[quote=Anonymous]OP here-

I work from home, so any daily driving is going to be pretty minimal. It's really going to be for grocery store runs and occasional road trips.

Re cargo space, I think most of what I need is really essentially having four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive for snow and a roof rack for "toys". And some cargo space in the back for hauling around junk in general.

I think I've just always had incredibly good luck with Toyotas, which is why I'm partial to them. (I've had a RAV4 for the last 15 years and it's been an incredibly good car to me- in some ways I know it's the obvious choice here, but I want something different, I think.) I've also had a 4Runner which I loved. (It was a 1999 four-cylinder stick shift and it sipped gas and I liked driving it. It got totaled and I got an automatic 4Runner and really hated driving it and sold it. But I keep trying to tell myself that having a reliable car might be an acceptable compromise.) I still have a 2001 RAV4 and it runs great. I don't know that I'd want to take it on a road trip though - it's so old I worry that the safety technology is outdated and it's not that comfortable.

I think the problem is I acquired an Audi along the way, and I fell in love with the performance aspect of it BUT I simultaneously hated it every time it broke down.

I looked at Lexus SUVs, but I'm not in love with the way they drive or the way they look.

The BMWs are nice, I like the X3, but if you're going to go German and incur all the expense, why not just get a Porsche?

(probably tmi, but that that's how I arrived at this odd choice between a 4Runner and a Macan)[/quote]
