Looking for small CUV/SUV: what should I buy?

Topic starter

Scotty,

After having to replace the transmission in my 2017 Nissan Sentra, I'm in the market for a new car, likely a small-ish SUV that gets decent MPG and that is under $30,000.  I've been looking at Hyundai and Kia (because of the warranty), but I've read that they also have issues with their CVTs.  Which makes and models should I avoid? Are there any that you know that shouldn't have transmission or other major issues before 65k miles?

Thanks!


Clarification: How many years and miles do you need it to last you?

Get a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. Do not even think about Kia or Hyundai if you value your money, time,...

Stay away from Hundayi/Kia.  Good choices are the rav4, crv, and cx5 are all good choices. 



I an not sure if this is a joke or you're trying to make fun of me , but yes it is Hyundai and my auto correct feature changed it 🙄


Ofcourse it’s a joke! Why so serious??

Look at the Toyota RAV4;  Mazda CX-30 and CX-5;  Honda HR-V and CR-V.

Definitely avoid any Hyundai Motor Group product due to poor quality/reliability and inability to stand by their product and their warranty.  See below:

Look at the Corolla Cross.

Do you really need a CUV/SUV?


All the cool kids want one.



Any SUV that doesn’t have a 3rd row of seats is pointless unless you just absolutely have to be higher up in the air. I’ve ridden and driven in RAV4s and they basically have the same amount of space as a Camry
