What is a good car to buy these days?

[Amy10223]

If you had a choice of SUV's to choose from, which if these would you choose?

1. Toyota Hylander

2. Acura

3. Discovery/Land Rover

4. Your choice

This all depends on whether you want to buy new or used and how much money you plan on spending. Get a copy of the April edition of Consumer Reports. Every April, they cover all vehicles, both new and used and make their recommendations based on their testing and feedback from consumers.

I'd like to buy a few years old. As long as it's a good car. My present one is a Toyota Highlander, and it has never failed me. It has a lot of mileage now and soon I will have to look for another. Cars are so expensive these days, that I dont know if I can get one for about 28,000-32,000.

Nice list, thanks for your help! I think mine will be either another Highlander or Honda CRV. You can’t go wrong with those two makes. Acura is like another Honda, only pricier.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

If you can afford an Acura, that's a good choice. A Land Rover is overpriced and expensive to maintain. I know someone who has a Toyota Highlander and she loves it.

[Amy10223]

Yes, I like mine. But it has over 200,000 miles, and I need to be careful as I'll need one soon when it dies.

[SaoirseS]

I own a Highlander. Great choice and can do everything I need it to do. I don't know anything about the other choices.

[DryGermanGuy]

😬😬😬

[Amy10223]

I have one now, and I do like them.

[Redstang88]

Definitely Toyota, you really can’t go wrong

[exitseven]

I never buy a foreign made car. I had 2 Chevy Tahoes. I had them for 12 and 13 years and well over 200K miles.

[Sparkie460]

My family owns 3 subaru cars. We wouldn't own anything else because they are reliable and safe

Nissan Pathfinder
