[quote=Anonymous]Why do you want an SUV?

I’m an older adult and just bought my first ever brand new car - last November so I could beat the tariffs. I didn’t want to spend a lot but wanted very reliable and low ownership cost plus high resale value so of course I bought a Toyota. I had previously had a RAV4 for 19 years, I bought it gently used and it was 25 years old when the engine finally seized.

My new one is a Corolla hatch, which I love - it reminds me of my first ever car when I was 18 which was a Rabbit GTI hatchback.

The Toyota hatch is excellent quality and the safety features are phenomenal - it would be a very good car for an older adult learner driver. It helps you steer straight, it keeps you from rear ending the car in front of you, it helps you back up safely with cameras and safety alerts. It’s like a little space pod lol.

Really love it, don’t miss the low mileage and higher costs for an SUV which I don’t really need anymore living in civilization as I do - when I lived in mountains of Montana it made sense to have SUV but not in greater Boston area.

I average between 38-42mpg daily driving and it’s a full gas vehicle. After 19 years averaging 20mpg this is very, very nice.

Go test drive it, you might love it and you can spend the extra money on a nice trip.[/quote]
