It's time to sell my 2007 Rav4 with only 78,000 miles on it.
We narrowed down a list of possible vehicles at the Car Show a few months ago and started test driving over the last week. Below is my list of possible selections and what we drove so far. Any input Pro or Con on any of them will be appreciated.
Features we want are
Full Power Passenger seats
Key less entry and start / remote start
Music play from USB Stick
Leather
Under $50K
0% Financing or close
Acura MDX - First one we looked at thinking we would not like it, but we did. Very comfortable and I like how it goes to 4cyl in cruise control.
Volvo XC90 - Really nice all around but mu wife did not like the seats and going over bumps felt like a truck. We also cannot get a new one for under $50K which is one of our needed features.
VW Atlas - Really nice and the biggest for cargo. Pricing was reasonable but real heavy doors and first year run.
Ford Explorer - Never been a Ford guy and still not. Price and Financing is good, Warranty sucks. Cumbersome to fold and adjust the seats, heavy doors that suffer from the same design flaw as the Taurus. The door pull is too close to the hinge and gives you no leverage to close the doors. They should be about 2 to 4 inches further back.
Still to look at
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Dodge Durango
Both the Dodge and Jeep have terrible interior options all black or black and gray.
Chevy Traverse
GMC Acadia
Buick Enclave
I currently have a Buick Lacrosse (2014) that I love and all the GMs have similar interiors and features
