What kind of SUV do you drive?

Just rented a dodge Durango for the long weekend in San Francisco. It was the bigger one with the third row and it was surprisingly easy to drive and park in the city.

We are on our third leased Kia telluride.  Absolutely love them

We've got a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Bought in 18 and still going strong. I change oil routinely and have replaced the battery and brakes. Other than that, we have done nothing else and it has not failed us yet. Just the two of us and a dog.

We have rented newer Grand Cherokees, a Cadillac suv, GMC Terrain, Subaru Ascent & Toyota Highlander and a Kia Sorrento (off memory). All have been fine, though I would rate the Cadillac #1, the Grand Cherokee, Terrain and Ascent group 2 and the Highlander and Sorrento last.

I am admittedly partial to the Grand Cherokees and Subaru products as they get their steel from our union steel mills in Indiana.

I like the look of it. I have not given it a test drive yet. Give me your detailed review please.

If you dont mind. 

I think we found it comfortable and very spacious. It had a 3rd row, which we would have rather have had as cargo space. Of course we were able to fold the seats down. It seemed to drive nice. I don't recall it having many extra bells and whistles.

Sorry I can't provide more, but it has been a few years.

We have a Dodge Durango and really like it. It's a 2019 and still reliable as hell....my mechanic warned me about it but it's been great and the extended warranty can't be beat. If you don't use the warranty service they credit you for the cost. That's what they told me at least.

Think about a Ford Maverick or Ranger....not an SUV but close enough

I think most Cars are built pretty well these days…. I remember my dad had an Audi 200 Turbo … freakin 5 cylinder, weird
 great car when it wasn’t having all kinds of computer issues… had special mechanic.. always something wrong but fun car 

I know someone with Trailblazer.. it’s nice n nimble.. fun ride from what she says 

My dad...
He always acted like he was The Ultimate Car Expert.
He didn't know shit. Hahaha
Even into my 30s and 40s he felt like he always needed to give me advice on cars. Ugh

One thing he was so adamant about? He fucking preached how anyone who buys a used car is just asking for problems. He was convinced that a used car was just someone else's piece of shit. Haha 

He didn't give a fuck if it came with a 3-5 year full warranty. If it was used? It was a piece of shit. 

What my dad never realized? Those 1970-1984 station wagons he drove his family around in?
 WERE PIECES OF SHIT!!!!

HAHAHA

My wife's vehicle is a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. Nice SUV with a good amount of cargo space. Bought it slightly used and have had no complaints so far. From reading reviews and whatnot, I understand that some specific parts for this model are more expensive than for comparable SUVs. Most of them seem to be for the computer system and luckily (knock on wood) we haven't had to deal with that yet.

We have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee that we bought new.  Absolutely love that car.

We also just bought a 2022 Chevy Traverse a couple months ago.  It's pretty damn big but we need the 3rd row with 3 kids and just can't bring myself to buy a minivan.  Really liking it so far....these newer cars are wild with all the safety features.  All sorts of beeping and alerts all the time.

Came here to edit - we rented a Traverse, not a Terrain. Though we do have friends with a Terrain, CRV and Passport. Those 3 we have ridden in several times were less than ideal to me. Lack comfort compared the the Grand Cherokees. In my opinion.

2023 Cherokee Tailhawk here. Just passed 100,000 kms yesterday. So far I haven't had any major repairs. Very pleased.

I've had three Subaru Outbacks over the years.  2018, 2021, 2024.  They are company cars and get replaced every three years, but they have been great.  I would def buy one if one wasn't given to me.

We test drove a Traverse and I lobbied hard for us to get that one, but she really wanted the Pathfinder.
