...what kind do you have? DH is looking into a new (used) car and he wants an SUV, but one of the smaller ones, aka not a total gas hog. I drive a Ford Escape and we really like it, but we don't want two of the same car. Any recommendations?
-
Ford edge. Best car ever!
-
I used to have a CR-V, and I really liked it!
-
@Ash: We saw some of those while looking! I really liked those but didn't really check on prices. I will look it up now:)
-
@Weagle: I've never heard of that, off to Google!
-
I have a RAV4, and ILs have a CR-V. Both get about the same MPGs (23-26ish). I have had good luck with Toyotas, and I love my car. Got it because it has 4wd (which was a must) but also isn't huge and as much of a gas guzzler. ILs love their CR-V too.
-
My DH has a Toyota Highlander. His family all have Toyotas. I got really nervous after the issues they were having a few years ago, so I would just be a bit wary about that, but he loves it and it's lasted him over 10 years with no major problems!
-
I have a Kia soul. I guess I wouldn't call it a suv, just a midget suv maybe? But it gets great gas mileage and has a huge trunk and seats 5.
-
We have a Nissan Rogue and it's amazing on gas!
-
We have a larger SUV- Chevy traverse
-
We have a Kia Sorento and love it!
-
BMW X3
-
Honda CRV! I get about 27.5 miles to the gallon, I trust the Honda name for reliability, and it was the cheapest of the ones we were looking at.
-
We loved our Honda CR-V! We went through THREE! It's like a sedan but with the room of an SUV. Great gas mileage. It was too small once we had our second child so now we're in a Mazda CX-9 which we love, but uses so much gas.
-
We replaced our Ford Escape (flooded in hurricane sandy) with a Jeep Liberty. I like the Liberty but gas mileage isn't the best and there's less front leg room than the Escape.
-
I have a Nissan X-Terra and I love it!
(this is a Google picture, but mine is the same color!) I don't recommend it in Orange though.. don't ever pick a car on the fact that it makes you happy one day when you are 15, because then you're stuck with a big bright orange SUV.
-
@LindsayInNYC: Hmm DH mentioned something about a Jeep, but it was a Grand Cherokee Laredo but they didn't look as great on gas either.
-
We have a Chev Equinox, aside from the transmission and engine being replaced in the first year we had it.....we do love it!
....thank-you warranty!
-
We just bought a Nissan Pathfinder...they just redesigned them for 2013 and they're super nice! I can't wait until it comes in now
-
@Bao: I don't know if other Jeep models are any different but aside from the Liberty, a lot of others look nice (Patriot, Compass, etc.)
-
@Bao: We bought a Ford Edge and loveloveLOVE it!
-
I have an Xterra, but I don't recommend it on the fact that it has such stiff suspension and it's hard to get in and out of the backseat. Otherwise I love it
-
@MrsTiz: hahaha I have a green car and love it! I've always had bright cars!
-
@anonysquire: I have a Green Soul too! I love it esp after having a gas guzzling jeep liberty for 8 years.
My husband drives a subaru forrester and I love his car too.
-
@MrsTiz: haha! I wanted a bright orange or yellow XTerra too! I probably would have bought that in my 20s if it were in my budget at the time
I drive a Nissan Murano and love it. It's a mid-sized SUV and is really comfortable.
-
@Chillybear: how many people have sang to you at a stoplight? Like 3 different people have pulled up next to me at a stoplight and start singing the hamster commercial song....
-
@anonysquire: haha the hamsters!!
-
@anonysquire: no one yet ( i've had the car about a year) but when my best friend got married this year she tried to convince the reception manager to let me drive them into the reception since that was their entrance song
-
We have Chevy traverse. I also liked the Chevy equinox but we decided to get something bigger.
-
@mrskc: How is that on gas?
-
@Bao: it's not horrible. We average 20 mi/gal. I know the equinox is better sine its smaller and only a V6 I believe.
-
@mrskc: ok thanks
-
I have a GMC Acadia which is a huge gas hog, but we love it!
I use to have an Acura MDX which was my favorite car I have ever owned!
-
@lavender: This is off topic but I just now realized your avatar is a dog. lol.
-
We have a Lexus RX 300. I love it!!
-
@Bao: yup, it's a pic of my pug Pedro
-
@lavender: I thought it was a wild pig or something lol so sorry! I guess I never looked that close before.
-
Another vote for the Honda CR-V, I love love love it.
-
Mazda cx-9. We actually just traded it in yesterday but it is a great crossover utility vehicle.
-
Lexus RX350
