I had a 2021 Hyundai Tucson from new it had 10 warranty claims, one of which the car was immobilised in my garage for 3 days ! I ended up going back to a Mitsubishi outlander as I had one prior and it was rock solid. I’ve now got a 2021 outlander diesel with 10 years warranty and capped price servicing. My sister owns a 2018 outlander, her best friend has a 2018 model and my best friend has a 2014 model. None of which have had issues even when missing servicing. Cannot recommend an outlander more when looking second hand.

Had a 2016 cvt Outlander for 7 years, sounds like you are taling out of your hat. We never had a problem whatsoever, no idea what build quality issue you claim either. If buying a Rav4 or Mazda 5, good cars but frankly you are paying $10k+ just for a badge, and if the 2.0 l versions the weight makes them quite thrashy and underpowered.

key note to anyone who wants to own a kuga as of my experience, the battery change is a nightmare that makes u curse the engineers for its design, engine is solid and fun but the pipes for example coolant lines etc. is not like one straight pipe its like branch and leaves. One pipe will have multiple sublines and if one of those subline break, u gotta replace the entire section of specified pipe. If you can take care of it well, its a nice car

I agree the CX5 is the pick, Toyota's are great and I own a 200 but to achieve the 300,000km you have to spend the cash to maintain them. Re Subaru, CVT were introduced around 2014 so it's hard to avoid them. My wife drives a Mazda and my daughters both have newish Forresters, so hopefully gearbox will last.

I own a 2015 Ford Kuga 2.0 diesel 4x4 and it is an absolutely brilliant car. It is every bit the car that my young family needs: it looks good, loaded with optional extras, including blind spot assist, electric boot release, keyless go and entry and much much more. We have had for about 2 years now, done about 35000 miles, the wife commutes in it daily and it had absolutely no issues whats so ever, like zero, not a warning light, nothing. And we live in Europe so winters are harsh here, there were - 20C and very snowy and windy this winter. I am in love with it and just how dependeble it is. Also it is quite nice inside, the audio system is excellent and it has a particularly Suv feel to it which we love.

I've got a late model 2nd gen Outback (3rd gen Liberty) with the 3.0L flat-six engine. I haven't owned it long so I can't speak for what it's like to live with, but i absolutely adore it. I'm in those Outback groups and the diesel is always a point of contention to the point it's almost funny to watch. Most sensible people will say "steer clear of the diesel unless you're specifically looking for one and are prepared to take proper care of it.", because they are a handful and often dealers will just conveniently not tell you about the DPF stuff. But it can result in some small arguments or debates sometimes. The Subaru diesels do have a dedicated community of people who absolutely love them, and i totally get it! But the fans can _sometimes_ be a bit incapable of understanding that they're not for everyone. You get a lot of "I've never had an issue…" and a long list of caveats attached. That's the Subaru diesels in a nutshell really. They're "good, but…"

Watched this video, hoping for a recommendation to replace my 2024 Mazda CX-5 Turbo. It's really beautiful and quick but a few issues for me. I find the seats pretty uncomfortable. The suspension can make me nauseous. I live in an area with twisty, improperly banked roads. But even on a long expressway car trip, my son looked at me and said i feel sick. I only have 14,xxx miles on it. I saw a different youtube video, and he said it hops, and that seems exactly right. When folding the 2nd row down you have to remove the headrests (not in BMW X3 tho, do better Mazda!) The nanny lane keeping assist is pretty annoying and cannot be disabled, your choice: a vibration or a ring to warn you you touched the line. I live near very narrow twist roads, annoying. And touchscreen media device when stopped only. Took me months to figure that out. I traded in a 2022 Acura MDX, and i miss it so bad, but the panaromic roof leak I do not miss. The double wishbone suspension was perfect. Mazda was the only car with a sunroof and cooled seats. Might have to get Porsche Cayenne Coupe Lightweight edition, so there is no pano roof and cooled seats. Only need $120,000. Makes me nauseous to think of spending so much. So, there is no difference between it and Mazda now. 1 other choice the Honda passport has sunroof and cooled seats.

CX5's and the Outback H6's are the go . Different strokes for different goals though . CX5's the pick for say urban based SUV duties, very stylish and great handling, reliable , much like 3's. . Outbacks are just such good all arounders.. They're so minimally compromised vs a car for the amount of off road capability they have (for a soft roader) , very roomy , and amazing value for what you get. They're still off a lot of peoples radar's, and many shy away from 6 cyls over fuel consumption concerns, but they're no worse than any other 6 so I never really understood that one .

The Mazda diesel engine isn’t as bad as you say. It comes down to how the car is driven. If it’s to the shops and school drop off, stick to the petrol, as you won’t get the engine hot enough for a DPF burn. If you’re doing regular highway driving or at least 20 minutes of 80kph driving, as well as servicing by the book, they’ll keep going and going without any issues. Had a Mazda 6 diesel for 11 years it never missed a beat!

