Looking for a reliable SUV, pls help
Hey there long post ahead so i apologize in advance.
My ‘05 Ford Escape recently kicked the can and I’ve been looking for a new car since then. I loved my escape. it was comfy, had great trunk space (with and without the seats down), wasn’t too big or small, and sat high off the road which I like.
All this to say, I’m looking for a new used car to buy and Ive heard so many opinions about brands and models. So I figured why not get more opinions and ask you guys what you recommend.
Now my parameters are pretty simple IMO:
First, my budget is a measly $7-8k. Small ik, but times is tough. Second, reliability. I understand that when buying a used car there will most likely be some issues, but I don’t wanna have to replace or repair parts every 8 months. I also don’t want this thing breaking down on me often. Third, form factor, A minor thing but still important to me. I loved my escape cause it was kinda boxy. I don’t love how cars made after 2014 are super curvy. Just a personal preference but that’s just me.
That’s pretty much it. Any and all suggestions would be FANTASTIC. Thank you all
