Crv

Subaru - Outback unless you really want the height of a Forester.

I actually traded in my 2008 MDX for a 2022 MDX and love it. I didn't really want to get the same car twice but I didn't like anything else as much. We don't need a third row, but definitely need the extra cargo space for travel. If you want longevity and reliability, I'd stick with Honda/Acura or Toyota/Lexus.

What stealability problem?

Rav4 or CRV. If Hyundai and Kia have fixed their steal-ability problem, I'd put Santa Fe and Sportage in the mix.

Might want to increase your budget if you want something that will last 15 additional years.

It is about time to say goodbye to my 2008 Acura MDX and I am at a loss as to what I should look for next, so I am hoping to crowd source here.

- Still want an SUV for height (good when I need to drive my elderly parents)
- No need for a 3rd row anymore, carpool driving days are behind me
- Safe for new teenage driver and soon-to-be other teenage driver
- I put on about 10k miles/year- would be interested in a hybrid but not electric
- Want to keep price < $40k, do not care at all about brand names
- Open to new or used
- Would hope to keep this for 15 years or so

Thank you for any advice!
