Hello! Scotty, short story long, I want to buy a car SUV.
FIRST option is Lexus RX450h, although the 2014-2016 are quite expensive.
I like quite much a Toyota Venza, 2013, 2.7 engine but I am afraid IT is sluggish even at 50-75 mph on highway. The average mpg is not good, with 20/26 mpg. Have You ever drive a 2.7 Venza? Remarks?
Now, the second option is a Subaru FORESTER but only XT, 2014-2016. How reliable is?
The third is KIA SORENTO, 2016-2018 - I would normally prefer 2018, only with 2.0 engine.
HondaCR-V 2016 also looks interesting, albeit is not looking extremely powerfull. Or Toyota RAV4 2014-2017, although... definitely, it's not looking as a babe....it's...remarkably ugly....
Last would be a Buick Envision - yeah, made in China, and GMC Terrain/Chevy Equinox 2.4 or 2.0, no engine under 2.0.
I have never found an owner fully content for his/her Mitsubishi, either Outlander, Eclipse Cross....after 150.000 Miles. Are they so terrible?
Please Tell me your experiences, opinions, advises, anything is more than welcomed.
Thanx a lot,
Peter
Reliability can be judged, at least a little bit, by sampling various model complaints at carcomplaints.com
There are also TSBs for each model and year available on the site.
