Hunting for a Daily Driver SUV

Land Rover Evoque?


If I didn't have a VehiCROSS, I'd seriously rock one of these.

These are great looking cars but the engines are anemic.

How's the visibility out of that thing? Windows look tiny. I saw these at the jacob javits car show a few years ago and didn't like the style at all.

It does have a sizable blind spot. They also make a two door version if you want to reduce the usability even further lol

I'm not a fan of big packages where you have to pay $6k for a bunch of crap you don't want just to get homelink, but the Porsche a la carte approach is a bit much.

For the Macan you def need the matching color side blades, IMO.

I ordered an STI as a fun car that I don't mind modding the hell out of but it's bee four weeks now and I'm doubting that I can wait.

I ended up seeing a Macan S built pretty much to what I want available at the dealership. I don't want to spend that much on a car that sits in the garage 90% of the time and is not manual but I have to admit, it's constantly in the back of my mind.

If my STI order isn't here in 2.5 weeks and the Macan is still available I'll take that as a sign that I have to get it. ha ha

Love the STI, but wish it was still a wagon.
Love the Macanudo but it probably won't economically take the beating I'll give it, lol

Anyone know if either of the 4Runner or Sequoia or both will launch new generations late next year as Model year 2018s? Aftermarket HIDs might be ok but still not the same as factory full function HIDs or LEDs and 5 cogs on the Runner is feeling very dated in terms of efficiency.

Once I upgrade the tires and rear sway bar it will ride better then my BMW did over Michigan's shitty roads.

Subarus are tanks, so glad to have one..

Dont know what your price range is but if I had to drive a SUV It would have to be a SRT8 Grand Cherokee or a RRS. Those things are bad ass . Cant go wrong with the RRS either, it drives good looks good and feels good. I have the non supercharged luxury model and it is still impressively fast.

Wranglers are good too and cheap but I dont know if I would want to drive mine every day.

I wouldn't get anything Japanese either I dont think theres an attractive japanese suv on the market, maybe that's just me.

Just drove a GLC - really nice a little underpowered. There's a 43AMG version coming in the fall then a coupe in the spring. Will be like a scaled down GLE to go up against the X4 M40. Either should be really nice, regular one probably more practical.
