We’re in our 50s and are retiring. We plan to drive a lot on long trips and want a comfortable and roomy car. We’ll probably stay away from a luxury car because of thr cost of maintenance and service. We’re thinkkng of a Toyota Sequoia but is there something nicer? Thanks!

I'd find whichever warranty is the best and buy the most comfortable car for that make. If you're putting heavy miles on a car, things will break more often and a 10 year warranty would help.

A sequoia is a giant soccer mom car. If you want Toyota I’d get Avalon or maybe Highlander but only if you need an SUV for a particular reason. What car do you have now and what don’t you like about it? I’ve never heard of someone buying a car “for retirement.”

The op explained they intend to travel on long road trips...hence the need for a reliable vehicle that is both comfy and capable of holding luggage.

Can't you connect dots, pp? Isn't it reasonable to assume the op and their partner likely drove smaller cars for their individual local commutes and now they need something else?

Op: depending on how much trunk space you need, you might test drive a Honda CR-V. It's on the smaller size, but it is a reliable vehicle that gives you some elevation at a good price point.

Lexuses are very comfortable cars. Insanely comfortable. And maintenance and repairs are not expensive. Only the European premium brands have expensive maintenance and repairs.

Lol. 2 adults don’t need a Sequoia to take road trips. For the love.

Subaru Forester SUV. Not a big hulking SUV but plenty of space, good mileage and very comfortable.

Kia Niro. I am in love with mine. It beats out all of the luxury cars that I test drove.
