No issues at all but of course I only had it a short time.
The only concern was the huge depreciation hit I took on selling it.
Sold it due to my own “hang ups” in not wanting to drive such a luxurious car in the salt and snow…shouldn’t have sold it.
Thnx. It is a nice looking SUV

I’ve always been partial to Tahoe’s. One of ones I am issued has just under 200k miles and 20k engine hours. It’s taken a beating and still going.

We are just now getting Ford Interceptors which are basically Explorers. Not to happy with them but supposedly they came in 10k a unit cheaper than the Tahoe.

Tahoes are nice.. As a passenger in one, I hated it, as it was very bouncy in the back. But very comfortable as a driver. This was a 2019 model.

The Genesis are nice, and Tiger Woods showed they are safe too.

Mazda CX5, won't break the bank, gets the job done.
Resells nicely.

My daughter would take it from me, and give me her Mazda 3. Ninja style, while I am on travel. She just pulled a 2 week, can I borrow your van Gampa, for a day.. Gampa and I had to recon it from her Moms house.

^ not a fan of the Bronco.. Its small, and fits a niche. Same chassis as the Maverick, sweet little truck that should have been the Ranger. Cheap truck, works.

I know you're looking for someone less curvy but I think the Alfa Stelvio is one of the prettiest vehicles on the road. Incredible things to look at and the last couple model years seem to have sorted out all of the early model issues. I'd have one in a heartbeat if I were in the market.

While I would never buy GM again,personal reasons, I think the Enclave Avenir is beautiful.
Will probably buy an Explorer ST or Durango SRT if we go with an SUV again.

They are very pretty and nice to drive as well. You get a lot of options for your money with those.

The simple way to solve that is the magical word "no".

Have had one of these for almost 4 months now, and so far, it seems to punch above its weight class. Very elegant and classy inside, kinda smallish (if you want more cargo room, go toward CX-9, RAV4 or CRV), decent (but not overbearing) tech, with great driving dynamics. Pretty satisfied with the purchase.

Yep the Mazda CX5 WAS a nice SUV. Wife and I drove one earlier this year.

I say WAS because the base price for 2022 rose $5700! Not such a deal anymore.

^ prices are making me walk on allot of vehicles. Went to a dealership in VA, and they wrote an extra 5000 on a 4Runner, with a sharpie. This was Sept.

We have been holding off on buying a new suv for my wife due to high prices. I'm not paying MSRP, let alone over it. That's insanity.

Just an FYI. if you are an SCCA member you qualify for S plan pricing in Mazda’s. Of course in today’s market hard to say if dealers would accept it

That’s the Bronco Sport. The Bronco is the big one.

Find a nice used Toyota Land Cruiser. Best SUV ever produced.