Which engine to buy is an important issue in SUV's - in fact in any car. Buy a proven engine (even if it's older). I am getting on in years now and wanted to move from my medium hatchback to a small/medium SUV. My old Peugeot 308 had the 2L diesel engine. Both mechanics (European specialists) told me to keep with the 2L diesel engine if possible as it was proven in Australian conditions. They told me to avoid the smaller petrol engines. I took their advice and bought a Peugeot 3008GT (HDi 2L diesel) - an ex demo. Huge saving on new and it was optioned up being an ex demo. Great decision. So, look at the car (SUV) but also look at the engine options - it's worth it for the long term.

I wanted the AWD with the 2.5 5 cylinder turbo engine from the XR5 and the Volvo XC60 etc. The ride and handling were a stand out with rave reviews from car mags at the time. I have had the ECU reprogrammed boosting the power to 200 kw and 400 Nm. This thing is a weapon handles great as well as comfortable and well appointed. I have had the dreaded PVC valve failure, but the after market now means it is no longer a $900 replacement of the whole oil filter housing.

So we have been looking at alot of these SUVs and most have abit of an overpriced feel about them and they are all under powered. My dad after happily getting around in he's fg Ford Falcon xr6 has finally decided to change things up a bit. We were almost set on a VW T Roc but we came across the new/demo Ford Escape 2.0ltr turbo 183kw (0-100 6.5secs) Drives like a hot hatch. Power wise close to the falcon. Not to mention it looks the Aston Martin DBX from some angles...My wild card was the Alfa Stelvio 2018 is a fire cracker....looks amazing...

A note on service histories. I just purchased a MG3, two years old, ~35,000 kms. I looked at the latest service stamp before purchase with attenion. It was less than two weeks old. When I got it home, I did the basic daily check. Fluid levels, cold tire pressures etc. If somebody had looked at any of them, they must have been wearing dark sunglasses. The tire pressures were all over the shop, 9 to 11 PSI off spec. The engine oil appeared dark and dirty. My last car was a Subaru Impressa [2007] , and its oil after an oil and filter change stayed clear for months afterwards. I really should have sent the engine oil off to the lab. But it is expensive to test. So I got an oil and filter change service. Surprise surprise, months later and I can hardly see the oil when I check the dip-stick, which is exactly how it should be with a modern, recent, low kms vehicle. I used to service vehicles, including pre-sale inspections. The pre-sale, and early post- sale servicing was NOT a waste of time. Loose or incorrectly torqued fasteners, almost dry differential cases and gearboxes [automatic or manual], a missing shock absorber [on a new vehicle!]. And sure, if the docs are all stamped, and the services done on time, if something blows up or falls off, your warranty is safe. But that is really not the point here. Be skeptical. Computerized vehicles make home servicing difficult. Look beyond the shiny. Get independent checks done occasionally. Most mechanics and service departments do the right thing, but some do not. Check the warranty's fine print to see if the warranty is voided by 3rd part servicing. Perhaps use the RAC. Or a known good mechanic or shop. Most jacks and wheel nut wrenches supplied with the vehicle suck. it is hard enough for many people to change a wheel on a level driveway with this equipment, never mind on a sloping verge in the rain on a dark night. So a decent bottle jack, and one of those "cross' wheel wrenches with for nuts sizes. Consider a half-inch drive battery [cordless] impact wrench with the right sized socket. The same battery pack can power a LED light and electric air pump for tires. Also worth getting a cheap torque wrench, again a half inch drive for most situations. Cut-price tire vendors can forget to torque wheel nuts to spec. Or anyone really. They are out there. Not many, but they exist. Consider an OBD-2 scanner. There are some nasty rumours out there about some ultra-cheap ones frying car electronics. I got one for ~$50. Ask the vendor if you can plug it in before you buy. Fancy models obviously give more capability and speed, and you basically pay extra for that, which is fair. Anyway, it is just a thought.

Old diesels never die. The ones from the 90s. The new ones with turbos and DPFs frequently fail. I had a brand new mercedes truck 16T turbo diesel crap itself and destroy the turbo. $11,000 for a new one and they wouldnt warranty it. Excessive idle time you see...

The VW T-Roc and the Skoda Karoq with the Aisin 8 speed auto and 1.4T are not too bad as new cars given how sharply the base models are priced. Buying a Toyota would be a better idea though, however, you do have around $7K in your pocket to pay for maintenance and repairs.

I don't think I'd pick any of the ones that are on this list just because I like to get off the beat path a little bit too much so none of them with a low range transfer case would really work for me I know some of y'all will dry ones get out pretty far nowadays but I guess I'm a little old school that way and I rather just have that transfer case

I am on my 7th CRV I have owned all the models from mk1, currently on a Mk5 with the 1.5 Turbo AWD engine and the manual 6 speed gearbox, I have had zero issues with her, the engine has exceeded 100,000 miles gets the usual annual service at Honda , very happy with her, I will be changing to a newer car this year but it will not be a CRV as here in Northern Europe they have dropped the 1.5t engine and only sell the 2.0 Hybrid, I do not want a Hybrid so will be looking elsewhere , sorry Honda you have dropped the ball dropping the popular and reliable 1.5t. The 1.5t engine runs best on E5 99 octane fuel and will give better mileage I have found the E10 fuel does not suit our Northern winters might be fine for warmer climates.
