NCEPR: Recommend a crossover SUV (@ mentions)

[Saudade]

We've had our CRV for 11 years. It's amazing. We haven't had to do anything other than routine maintenance...actually we did get the brake pads done maybe? I can't remember. We can fit 3 car seats in the back. It's not used regularly anymore, a couple times a month, but it's still my favorite car.

cap , we are interested in getting the new Rav4 prime. Did they mention anything about towing capacity? I haven't seen any information on that from Toyota.

I honestly don't know. My H drives an F-150 (he's a farm boy and you can only take farm boys so far from the farm), so it wasn't something I looked at. I gleaned a lot of info about the Prime version from news articles, like that it'll likely qualify for the full $7500 tax credit based on what they estimate the battery size has to be to get the 39 mile all-electric range. TBH, knowing we'd get that much tax credit really sealed the deal - it'll be cheaper in the long run to get the Prime over the regular hybrid. 

My husband drives a Prius Prime to work. I currently drive a Ford Escape with awful mileage. I usually just drive short distances to go to the store or school. But on the weekends we go on longer trips and would like to tow our tent trailer with it. I'll see if I can get some info from a local dealership about this.

Probably a tad bit smaller than the Vue, but we’ve had both the Chevy Equinox and now a GMC Terrain. I like both but the Terrain has a slightly nicer interior. Both get great gas mileage in the 4 cyl

I have a 2015 RAV4 limited AWD and I LOVE this car. I’m usually itching to get a new car every 3 years and I’ve had this one for over 5 and plan on keeping it another 8 years. It’s comfy and drives great and I have 73k miles with zero issues.

My sister drives a CR-V and loves it! She rides between two car seats in the backseat very frequently and finds it comfortable (she’s fairly petite). She’s on her second one. Her first was lost in a very serious accident, from which they all walked away completely fine, even her at 28 weeks pregnant. After how well it protected her she didn’t even try any other car.

Subura Crosstrek but not the hybrid version. It was a one and time, they really messed up the hybrid.

Test-drove a 2017 Nissan Rogue, 2016 Mazda CX-5, and a 2017 Toyota RAV4 today. All were nice. Going to drive a Subaru Crosstrek on Monday evening.
