[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two Volvos (sedan & hatchback, 2014 and 2015), both ~100k and at the point where repairs/maintenance are becoming a headache. Our needs & thoughts:

Car 1: Primarily used for a long commute (highway + 2-lane road) parked in a city lot; want to balance comfort, safety, fuel economy, with reality of likely dings, and avoiding higher theft rate models (Kia). Considering either late model or used, depending on pricing & financing; could become our 5th grader’s first driver in 5 years:
- Mazda CX-70
- VW Tiguan
- Subaru Ascent
- Ford Explorer

Car 2: Primarily in-town, nicer family car, shorter trips plus occasional 8-9 hr road trips (2 average height adults, 1 tween, 1 20 lb dog); likely 2022/2023:
- Volvo X60
- Audi Q5

The dealers are all 45-80 min drives (with the exception of the Ford); we may keep one of the current Volvos as a back-up. We are going to start looking at dealerships this weekend. Thoughts on models to add, or to rethink?

Clearly you have not done your home work.

Audi Q5 is a maintence nightmare.

The 2020 -2024 models in particular tires have to be replaced yearly, presense is terribly bad, and much more.

Ford Explorer has more recalls than pretty much all cars.

Do you not use consumer reports?

Honda CRV
Toyota Rav 4
Lexus NX 350
Mazda

Those are your choices pick one. Otherwise you will be in the shop again and again and again.
