New Cars, which one?

Just Bling · ‎03-10-2010

I love input, so I'm down to 3 options. What do you think? The first 2 are still 2018 but the Latitude is 2019. It's just my 60# dog and I so no family to haul around. I should be driving a Mustang or Camaro but I'm just too darn practical.

CRV, Mazda CX5 or a Cherokee Latitude

I would choose the Cherokee Latitude.

CRV in a heartbeat.

Honda so reliable.

I vote for the CRV. I have one that is 13 years old and I love it and plan to drive it until it dies but my next car will be a Subaru Forester.

No doubt, the CRV!

A few years ago it was hard to get parts for Mazda's. I dont know if that has changed or not.

I was a dispatcher for a tow truck company and we were forever towing Jeep Cherokee's to the repair shop.

Ive had Hondas and worked for them for several years. I never had a minutes trouble with them, and I know how picky their quality control is.

I in my opinion the CRV

I wish you well and safety in which ever one you choose.

I just got a new 2018 Subaru Forester last week.

Primary reasons for buying this type of car after years of driving sedans were its high ratings for safety and crashworthiness, easy visibility (especially compared with my Camry which had so many blind spots), plus the fact that it and the Audi are the two most quickly sold cars year after year and highly rated by Consumer Reports and other sources.

Was on the verge of buying an Audi Q5, which I absolutely loved, but overnight decided that the Forester would be a good car to pass along or sell to one of my sons in the next year or two. I don't really "love" the Forester from a beauty or luxury standpoint.

The Audi takes premium gas, and I didn't think either son would want to buy premium gas OR pay the higher price of the Audi. Someday, though, I'm gonna get my Audi...LOL!!

I also looked at the Lexus and Acura smaller SUVs but didn't like either one.

Good luck with your car-buying. I find it a pain to do and am always glad when it's over and a decision is made.

Honda would be a good choice. Jeep not so much, based on its consistently low ratings for reliability and other factors, including a lot of recalls and low resale values.
