Your mom says she doesn't want to be a guinea pig for Hyundai or Kia, yet she's coming from a Dodge Caravan that you even mentioned wasn't great, maintenance-wise. And to make it even worse, she only has a $24,000 price limit and you're excluding a lot of the cars because it's not "your cup of tea.". Sounds to me like this is more about what Jr wants than what Mom wants. Good luck with your search. |
I understand now that I didn't include enough information on the vehicles on the list to be clear. I'll work on updating it tonight. Sorry for the confusion, I realize you can only help as much as I allow.
I listed what I knew to be SUVs that my mom would possibly be interested in. I
do not know a lot about the reliability issues of the cars I chose, or specific problems to each model. I never stated I did, in fact I asked everyone to help me out by telling me of problems with any of the ones I listed or experiences they've personally had.
As for Kias/Hyundais/Izuzus, I'm sorry, she's just not interested in them. That doesn't mean they're bad cars, I've heard many good things about Hyundais, it just means that she's not going to get one. Again, buying a car is a personal choice. Are the cars I'm excluding the Kias and Hyundais and Izuzus? I don't mean to be misleading, she is the one excluding them, not me.
I'm trying to be as open and unbiased as possible. Normally I am totally biased towards Hondas/Acuras
But I'm trying to cover as many models and makes as I can think of. I currently know little about other models(besides Honda/Acura) which is why I'd love your input
My mom is also looking at this and giving her personal input as I write and respond so much of what is written are her ideas.
