wanted the space and ease in driving in Chicago winters.
Happy to do a wagon, like a WRX or 3 series but doesn't give the space we seek for the kiddo. |

Gotcha. Just curious. Why not something like a van, like the Toyota Sienna? More room, better mileage, available AWD for winter? Seems more logical.

Look into the first gen Lexus GX470's 03-07. The price has come down pretty reasonably on them. You cannot beat Toyota when it comes to reliability.

I recently got used 2013 RX350 for $24,6K for wife. She loves it. Comes decently equipped:
- Double glass side windows - Heated/ventilated seats - Nappa leather seats - 40/20/40-split backseat which also slide and recline, - Navigation - HIDs (the best headlights I have seen so far, at least 50% brighter/better than E70 X5) - Parking sensors - Back-up camera The cargo is slightly larger than our previous E70 X5. Also reliability for those and resale value are the best on the market. Can't go wrong with Lexus. . Last edited by Sedoy; 04-10-2016 at 11:24 PM.. |

For the same reason I bought my M3. I need something that meets my needs but also speaks to me and has emotion in its design and when using it. It needs to be fun, lol! Totally agree a minivan or something like a Pilot makes total practical sense. But being 33, I'm starting to realize life is too short to be too practical and not to enjoy everything in life, down to daily driver family hauler

the 2014-2016 Subaru Forester XT is pretty fun as a daily. Its a sleeper. It has the WRX engine and some nice power when you need it, with 3 drive modes like the STi has. The touring comes well equipped with a skyroof, leather, approach lighting, auto lift gate and plenty of room in the backseats and cargo room,. seats fold down for even more room. I had that before I got my M235ix. If I could afford two cars, I would have kept it. Its worth taking a look at.

Dads hip and knee are bad to the point that they should probably be replaced. Macan was difficult for him to get in and out of and it started wearing on him. No complaints whatsoever about the car.
