The one vehicle I’ve seen everywhere .. rich, poor, and in the middle ..everyone seems to have one

I definitely want to see how they hold up for 10 years or so. Because when cars are $40-50k a pop, I am not buying a new one every 5 years. We will hold onto our cars for as long as we can. I don't care if the inside feels cheap. Will it last 15 years without needing a mechanic on speed dial?

I had a Honda for 19 years, now on year 12 of a Subaru and year 6 with another Honda. No issues beyond routine maintenance. If Kia can do that, I'd be happy to purchase one in the future. But I don't really care if it "feels nice" or even what it looks like, so I am certainly a boring utilitarian car person.

The "Rich" folks that own them just don't care about cars, they see them as transportation from A to B with room for stuff. I have friends like that, can afford a brand new Porsche, but drive a 4Runner - they just don't care at all. People that actually like driving/cars would never choose a Telluride if they had the money for something nicer, it just does not have the luxury, style, driving capability, etc... sorry to ruin it for you, but those are just the facts.

What family car with three rows of seats has style or luxury? I’m looking for a three row SUV currently and I want comfort. I’ve been looking at cars when I’m in a parking lot or garage and am seeing a lot of KIAs. The only one I’ve test drove so far is a Lexus SUV and it was smushy with no third row. I’m going to the Kia lot next.

It isn’t “stylish” by most people’s standards but my Honda Odyssey Elite is luxurious and spacious and oh so comfortable. And it drives so smoothly and more like a car than a truck. But, haters gonna hate.

It all depends on your budget. A friend has an X7, captains chairs and a third row... he really likes it, can go fast or slow and is pretty comfortable. I assume that Benz GLS or GLE are also pretty comfortable, though the 3 row GLE looses most trunk. Some aspect of style are the color choice. If you go Benz or BMW (or most luxury barns really), you can order the model from the factory with the features and color that you like - making the vehicle mores distinctive. This can be done with the cheaper versions as well as the more exp samples from luxury manufacturers.

We own a large Lexus, its very comfortable and is a bit smushy, but thats what large and comfortable means - it has a "sport+" button but it only makes it marginally less squishy - it's great for long trips. Good luck

Our Lexus GX 550 has a third row, is comfy but also feels sporty-ish

Bc it looks like a Jeep, not like a rounded off crossover.
