Car recommendations? What will be your next one?

[BlueRidgeFly]

SUV or anything “practical” - Toyota. Our last seven vehicles have been. Tacoma, RAV4, Prius… zero problems with any of them in the first 200k miles at least (applicable to three of them).

My next car is going to be a well used and impractical gen 1 Cayman.

Midsize I would say q5 or genesis gv70.

Full size defender/x5/Range Rover.

Time has come to changeover our SUV. 

I like a SUV for the reason that they are great for a weekend away and that my elderly parents can just "slide in" as opposed to "jumping up" in the 4x4 or "folding down" into the merc.

Your recommendations for a mid sized SUV/performance oriented.  Functional, stylish and something you look forward to driving 

 

Out of interest, what are you thinking will be your next car? 

For a performance based SUV I would look into a Porsche Macan, BMW X3M (shares engine with the M3), BMW X5 40i M sport. I avoid BMW V8 engines due to the insanely complicated maintenance. (Except the E9x M3 V8, we love that one lol). Maybe the BMW X5 40i pug in hybrid if you want to toot around town in electric mode but still like the ass and range of an internal combustion engine.
